Namely, less visas, fewer passports, hurdles for immigrants and the like. It's unfortunate, because what makes America great is the free flow of people and ideas. I haven't seen it mentioned on this site, but the average corporate tax in Europe is now less than in the U.S. That's shocking info, but quite accurate. Stay tuned for the consequences.
