Oh wow, I didn’t realize there are so many other groups. I wonder why some of them choose Minnesota of all places. I know why the Hmong are there, but Minnesota seems like an odd match for some of those other groups. At least it’s a new life experience and a change of scenery!
Minnesota has a huge immigrant population and still has the second-highest rate on the map, so maybe not.
They’re Hmong immigrants though, who are eager to assimilate into American culture, and are mostly 1st and 2nd generation Americans now.
In 2020, about 8% of Minnesotans were foreign-born

I did not include the whole chart.
I am only pushing back on the implication about the immigrants in Minnesota being only Hmong. I have no idea about literacy in any of those countries.
