That's not what he said - the article even quotes him saying something else:

“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, especially those with vocational training. I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

He's not saying that people won't keep wanting to immigrate. He's saying that the USA will have no (self-interested) reason to let them in.

A lot of immigration happens because people are unhappy with their country/government they were born into and don't have any power to change something. But of course fascists don't want to let people have the option to simply turn away from their nepotism, corruption and mismanagement.

It won't stop him from immigrating to his beach front property built on the remains of dead Palestinians.

We are going to ruin America so much that no one will want to come anymore ! To be fair they are doing a pretty good job right now to achieve this goal...

Tech bros all shoveling cash into the trunk of their cars because they realize the tide is shifting and time is running out.

Yup. They are trying to make sure the bubble pops while Trump is in office because of there's even 1% chance a Democrat president won't sign that bail out check (I know that is not how it works) or support a bail out. They are rushing to make sure the American people are left holding the bag.
