    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["People think estrangement is a final state, unchangeable and totalizing. For that reason, some also see it as the easy way out: Being in a relationship with someone — anyone — is inherently messy. Severing the tie cleans things up once and for all. I wish it was that simple, that static. It’s not. Estrangement, for me, has been an ever-shifting constellation of regrets and loyalties and, yes, joys."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Scholars often write about the harm that's done when children become caretakers, but they're reluctant to do so when it comes to immigrants. For us, they say, this situation is cultural. Because we grow up in tight-knit families. Because we respect our elders. In fact, it's just the means of living that's available to us. It's a survival mechanism, a mutual-aid society at the family level. There is culture, and then there is adaptation to precarity and surveillance."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["The federal government rejected Pletcher's request for 50 H-2B visas, a critical part of the workforce he employs to care for the 100 thoroughbreds he brings to Saratoga Springs every year. The rejection came after the number of applications for H-2B visas far exceeded the federal cap, leaving hundreds of employers without staff to perform jobs that few Americans want. It is a problem that is impacting hotel operators, landscapers and the horse racing industry. For the handful of horse trainers who missed out, it could be a blow to thoroughbred racing."]]></description>

This year, the Presbyterian New England Congregational Church, which is near the fabled nine-furlong race track, has promised to shelter undocumented migrants from immigration agents in defiance of President Donald Trump’s rhetoric against so-called "sanctuary cities."

2. The raids have left restaurants short staffed and farms unmanned, but mysteriously spared undocumented workers at the race track, according to the Times-Union. Still, renowned trainer Gary Contessa told Newsweek that his workers are fearful, even though they are in the country legally ...]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[1. "The politicians think there’s a workforce waiting to come here if we pay them enough money," Bravo said. "But the American worker is not looking for manual labor. They don’t want these jobs."

2. "Jesus Escalante Martinez said there was concern on the other side of the border, too. A 20-year veteran of the Rhone stable, his P-1 visa — reserved for professional athletes — assured he could work at Canterbury as an exercise rider this season. But his son Alejandro is among many co-workers who needed an H-2B visa, and they had some anxious moments while waiting for their documents to be approved."

3. "Trainers and grooms said there are few undocumented workers at Canterbury Park. The track has a reputation for tough enforcement of immigration law — earned in part by raids conducted during its early years — and Minnesota’s licensing requirements for track workers are considered strict. Applicants are fingerprinted and must undergo criminal background checks."

4. "Trainers are in survival mode right now. Without a workable visa program, it’s going to challenge their ability to stay in business."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Baldemar Bahena's journey toward the American dream started as a teenager on the backside of tracks. When he left Mexico on a visa, he spoke a little English but had a knack with horses.

More than 30 years later, Bahena oversees dozens of workers as Romans' top assistant. Bahena and his wife became U.S. citizens and they settled into a four-bedroom home in Louisville. Their two teenage children are college bound.

"He's a great American success story," Romans said of his friend.

But Bahena, 49, worries the door of opportunity may be closing behind him for other immigrant workers toiling at racetracks in search of a better life for their families.

"They're good people," he said. "They're working hard all the time. They're kind of scared."

Bahena voted for Trump because of the Republican's business background, and said he holds out hope the new president will make things better.

"I tell everybody, just chill out a little bit and I think in another year or something, it'll be all right," he said. "I think he's going to change his mind because he's a real, real good businessman, and he's going to figure it out that these people are good people."]]></description>

No one at the track could recall a raid or any other enforcement action related to immigration on the grounds themselves, but all agreed the threat is increasingly acute as they prepare for the sport’s marquee race. Trainers say they would prefer to hire legally, but faced with a deficit of American applicants or legal visa-holders, they have no choice but to accept people willing to work jobs that require long hours and pay between $10 and $15 an hour."]]></description>

A visa program that serves the racing industry poorly plus a dearth of US employees willing to do the sport’s grunt work – the grooming, the exercise-riding and the hot-walking of racehorses – has long left racing heavily reliant upon undocumented workers from Mexico and elsewhere in Central and South America. But now, the recent spate of raids by immigration agents and threats to pull federal funding to sanctuary cities has many US racetracks and horse-farms rattled."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>jnchapel</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Like many in the horse industry, Stewart relies on foreign workers, usually here through the federal H-2B visa program, to take care of his horses. But the guest worker program is capped at 66,000 non-agricultural unskilled workers a year for all sectors nationally. For fiscal year 2011, which began in October, more than 35,600 petitions for spots have already been filed. The number of applications routinely bumps up against the number allowed, leaving employers scrambling for labor sources."]]></description>
