Ask HN: Has the recent rulings/news affected your hiring efforts?

I am wondering about all these recent changes to immigration and how it is affecting small to large companies and their experience these first few weeks and their outlook on the future.

I've read some medium posts... but that's just a few cases.

I am on the other side of the equation. Graduating this summer with Masters in Artificial Intelligence, I always wanted to immigrate to USA and work on solving interesting problems. But NO WAY I am doing this now. With all the recent things going, you never know when your life will be flipped upside down. And I can't risk investing so much efforts/time into such process (especially that I am muslim). I think there's a lot of other people like me. Even with the companies problem, I think, more people than ever now don't want to go to the US. Germany seems like a way much better choice now.

You can come to Canada, especially in Montreal, which is a good place for AI research.
