May saw a significant jump in retail and restaurant sales, according to the Census Bureau. On Twitter, President Trump celebrated the reported 17.7% increase over April as the “biggest one-month increase of ALL TIME.”

However, that spike in sales mostly missed the Bellis Fair mall in Bellingham, Washington. The mall’s core was closed by Jay Inslee, Washington state’s Democratic governor, and stayed closed until June 8. Unfortunately, if the mall were open, a good percentage of regular customers would have been barred from entry. Why? Because they couldn’t get into the country.
