Are Canadians less likely to get Biglaw because of visa issues?

I am a Canadian 0L with strong chances for t6. Ideally I would want to study and work in the U.S., however, I feel that Biglaw firms would be less willing to hire Canadians since they would have to sponsor me for an H1B. I know there is the TN visa, but given that Trump is so against NAFTA, there is a chance that it could get taken away. Does anyone have any insights on this?

I and all the Canadians I know had experiences identical to those of Americans. Couldn't tell a lick of difference. YMMV though, especially since NAFTA stuff will be more at the front of peoples' minds in the next several years.

This issue also concerns me, but honestly, I don't think anything will happen to NAFTA.
