A number of Hmong refugees were settled in Wisconsin. We have had a few problems with them, but not to this degree. I think it's because most were settled in small towns or rural areas. The Hmong culture was one of farming and work with your hands. The USA was a big change and many of the young have alienation problems.

I think the gang thing is bigger in Minneapolis and out in CA. The big cities are hard on the Hmong as it puts extra stress on their changing ways and culture.

Shouldn't be. The Hmong immigrants are given separated classrooms and teachers for learning, Section 8, welfare, food stamps, SSI; all of their literature in Hmong, legal aid for discrimination and Hmong outreach programs.

The neo immigrants have much more than our old immigrants ever did.
