Some more recent numbers-

As stated in its Q1 2020 report Hyatt owns or leases 7% of its total rooms compared to Hilton at 2% and Marriott at 1%.

There are only only about 7 corporate hotels total left in IHG’s portfolio.

When you have that many caveats on what's already a small part of the market, that's called the exception to the rule

My industry has used eVerify since EV was first started, so no difference for myself going forward.

To solve the problem make it a felony to employ illegal aliens. Then convict a couple couple of corporate big shots for it and give them hard time. That might do the trick.

Maybe you should learn more about what it means to be an undocumented immigrant. Some of them are granted temporary entry and work permits, which allows them to work, legally - and pay taxes, and social security tax - without receiving any social security benefits. The money they pay in goes into the fund, that working citizens benefit from upon retirement or disability.

Refugees are considered undocumented immigrants, and the federal government has provisions to allow a certain amount of them in every year.

Calling undocumented immigrants "illegals" is ignorant behavior, and inaccurate. The only people who are "illegals" are people who are not recognized and acknowledged by their parents. You know the word "illegitimate" better but that's what it means to be an "illegal."

What’s the difference between legal and undocumented immigrants?

Legal immigrants are foreign-born people legally admitted to the U.S.

Undocumented immigrants, also called illegal aliens, are foreign-born people who do not possess a valid visa or other immigration documentation, because they entered the U.S. without inspection, stayed longer than their temporary visa permitted, or otherwise violated the terms under which they were admitted.

I'm not so sure why using the term "illegal" is an issue... when they are, in fact, here illegally...?

If you have a driver's license and drive your car, you're driving legally.
If you don't have a license (either never had one, let it expire, or violated certain terms) and drive, you are undocumented for the purposes of driving, and are thus, an illegal driver.

While I agree that our immigration laws need to be revamped and more accessible to some degree, I don't make the laws -- none of us here do. Law is law. Immigrate without following written law, and you've immigrated illegally. Overstay your visa, and your legal documents are no longer valid, thus you are undocumented, and, staying illegally.

If an undocumented migrant is granted a work permit, temporary entry, or any other legal document that allows them to stay, they are no longer undocumented, and their status is no longer illegal.

As an addendum to this, my industry’s background checks, and procedural barriers to entry, are far more stringent than EV could ever be. To me, it seems like EV should be the least of anyone’s worries when applying to my sort of employment.

The answer is in your own post. But to clarify:

"illegal" when used correctly, and NOT as a pejorative, is an adjective. It describes someone or something, it doesn't label them. A person driving a car illegally is an illegal driver. The word "illegal" describes the noun "driver." An illegal driver isn't an illegal. She's an illegal driver.

An illegal immigrant, similarly, is not an illegal. He is an illegal immigrant. Illegal is modifying immigrant, not labeling the person who is immigrating.

"Illegal" as a noun, is a pejorative used to intentionally label undocumented immigrants in a demeaning, dehumanizing way. Illegal as an adjective is a description of a person who does or says something specific.

"He is an illegal."
"He is an illegal immigrant."

The two carry with them entirely different moods. The first is trailer-trash ignorant uneducated talk, something bigots say when they want to remind everyone about how stupid they are, as a badge of honor or some kind of thing.
The second, while not as kind as "undocumented immigrant" is at least somewhat accurate (though asylum-seekers who are in the USA are - undocumented immigrants, but not "illegal immigrants" even though they are undocumented), and not intentionally mean, and only somewhat said out of ignorance.

you mean like saying ”he's white”......and not saying ”he's a white guy”
