This one isn't as bad as some other things that have already happened in the space, but I've been wondering...

If I was a non-US person, who previously wanted to visit or move the US -- as a student, industry engineer/scientist, academic researcher, teacher, doctor/nurse, investor/founder, conference attendee, or tourist -- recent news events would've already had me put that wish on hold, indefinitely.

Even though those all are people that the US wants coming, they are being discouraged.

So, who has the US already started missing out on, what are the situations of people who are still coming, and how soon will even they stop?

Hey that's me! I was even willing to do long distance relationship with my partner for it and almost landed a job offer.

I wouldn't say indefinitely but it did indeed put a dent after that 2 German tourists being detained for a week. I even got a US flight ticket (for tourism) as a gift from my mom since I had told her I want to visit SV but that one got on hold too.

I don't consider myself exceptionally competent or talented so I'm not sure you're missing out on much tho. At least big companies, probably not much. Top of the top talents are probably not deterred and big companies probably have framework to mitigate the turbulence
