Transition from Canada to U.S.

I'm currently employed at an institutional RE firm in Toronto. You could even consider it REPE. My position is "Investment Analyst". I'd like to work in the United States one day (New York, San Francisco, LA, Boston, Chicago).

Would firms even consider me as a potential candidate? I am not American - I can only imagine that it would be impossible for me to get employment while Trump is president. Would it even be possible if Trump is not re-elected in 2020? What was the environment like before 2016?

P.S. no intentions of offending anyone when stating “What if Trump is not elected?”, just stating a possibility.

Best,
Dom
