Originally part of Spain in Texas, then Mexico after independence, later claimed by the Republic of Texas, and finally incorporated into the United States after the Mexican American War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, El Paso stayed in the same physical place while the border shifted around it. This is one of those hidden Texas history stories

In this episode, I sit down with El Paso historian Caleb Lara and ask a question most people never think to ask… or are afraid to ask: How did the KKK come to El Paso? This isn’t about shock value. It’s about understanding the forces that shaped our city—good, bad, and ugly. We talk about the social climate of the time, the fear-based movements that gained traction, and how misinformation and power dynam

El Paso didn’t become Mexican by immigration — it was born into it. Long before Texas existed, this city was part of Paso del Norte, and when borders shifted, families and culture stayed.
