I'll put what's irking me more plainly, is the leading but unspoken presumption that the riders at this level, in the US, working for the leading trainers and owners are all here on a visa (if that, "if he has one"
if they're originally from a Latin American country.
I can't find confirmation but I'm going to bet Junior Alvarado is naturalized (Citizen Bull's rider Martin Garcia is). And not just because of the family Alvarado has established here (wife and three kids), his long-running career or home on Long Island. Would I think any of that makes him safe in the current climate? Not necessarily.
Are a lot of them here on a visa (P or O typically), sure. All of them? No.
But again, thank you for the additional context regarding visas and the TSF administration.
