Trump's America: Franklin County, Iowa

Stay, Hide or Leave? Hard Choices for Immigrants in the Heartland.  (The New York Times, 8/12/2017)

The heartland is freckled with Hamptons and Ediths. In small agricultural towns that supported President Trump by 20-point margins, residents are now seeing an immigration crackdown ripple through the families that have helped revive their downtown squares and transform their economies. 

          [snip]

It [Hampton, Iowa, county seat of Franklin County] is a place where neighbors catch up at the Fareway market’s butcher counter; where the economy revolves around corn, hog confinements and egg farms, and where Latino immigrants do more and more of the work as the white population dies off or moves away. [20.5% of the population is 65 and over, compared to 15.2% nationally.]
