I'm not sure where that is coming from.Josh wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2024 11:38 pmPerhaps a good place to start is to show love and respect to one’s neighbours and not discriminate based on national origin and race in hiring decisions.
In the quote that follows, that's what the employer seems to be doing. 90% of his employees are not Haitian, 10% of his employees are. He has been impressed with the quality of the Haitians he has hired -- “Our Haitian associates come to work every day. They don’t have a drug problem. They’ll stay at their machine. They’ll achieve their numbers. They are here to work. And so in general, that’s a stark difference from what we’re used to in our community.”
If this employer chooses not to discriminate based on national origin and race, it sounds like he will be very open to hiring Haitians. He has had a hard time finding reliable workers lately. He has had good experiences with Haitians.
If he hires 30 more, his workforce would then be 18% Haitian. Is that a problem? If so, why?At least one employer wishes he had double the number of Haitian employees due to their level of responsibility.

For others, the immigrants have felt like a lifeline.
“We want more jobs in our community, and in order to fill those jobs, some jobs need to be people who are not originally from here,” Jaime McGregor, who owns the manufacturing factory McGregor Metals in Springfield, told PBS.
McGregor told the outlet that about 10% of his workforce, about 30 employees, is Haitian.
“I wish I had 30 more,” he said. “Our Haitian associates come to work every day. They don’t have a drug problem. They’ll stay at their machine. They’ll achieve their numbers. They are here to work. And so in general, that’s a stark difference from what we’re used to in our community.”
He did not say he would hire only people of a specific race and nationality. He did strongly imply that he wants employees who come to work every day, don’t have a drug problem, will stay at their machine and achieve their numbers, and are here to work. And that he has had a hard time finding such workers.Josh wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2024 11:38 pmWith 20,000 Haitians moving in, I imagine he can find 30 more to hire. However, I think it’s questionable to decide to only hire people of a specific race and nationality.
