Older generations of Hispanics face new challenges in Emporia

Emporia residents recount long settler histories in La Colonia and the push to assimilate as new restrictions on immigration fuel protests. Phil Solis recalls his grandfather's Americanization message while Armida Martinez trains as a migrant recruiter. Police note two Latino officers amid calls for broader outreach. Heffron and Solis agree the immigrant generation will continue to adapt, with younger Hispanics already “Americanized.”
