Two university researchers on Friday addressed the Hispanic population boom in the Southeast and how municipalities are dealing with issues related to the population influx.
The talk, titled “Being Brown in Dixie: Latino Immigration to the New South,” was held at The Hotel at Auburn University and Dixon Conference Center as part of AU’s two-day symposium “Becoming Alabama: Immigration and Migration in a Deep South State.”
Paul Harris, an associate director for the Auburn University Honors College, said the Southeast’s Hispanic population grew from 670,000 to 1.9 million in the 1990s and continued to grow over the past decade.
