The companies that hire these engineers either pay them to work there or pay them to work here. So you are competing with them regardless. But the US can benefit from both migrant farm workers and skilled laborer immigrants. And unless you're one of the few natives in the US, your ancestors got the same benefit. Let's just let them immigrate here and then we get the benefit of their expertise and their culture.

Personally, I think people underestimate the unique talent in the west coast of the US, so wages will not be immediately depressed - but it is clear that this is a move premised on the idea that we have to lower the salaries of technical workers in the US.
