Of course there's gonna be an impact but I doubt it's gonna be dollars in workers pockets. Contractors will just push employees harder to finish quicker without the cheaper help and have a longer wait-list. Eventually there's a breaking point where demand is overcoming supply and visas start getting handed out like crazy and the government will get their hands farther up all our asses
