“The 2,000 immigrant workers on Vermont dairy farms have always had a risky job. Many of the dairy workers are here illegally, and they can be deported if caught by federal authorities.
But now the farmers who hire them are also worried. Federal officials have vowed to crack down on employers who knowingly hire illegal labor.
VPR’s John Dillon has this report:
(Dillon) The milking is over by late morning at the Dodd farm in Sheldon in Franklin County. But there are still cows to be moved and corn to be chopped. All this work takes many hands. And Richard Dodd was two men short after an early morning raid by the U-S Border Patrol.”*
