JAMAICA - As the immigration policies being implemented by the Donald Trump Administra-tion take hold, travel anxiety has developed among Jamaican green card holders in the United States (US).
As a result, the island’s tourism industry is bracing for a possible downturn in arrivals from the north.
Reports reaching The Sunday Gleaner are that several green card holders who would normally travel to Jamaica, especially over the summer, are having second thoughts about taking the trip. The Sunday Gleaner reached out to some of these green card holders to gauge their travel plans. One green card holder, who asked only to be identified as Richard, said he was still deciding whether to travel to Jamaica later this year as he has done in the past, “I am half and half. I am concerned with all the new policies that keep changing day to day and I am not sure that I want to take the chance of going to Jamaica and not being able to rejoin my family in the US,” he said.
