Greetings from Trump's America,: Wapello County, Iowa, where immigration helps to reverse an economic decline


Can Iowa's rising Latino population save some of its dying small towns?  (Des Moines Register, 925/2017)
“The ironic thing is a lot of the communities I deal with outside of Des Moines or Cedar Rapids-Iowa City are struggling to stay alive with a declining and aging population,” he said. “I work with the economic development groups and they all say, ‘We need workers. Where are the workers?’” 
Ottumwa [Wapello county seat] became the subject of a French documentary, “Latino: The Changing Face of America.” Documentarian Roxanne Frias of Paris said audiences worldwide have been surprised at the diversity in Iowa [reality check below], and about Frias’ take on how well it worked, after community leaders committed to incorporating schools, law enforcement and residents in the process.
Iowa ranks 6th among all states with the largest percentage of non-Hispanic whites.

Population peaked in 1950
