HIGHGATE, Vt.—At dawn or dusk, Kristy Brow used to enjoy alone time walking in the woods on her 21-acre property in Highgate, Vermont, a small rural town near the U.S.–Canada border.
Lately, however, she’s cautious—she’s worried about potential encounters with illegal immigrants along the remote logging trail.
“I don’t go out by myself anymore—especially at night,” said Mrs. Brow, who runs a dog obedience business from her home.
“It’s unsettling. You can’t feel relaxed anymore,” she said. “You want to be safe in your own house and on your property.
“It’s getting bad. Sometimes, you see them on the interstate, looking for a ride.”
Mrs. Brow and her husband are both avid hunters and have deer stands set up on their property. Their game cameras often record illegal immigrants passing through.
The illegal immigrants travel alone or in small groups, discarding unwanted belongings as they trudge further south into Vermont, headed for destinations unknown.
