I'm an American born graduate student in Chemistry lab at an R1 school and the funding landscape has been a very hot topic throughout the department. No tenured professors have said they would move, but we probably wouldn't receive that information until they had already made the decision (as was the case with my boss and switching schools). Once I am done with graduate school I will be considering employment at a university oversees that appreciates it's scientists. And it wouldn't be as difficult for many of these tenured professors to make the transition. They all collaborate with researchers oversees. They already have all the connections needed. Furthermore, the institutions over there would jump at opportunities to poach them. Moving across the globe isn't nearly as difficult these days as it would have been in the 1930s. And if moving across the globe would've fixed Americans' problems during the Great Depression I doubt they would've hesitated.
