With the number of coronavirus cases topping 3 million in the United States, undocumented immigrant women are struggling with the disease given their legal status. In part one of our series Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush takes a look at how the virus has impacted their employment in Delaware where many work in the poultry processing plants, interviewing a number of women from Guatemala about their lives. We had interviewing and translation assistance from Charito Calvachi-Mateyko for this feature.
