That's kind of my point. They should be settled in various places throughout the states not concentrated in a single metropolitan area.

Well, that's one way to do it. However, new arrivals to the Hmong community get most of their assistance from other Hmong people already here. There are schools to teach them English, classes in dealing with a modern US City, and other services, all run by Hmong people.
Unlike many immigrant groups, the Hmong are working hard to assimilate, and are moving out of the inner city quickly to buy homes in outlying suburbs and neighborhoods.
Many are becoming truck farmers, leasing land which was marginal. The produce here is great three months out of the year, thanks to their hard work.
This is not a community of welfare-grabbers. Assimilation is quite rapid with most Hmong.
