Not that I would ever choose the lifestyle i.e. spend 1 day less than 6
months (183 days), in the US every year, but snowbirds are classified as
tourists.

Do tourists in any US state pay road use taxes?  

However, like other tourists, snowbirds do pay hotel/condo rental, grocery,
gas, entertainment, restaurant expenses. Most tourist businesses in the US
love the snowbirds.

Are you saying the US (and specifically, Florida) do not want tourist $'s? 

Btw, just to clarify - Canada closed the border for ALL US land/ferry
traffic (no exceptions) during this past year's peak covid period (March -
July?). In addition, the US extended its land border closure to Canada until
the end of Sept/21.
