I think this is great news for countries like Canada and UK.

It is incredible to me that there are hundreds of US-centric comments and yours is the only one I saw who recognized the benefit for basically every other country people want to live and work in.

And I've talked to a few Canadians, despite the Liberal party winning, there is real push for Canada to severely restrict immigration and that is currently happening.

The push back against immigration is against the way it was exploited by scammers to exploit people and make money from them.

The sort of high educated immigrants of the sort that would work in software engineering will not face remarkable headwinds.
