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.

They did a piece about this on the news. A very common practice. The interpreters get paid for passing the test for them. Scary huh?

Liberal "compassion" gone wild.
