Immigration in Olathe

By Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – The Pew Hispanic Center issued a new study this week documenting trends in undocumented immigration around the country. The report estimates about 10 million unauthorized immigrants are now in the US. Compared to 10 years ago, however, they are better educated and hold a wider range of jobs. KCUR's Sylvia Maria Gross talked to Latinos in Olathe about the growing immigrant community.
