Trump Administration's Affect on Stip Clubs?
Myoman
It is certainly time to start a discussion regarding whether Trump's anti-immigrant policies can, very unfortunately for us, have a negative effect on our beloved hobby. It is no debate that the hottest and most avid dancers nnd "pros" are not American, but rather hail from countries all over the world. God bless women from Latin/South America, Russia/Ukraine/Eastern Europe and, more recently, other countries sending over their talent. I can't imagine strip club experiences without a constant turnover of immigrant women!
So, I don't have a clear sense of what kind of visas etc these girls come on and whether the new policies will diminish their beautiful supply to our clubs. What do y'all think? Will this pose a problem for us? I'm a little worried to be honest.
(And Let's all please just stay honest and not to try to push any political agenda - let's just stick to this particular topic for this discussion).

I thought Cubans were considered refugees from communism, anyways. Not sure how many strippers jumped the Rio Grande.
Well, the massive influx of illegal immigrants that we've seen over the last four years hadn't happened yet, so those golden strip club years couldn't have been solely because of mass illegal immigration. Obviously, there were other factors that made the good old days the good old days.
Don't fret over the deportations. Next to nothing will change, for better or worse.
Hell, even if you’re tellin’ us about a bridge game you should probably post in the political forum. ROAR!!!
This should greatly benefit strip clubs.
If strippers are ID'ed as criminals, then yeah, out you go.
What did he do about strip clubs in his first 4 years?
Cry me a river.
To give my own anecdote, any club that that has Hispanic dancers (Cubans, Columbian, etc) generally have higher rates of extras and those extras are reasonably priced (500 or lower).
In contrast, I live near clubs where Hispanic dancers are rare and this is in Alabama, your standard Southern state. Extras cost anywhere from 800 to 1000. Either these dancers don't have a clue that escort websites exist or there is no real competition. Technically my area has cheaper options, as long as looks don't have to go past 7.
The point is that illegal immigrants provide the necessary competition to force interactions to not cost a mortgage payment.
@ Lex Luthor, I think the golden age, be it 20 to 30 years ago, simply had the benefit of people not being as perpetually online as today. Nowadays, Strippers have StripperTok and a bunch of outside influences that create this echo chamber that they should be making 1000 minimum every night. That's certainly possible, but the reality is that Stripper wages are directly proportional to the economy their male clients have. Some areas just have better traffic for strippers than others.
Having these idealistic views to getting rich quick is the problem. The truth is that strippers have to learn the game in their respective counties.
