    In 2020, about 8% of Minnesotans were foreign-born

    Page includes a chart: IMMIGRANT GROUPSORT DESCENDING POPULATION
    All immigrants 470,387
    Burmese immigrants 12,480
    Canadian immigrants 11,179
    Chinese immigrants 17,746
    Ecuadorian immigrants 6,703
    Ethiopian immigrants 22,453
    Filipino immigrants 9,936
    German immigrants 6,811
    Guatemalan immigrants 6,619
    Hmong immigrants 29,034

    I did not include the whole chart.

    I am only pushing back on the implication about the immigrants in Minnesota being only Hmong. I have no idea about literacy in any of those countries.

      Oh wow, I didn’t realize there are so many other groups. I wonder why some of them choose Minnesota of all places. I know why the Hmong are there, but Minnesota seems like an odd match for some of those other groups. At least it’s a new life experience and a change of scenery!
