华盛顿5月29日路透电——美国旅游行业代表机构周五表示，撤除纽瓦克机场的移民官员将造成“即时且持久的损害”，每年可能因游客消费损失美国经济80亿美元，并导致美国旅客滞留。
美国旅游协会指出，位于纽约市附近新泽西州的纽瓦克机场的美国海关官员，每年要为500万回国的美国旅客办理入境手续。

该协会表示：“全美各地的美国旅客可能会发现赴美航班改道或取消。数百万国际游客也将遭遇同样的 disruption（此处保留原文表述更符合语境），而距国际足联世界杯开幕仅剩数周，美国作为友好旅游目的地的声誉将遭受重大且持久的损害。”
该协会补充称，机场停运还可能危及数十亿美元的进口货运业务。
周四，美国国土安全部部长警告称，由于新泽西州北部当地执法部门未协助联邦移民官员，特朗普政府可能很快停止在纽瓦克机场处理国际旅客和货运业务。
国土安全部部长马克韦恩·穆林抱怨称，当地警方未确保联邦移民官员能够进出新泽西州的一处拘留中心，并警告他可能从机场调走海关官员。
周二，穆林表示，特朗普政府正在制定计划，停止在拒绝配合移民打击行动的“庇护城市”的美国主要机场处理国际旅客和货运业务。
此举可能实际上暂停民主党州内主要机场的国际航空旅行和商务活动，而预计下月开幕的世界杯将有数百万外国游客赴美观赛。
世界杯决赛将于7月19日在新泽西州东卢瑟福举行，该地距离纽瓦克机场约12英里。
美国司法部公布了所谓庇护城市和州的名单，其中包括波士顿、丹佛、费城、芝加哥、洛杉矶、纽约市、纽瓦克、西雅图和旧金山等拥有主要国际机场的众多城市。
仅纽约三大机场去年的国际旅客入境量就超过5000万人次。

WASHINGTON, May 29 (Reuters) – A group representing the U.S. travel industry said Friday that removing immigration officials from Newark airport would cause “immediate and lasting harm” and could cost the U.S. economy $8 billion annually in spending by tourists and strand Americans.
The U.S. Travel Association noted that U.S. customs officials at New Jersey’s Newark airport near New York City process 5 million Americans returning home annually.

“American travelers from across the U.S. could find their flights into the U.S. diverted or canceled,” the group said. “Millions of international visitors will face the same disruption, and with the FIFA World Cup weeks away, the damage to America’s reputation as a welcoming destination would be significant and lasting.”
A shutdown could also imperil billions of dollars in imported cargo, the group added.
On Thursday, the head of the Homeland Security Department warned the Trump administration could soon stop processing international travelers and cargo at Newark airport because local law enforcement are not assisting federal immigration officials in northern New Jersey.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin complained that local police were not ensuring that federal immigration officials could enter and exit a New Jersey detention center and warned he could reassign customs officials from the airport.
On Tuesday, Mullin said the Trump administration was drawing up plans to stop processing international travelers and cargo at major U.S. airports in “sanctuary cities” that have declined to cooperate with an immigration crackdown.
The move could effectively halt international air travel and commerce at major airports in Democratic states, with millions of foreign tourists expected to stream in for next month’s start of the FIFA World Cup.
The final will be held July 19 in East Rutherford, New Jersey, about 12 miles from Newark airport.
The U.S. Justice Department published a list of so-called sanctuary cities and states that included many cities with major international airports including Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, Newark, Seattle and San Francisco.
More than 50 million international travelers arrived at the three major New York airports alone last year.
