    It's a mixture of Viet Nam, Laos, and Cambodia.

    Thanks, did not know they have those types of Chinese there. Do people form the Cheese land fear and hate them like it was the 1960s?

    Jerry Brown opposed Viet Namese immigration to California in the 1970s.

    Cesar Chavez did not organize farm workers for the benefit of illegals.

    Jerry did not like any kind of illegals I guess. Cesar has one tight grip on his country and does not like USA illegals also.

    Hmong are an ethnic group in SE Asia, but many believe their roots come out of the eastern Tibet region. Their jewellery, weaving etc is simlar to Tibetans.

    During the late 18th to mid 19th centuries the Hmong moved south into northern Laos, northern Thailand and far north western Vietnam.

    During the Second Indochina war, the CIA coerced the Hmong to fight the Pathet Lao, and in 1968 the NVA in northern Laos. The Hmong had a frighting casualty rate.

    When the Pathet Lao took control of Laos in December 1975, many Hmong escaped Laos, ending up in refugee camps in Thailand, and eventually ending up in the US, France, Australia and other countries. There are still many Hmong in camps in Thailand like Bin Vinai, and are slowly being repatriated back to Laos (under duress).

    At times there is still a bit of insurgency happening between Hmong fighters and the Lao military.

    I don't appreciate the naming system for your state highways and roads.

    I do however, think that Milwaukee is one of the most underrated and great cities in the country, and I also really like a lot of your lakes.

    The Packers suck and Green Bay can go to hell. :evil:

    Have a nice day.

    Because teachers are paid way too much for the results they produce, not so with police and firefighters.
