I (U.S. citizen) personally know highly-skilled software engineers who emigrated to the U.S. from Anglosphere countries to work at U.S. companies, who have since resigned and gone back to their home countries explicitly because of Trump's election. These aren't Middle-Easterners or illegal immigrants, these are white people for whom a $200k salary wasn't enough to convince them to endure a rising tide of nationalism. Skilled foreign workers are already selecting themselves out of our economy, regardless of country of origin. Not equivalent to the Nazi brain drain, though in an amusing twist I also know one American software engineer who has moved to Germany to ride out Trump.

Anecdote: I'm a US citizen working in Europe, but I'm not going back to the US until I know with better certainty where the country is going.
