"According to the National Foundation for American Policy, more than half of all US technology startups are founded by immigrants. So without an easy path toward citizenship, or in the face of a clamping down on foreign work visas, Silicon Valley faces to lose more than just its lobbying goals in Washington. It could begin to see its influence in all sectors of modern industry — from entertainment to transportation to finance — wane as foreign workers and startup founders are denied entry and begin establishing technology centers outside the US.

This could have a number of lasting ripple effects as large tech companies start feeling disadvantaged. “A company like Oracle or some of the enterprise software companies, you could see them potentially losing global market share because of this,” Atkinson says. To counter, those companies could look to Canada. “Places like Vancouver, Toronto, even Montreal could be an option for American tech companies,” he adds. Canada could also use this opportunity to court foreign startup founders away from places like Palo Alto. "

“A company like Oracle or some of the enterprise software companies, you could see them potentially losing global market share because of this,” Atkinson says.

Bad example;
I was at Sun Microsystems when the blithering idiots at Oracle took over.
I fled screaming after suffering two years of the worst employer I ever had.

I'd regard Oracle loosing market share as a total blessing.

The sooner that festering pile of shit disappears forever the better.
