You know a good way to reverse this trend, though? Force all those people to take all the skills they've learned back to their home countries.

I work at a Big-N and there are many teams that are majority non-citiens. If they're forced to leave the US, do you think the company will try to replace them with Americans, or just move the team?

What you're saying is certainly true, which is why people who already have a visa were exempted from the order. (Some may choose to leave because of the uncertainty, of course, but that would be true for any immigration reform.)
