The most hilarious thing is to see Elon raging against immigrants and then move first thing to support H1Bs

He never raged against immigrants overall. Just against illegal ones. There's no contradiction here. Elon many times called for reform of H1B towards simplification and much higher quotas, or abolition of quotas overall.

And i think it's right - illegal immigration should be simply physically impossible - you try to cross the border in the wrong place, you get a bullet. That is possible and must be done exactly this way. Legal immigration must be streamlined and simplified because all Western nations need population.

I prefer robots and I think we are getting close to them being viable for closing labor gaps.

I said "Western" not meaning that other nations don't need it. Only that they don't get a shot getting those people anyway as everyone wants to live in the West. But, everyone is experiencing birthrate decline and before long every single nation will be in a state of significant to severe demographic crisis. Immigration is only a temporary solutions though, till societies reform to get over the idea of "government babies" who are coming and are entirely inevitable.

That's gross. You are not a good person.
