To hell with diversity, the Hmong are out of place, it's time to go back home. And they have fared far better here than white Wisconsins would have in southeast Asia. Think of all the social benefits and welfare the Hmong have received....

I happen to know and work with many Hmong people. I think on the whole, they have done a damn fine job of assimilation into American society. Much better than many of the Mexicans. They have been a benefit to our country.

Ditto that. I've had the honor of knowing many elderly Hmong gentlemen who fought for our side in Laos -- and risked not only their lives, but their families lives to rescue downed American pilots -- and several terrific young Hmong men who are currently serving over in the sandbox in the Army and Marines, and I would gladly trade any number of loudmouthed ignorant Texans to get a few more Americans like those Hmong.
