How will an executive order of H1B minimum wage raise to 130K impact academia?

It looks like the order is still in the draft stage, but if it does get implemented, will this completely wipe out chances for foreign Post-docs, academics, or university staff to get a position in the US?

Every single version of this that has been discussed has an exemption for research. This one likely will as well. 

It probably should be set as a minimum of ~130% of NIH scale if it wanted to have a commensurate effect on post-doc hiring as the 130K limit would have in Silicon Valley.
