Trump’s immigration siege is rattling hospitality industry, workers say
AI Summary
Donald Trump's immigration policies are negatively impacting the US hospitality industry, according to a report by Unite Here, the largest hospitality union in the US. The report cites a loss of 98,000 hospitality jobs between December 2024 and December 2025, attributing it to a crackdown on immigration that has scared workers and deterred international tourism. The US saw a $1.2 billion drop in tourism revenue during the same period, with international visitors declining by 2.5 million in 2025. Unite Here representatives report that authorized workers have been detained, and tourism from Canada to Minnesota has significantly decreased, leading to substantial revenue losses for local businesses. The union argues that the administration's policies, including visa bans and increased enforcement, are responsible for the industry's struggles.
