Trump's immigration policy hurting Americans

The economic value I studied is the idea that President Trump’s immigration policy is setting a backlash on Americans and more importantly immigrants. The travel ban has already started decreasing tourism in America from foreigners, causing billions of potential dollars to be lost. According to the Chicago Tribune, New York being the most travelled city in America for foreigners has already seen a 2% drop in tourism this year. This will mark the first decline in New York’s tourism in eight consecutive years. With Trumps plan in act the U.S. will lose about 4.3 million international visitors which will translate to 7.4 billion deficit of lost revenue. Critics such as John McCain believe this ban will only feed ISIS and help aid recruitment. The Syrian Civil War has already killed about 400,000 civilians and the number only increases everyday. Additionally, the US refugee program has been issued an 120 day suspension. The US will not accept more than 50,000 refugees a year, decreasing the 110,000 cap from the Obama administration.
