7. Well that will improve the tourist industry

I say that sarcastically.

The tourist industry is the 3rd largest employer in the United States. And statistics on tourism for the first half of 2025 are very bad.

Canadians have stopped visiting. They use to be our number one tourist. Mexican tourist have declined, they were our 2nd most frequent visitors. This will certainly not encourage tourism. Unless of course you want your picture to end up on an ICE detention list.
