The annual summer meet at Saratoga Springs Race Course brings in $237 million and about 2,600 jobs. Immigrants keep the track running and the raids that have been going on have left restaurants unstaffed. Also the raids have left the farms unmanned and has left fear with the immigrants who do have a working visa. Immigrants are a major part of this event that brings in lots of revenue. This up coming season this years Presbyterian New England Congregational Church, which is near the race track has promised to shelter undocumented immigrants. Immigrants are a major part of this event. Unfortunately there will be raids going on due to the Trump administration.
