I am America: Latino immigration transforms a Kansas town

"Out on the broad west Kansas prairie the tiny farm town of Ulysses is undergoing a quiet revolution.  About 15 years ago Ulysses, like many small rural communities, was slowly dying as the town's youth grew up and left, seeking greater opportunities elsewhere. Then a handful of new residents began arriving in the mostly white town: recent immigrants from Mexico and Central America. ... Today Ulysses -- population about 6,000-- is more than 50% Latino. Long-time residents could easily have become resentful over the demographic changes, but not that didn't happen in Ulysses. "It's just not a big deal," according to Mayor John Battin. "They're good neighbors. They're good people," Battin says of the new Latino community members." - CNN, Feb. 20, 2012.
