The St. Pierres have issued a statement stating all workers were hired legally:
"On April 21, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents detained several of our employees. We do not know the details or reasons at this time. We have cooperated fully with their instructions.
"Our employees were hired following the federal and state employment requirements. We remain supportive of our employees and appreciative of the valuable role they play in our community, performing essential work on our farm.
"We hope this matter is resolved quickly. Any other questions will need to be directed to US Customs and Border agents."
Moving forward, you need to be a registered user to post on this thread as clearly this is a controversial topic which really has our visitors energized.
Looks like the USA has the same problem as the UK - unscrupulous employers using migrants like slave labour. Fine them millions and get American citizens into the jobs. Don't like it, then shut down your business.
I don’t know if she’s MAGA, but she did have a huge, maskless wedding during the high of the COVID times. It’s an indicator that she leans MAGA but not necessarily proof.
But be nice. Her kid isn’t old enough to work the farm yet. What’s a person go do? Pay a person a proper wage?

Regardless. At least she's not a raging woke nutjob liberal.
I gotta say, as a non-MA6A Trump voter, I don’t like targeting migrants working on a farm. They are doing work that nobody wants to do at that wage.
Honest question - how can you be a T voter without supporting the MA6A agenda? They are synonymous with each other. It's literally the motivation for everything he does.
Honest question---how can you be a Woke voter and support the woke agenda and then lose the elecion? Losing and woke wimps are synonymous with each other. Oh wait, you lost...all good---the results are what they should've been. Never mind

Not a “nut job liberal” but does employ illegal labor. MAGA

do you really think Americans are going to do those jobs?
And if so, at what cost. You want to pay $10 a gallon for milk? Be real

I’m an independent. There were 2 choices, and I thought Trump was better than the alternative based on his first term.
Did you agree with 100% of Biden’s policies? I’m pro-marijuana, pro-choice, not religious, but believe in the first 2 amendments.
I’m all for closing the border, but the people that are already here, gainfully employed and not breaking the law should be able to stay.

Agree with most of what you say but Trump is waging a full-on assault on the 1st Amendment.
She didn't know who she hired to work on the farm?
No paperwork for taxes, social security, etc?
LOL. She just wanted cheap, off the books labor.
Usually the migrants provide fake numbers. Taxes, SS, do get taken out of their wages. Since they are using a fake SSN, it is free money to the gov't. It is not the employers responsibility to confirm it is a real number. Sometimes, the SS office might send a letter to the employer saying the number for said person is incorrect. The employee then provides another fake number and the cycle begins. This can go on for 2-3 years.
In reality, only migrants are willing to take on these 'back-breaking' jobs for minimal pay. They are not taking jobs away from any US citizen.
As long as they paid them decent wages and benefits this is a non-story. People want to work. They gave them work. Vermont dairy consumers benefit. The end.
Funny that Libertarianism is getting downvoted here.
It is my money, I want to pay a person to do a job that they want to do. The Big Government is telling me I can't do what I want to do with my own money on my own farm?
Next thing you know, they'll be telling me how to live my life!

Trump is much more likely than any Dem candidate to limit free speech. He's constantly threatening media outlets that aren't bowing down to him. And when has any Dem tried to appeal the 2nd Amendment. It's a scare tactic by the right every 4 years.
Biggest dairy farm in Vermont!! Very impressive. We all knew she was a farmer, but I missed that part. Who takes care of the cows tomorrow? government officials? There will be some very unhappy cows soon
