川普当总统以后，移民美国可能更难了。大家小心！

准备移民美国的同学，请关注移民法规的变迁，做好两手或者三手准备。已经拿到工作聘书的同学但仍有身份问题的，赶紧咨询如何拿到绿卡。这东西说没就没的。川普总统，不按常理出牌。连老辣的耶鲁 ＪＤ　都败在他的手下，可别小瞧他。

留美的路途，越来越艰辛。

彻底改革移民政策

特朗普团队将实施十大计划来完善美国移民体系，来保障美国团结和美国利益优先。

他的计划包括：（1）在美国南部边境修一道墙；（2）取消现在美国对偷渡入境者“捉了就放（catch-and-release）的做法，非法入境的移民会遭羁押与驱逐出境；（3）对移民犯罪零容忍；（4）不发经费给包庇非法移民的“避难城”；（5）取消违反宪法的行政命令 — 意指取消奥巴马“暂缓遣返令”，并实行所有移民法律；（6）验明身分之前，不发某些特定国家的签证申请（包括叙利亚、利比亚）；（7）确认被遣返非法移民的国家确切接收了非法移民；（8）完善“生物识别出入签证追踪系统（Biometric Entry-Exit Visa Tracking System）”，来追查逾期居留的外国人；（9）拒绝为非法移民提供工作；（10）改革移民法，保障美国及美国工人的利益。

Trump Wants Big Changes to Legal Immigration, Too — How Big?

While there’s a lot of guesswork about Trump’s policies, there’s one thing the rest of the world should prepare for: a titanic shift in immigration since Trump wants to take back jobs "stolen" by foreigners.

Trump’s hard-line position on immigration doesn’t just affect undocumented immigrants; he wants to severely restrict legal migration too. Trump has vowed to “keep immigration levels, measured by population share, within historical norms.”

Trump may eliminate H-1B visas completely; he may reduce the annual quota for green cards issued. Not only employment-based immigration will be limited, family-based (marriage) immigration will be affected as well. Prepare for a bumpy ride.

Good luck!

On one hand, if he improves the economic of the US, there may be more jobs for educated international students.
On the other hand, can international students still be eligible to work in the US?
LOL

川普的竞选口号是给美国人更多的工作机会，保障美国团结和美国利益优先。因此，OPT, CPT 以及 H1-B 都可能被砍掉。这样，美国人会避免和外国人竞争同样的职位，因此美国人更容易就业。律师行业的美国人，尤其是失业的美国人，并不少。

Good analysis! I do not have a crystal ball to pick the winner between the two hands. May the stronger hand win!

I can't type Chinese on this computer. Still I'd like to say, the impact of this election may last much longer than people's thoughts. Despite the real risks toward international students, minority groups, and female, the split in American can make the whole environment worse and worse.
The employer may know that international students can work better than American students in special context, but they can't hire them because the policy from the White House and new legislation from the Congress.
With the decrease of the numbers of international students in law firms and companies, it will be even harder to have competitive network for out law students. I mean I don't know if the deep blue areas still work.

VA is barely blue, but Northern Viginia and Richmond (where the legal jobs are) are deep blue!

现在再去美国读JD是不是送死的选择了……如果能接受不在美国工作，外派到其他国家呢？

目前还不清楚川普是否能把自己以前的 campaign promise 付诸实施。比如他对 H-1B 签证的看法：

Trump's opposition to H-1B visas

Trump issued this statement: "I will end forever the use of the H-1B as a cheap labor program, and institute an absolute requirement to hire American workers first for every visa and immigration program. No exceptions."

如果他真去取缔 H-1B 签证，那么没有身份读 JD 的确凶多吉少，只有婚姻绿卡这条路了。

的确。从比例上来说，女生机会很高；男生的机会相对小多了。

移民这东西，就跟电梯一样，进去的人其实并不希望外面的人再进去了，这样里面空间能大一点，也有点优越感，哪怕他当初进电梯也曾经等半天，但实际上电梯不止一部。移民政策这事目前不好说，打击非法的多了，没准合法的还会略微增加，从竞选看，川普承诺的主要是蓝领岗位，但种族主义会抬头，这个不利。很多人要的是美国工作经验，不是非要移民不可，时代不同了。

Trump's election sets stage for H-1B reform

The H-1B program "was only supposed to be used for an unfilled job that you couldn't find an American worker for."

The IT industry wants cheaper foreign-trained workers to be hired (and replace more expensive U.S. workers). If the Trump administration reduces or eliminates the H-1B program due to its proclaimed purpose of "helping American workers," foreign-trained attorneys would suffer from the scaled-back H-1B visa sponsorship in the U.S.

Granted, it would take some time for the new H-1B visa program to set in motion. Having a plan B, especially for those in 1L or 2L years, would be a good idea. The tides may change. Consider yourself warned.

As to LLM students, this change may be irrelevant since most LLM students would go back to their home countries any way.

If Trump keeps his campaign promises, the so-called "American Dream" may be limited to U.S. citizens only . However, Trump is known to eat his own words. We will see his moves in 2017.
