in a country like japan, "high skill" means "phd and/or legit scientific publication record or patents in your name" and that makes sense. hiring a good scientist or engineer from anywhere isn't a bad idea as long as they speak the local language adequately. but we know that this is not how elon intends to really use h-1b nor do most other employers, he wants to use it to cut overall overhead costs and flesh out a bunch of low and mid level positions with them too en masse. this is the part that natural born americans have a problem with because tons of them can definitely absolutely do those jobs too, and elon disingenuously pretends they can't and otherwise keeps pretending that he doesn't understand that real sticking point of the issue and trying to straw man his opposition.  this whole kekius maximus thing is him basically trying to say "look at how cringe my opponents are, they look and act like this this i am actually right" which again is not an argument or rationale other than "fuck you i'm doing it anyway."
