I think it's definitely a concern as anecdotally it has become much harder to get a H1B. See https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/23/opinion/immigration-visa-h1b-trump-.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/23/opinion/immigration-visa-... and https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-06/trump-s-h-1b-reform-is-to-make-life-hell-for-immigrants-and-companies https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-11-06/trump-s-h... Also worth mentioning is that Congress has been working on raising the minimum annual salary for people on H!B by $30k to $90k. Looking at what's going on, my personal take is that H1B will stick around, but there will be fewer open spots and there will be a lot more competition. I'd talk to whomever you work with to currently sponsor H1Bs and get their take as well since I imagine it will be more accurate. Also something that may be worth doing is talking to your representatives about the issue (senator and rep). Try scheduling a meeting to talk about H1B.
