Which major effects do you think will Trump's administration have on legal immigration of professionals? As qualified Europeans, what do we need to watch out for and what should the US watch out for? Do you think the suffering from "reverse brain drain" will be significant? Should we just simply wait for the next president to attempt to immigration?

Thanks for your answer!

That's what I have heard so far...that the primary target are the IT professionals. However, as you said there will be collateral damage which may be quite substantial.

I'm not sure how much the US depends on qualified foreign work force such as teachers and researchers, but I'm sure it's a sector you don't wanna do without.

Where do you see the US in 4 years when this stays in effect for the duration of the term?

Thank you!

You said in another comment that Trump's immigration scheme should be "replaced with immigration categories that reward talent and education"

I kind of almost hope that the effects show quickly so someone can give alternative advice on how to solve that problem!

What do you think legal immigrants should do? Try nonetheless or better wait?
