Vermont dairy farms count on illegal immigrants

In Burlington and Middlebury, police have policies in place not to bother Hispanics about immigration issues unless they’re breaking the law.

And recognizing that the farms are vulnerable to enforcement sweeps, even Allbee is part of an emergency response team that is ready to step in and do chores if a farmer’s workers are ever hauled away on immigration charges (The team has never been used.).
