How can Donald Trump's strategies affect the international student in US?

"In one of the most shocking U.S. elections in modern political history, Donald Trump has defeated Hillary Clinton."

As we know one of the most important main ideas of Donald Trump is to secure native American's rights and social status, including employment and education. So how this could affect the international students who currently attending schools like me? There are 2 main affects:

1.  The choice of majors
As Hillary mentioned during the campaign, if she won the election, the students who major in STEM(Science, Technology, Engineer, Mathematics) will automatically get green card after graduation. But after Trump won the election, the list of STEM will be updated, change the majors according to the demand of market and then  narrow down the range.

2. The number of international student and the job opportunity
Trump always been saying "Make America Great Again", his attitude towards immigrants and migrant workers is not so friendly. In early this year, March, Trump once said, "The H1B visa is either belongs to high technology visa or immigrant visa, it is just for those cheap recruiters who temporarily take place of Americans." And Trump's newest policies of H1B is: a) Increase prevailing wage for H-1Bs. b)  Preferentially hire Native Americans.
