The two homes owned by Hmong in our block look like junkyards as well. They have a tendency to also want to park their cars on what was once a lawn.

From what I understand, the Hmong need to come into our century, and it's not been a successful transition with the large number of people deposited here at one time.

The problem was that Lutheran Services brought them to the US and essentially dumped them. When the men, who all lived in one house, insisted on cars (after LS spent extra on getting them a house on a bus line), LS bought them cars without any thought as to whether they could drive. The Hmong would take an interpreter who knew the answers to the driving test with them to the DMV so they were guaranteed to pass the written test.

One thing that completely flummoxed them was the idea that you couldn't drink and drive. They were getting busted constantly and LS was sending lawyers to get them out of the ticket.

There were 10 men in the house, 14 cars in the backyard and only one official driver. At no point did LS ever think to investigate. It was insane.

You don't need to be Hmong to do that... Ever been to Alabama? Georgia? Tennessee? ....
