Diverse Ethics

The reviews are in on the Marshalltown Immigration Summit...and they're mixed.

Oops. Better make that mixed diverse.

That travesty of a newspaper, Marshalltown Times-Republican is first...

Conversation is diverse at immigration summit
Paul Gregoire, vice president of global human resources at Fisher Controls...said of raids such as the one at Swift & Co., that some companies probably bring it on themselves, while some do not.

Still, he echoed what others during the morning had said: Iowa is going to be losing much of its work force in the coming years, making it imperative that the country accept and train and keep workers, regardless of how it happens.
Regardless of how it happens, eh?

How is that any different than a guy keeping the money from a wallet he found on the street?

It's a good thing he isn't in charge of ethics at Fisher Controls.

Outside of that little exciting piece of info, the rest of the story was pretty boring. Strangely, the Marshalltown version didn't include some of the diversity of the Des Moines Register's version...

Immigration expert: Raids to continue
Marcy Forman, director of investigations, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told the group...

"We're still going to enforce the law," Forman said. "Yes, it will continue. People will see raids on small, medium and large companies who are egregious immigration law violators."

Paul Gregoire, vice president of global human resources for the Fisher Division of Emerson Process Management in Marshalltown, said the raids have made area employers nervous.

"My company in this area is working very hard to integrate the Hispanic population into our work force. The Swift (raid) threw a wrench into this," he said.
Good. That "wrench" is the flashlight of ethics shining on your antics.
