Without pressure, local companies do not compete.

We need to let them in at a limited capacity and the domestic companies need to feel the heat.

I agree that we’re subsidizing these companies at the cost of the consumer, but I highly doubt they could compete on a level playing field. The competition would be between foreign suppliers. The consumer surplus could be redirected more productively but that number would be diffuse and not easy to measure.
