"High-quality" is a metric that was already established by the article:
> They’re looking for the LeBrons and Bradys — the best people in the world
"High-quality" means "would pass an interview at a top tech company that your typical US mediocre programmer or CS graduate would fail", or perhaps "could work as a senior executive at a top tech company". The article is presenting an argument that hiring at tech companies would be affected; humanitarian concerns are irrelevant to that argument.
