2017 JD graduates and LLM graduates would be the Guinea pig to foretell the future for you.

My advice: Get your green card before becoming a JD student.

JD prospect discussions

Listen to the arguments from both sides in the above thread. Make your own decision thereafter.

In my mind, Trump prefers Whites. That said, some of his allies proposed many proposals to limit legal immigration. The following is one:

如果这个法案通过了，大陆生找工作的希望更渺茫了。FYI, Sessions would become Attorney General (AG) in the Trump administration. Ted Cruz supports Trump in banning Muslims.

CRUZ, SESSIONS TARGET 'GUEST-WORKER' LAW

http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/cruz-sessions-take-aim-at-guest-work

Key highlights of the bill include:

-Requiring H-1B employers who seek H-1B visas under the program to commit to paying the foreign workers they recruit either what an American worker who did identical or similar work made two years prior to the recruiting effort, or $110,000 (whichever is higher).

-Establishing a “layoff cool-off” period of two years (730 days), which would prevent an employer from bringing on an H-1B visa-based foreign worker within two years of an employee strike, an employer lockout, layoffs, furloughs, or other types of involuntary employee terminations other than for-cause dismissals.

-Strengthening internal (company) and external (public domain) transparency requirements, in order to ensure that both company employees and the job-seeking public are aware of the company’s H-1B visa application and potential job opportunities at the company.

-Requiring increased H-1B visa application transparency on the part of the Department of Labor, with real-time online updating of companies’ H-1B visa application submissions, the publication of certain application information (including the identities of the companies and employees who have submitted the applications), and additional reporting to Congress about program abusers.

Preventing continued use of the non-statute-based Optional Practical Training (OPT) Program, and the creation and use of other similar programs, which have also been used to displace American workers under the guise of student training.

确实，Trump Administration 的政策一言以蔽之就是 —— Buy American, Hire American

It seems that there is little, if any, change made to the H-1B visa application process this year. What a relief!

Although President Trump signed a new Executive Order on April 18, 2017, two weeks after the H-1B season opened for Fiscal Year, that executive order ONLY commissions the Department of Homeland Security to review the way the visas are processed and issued with the goal of future H-1B visas going to highly paid, specially skilled applicants, and not foreign workers who might be paid less than their U.S. counterparts.

For attorneys, I assume the pay is the same for immigrants and Americans. Therefore, it should not be an issue. The Executive order targets high tech industry (hiring programmers, engineers, etc.), not the legal service industry. But the overarching goal of the Trump administration to "Hire Americans" (so elegantly phrased by Iuris) is a sword of Damocles hanging over head. Let's hope nothing changes to the worse.

Knock on woods.
