> Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and all of them are hiring (using the H1B) for roles that could in 99% of cases be filled by Americans

Yes, but a non significant portion of their revenues comes from outside US too. Would you prefer Apple setup offices in UK and hire people there instead. Wouldn't that be a bigger loss for you?

(For 60% of their revenue coming from outside US, ~10% of Apple's corporate employees are on H1B.)

Apple already do that? They have >20 office worldwide.

Less competition for local resources would be better for the people already in the area.
