The Executive Order suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), impacting businesses that rely on immigrant labor or refugee entrants for staffing and consumer demand. This suspension may lead to resource allocation changes and potential loss of revenue in communities heavily affected by refugee resettlement. Sections 2 and 3 particularly emphasize national interests and local jurisdiction roles, which could affect local economies.
