“Marshalltown, Ia. ”” Immigration is changing the face of Marshalltown, and community leaders said Saturday that they are committed to helping the newcomers, although they hope Congress can address issues involving unauthorized workers.

About 26,000 people live in Marshalltown, and more than 3,200 are immigrants, mostly from Mexico. The immigrants primarily work in the meatpacking industry, for construction firms, and in other areas that permit entry-level employment without higher education.”
