New Immigration Trends
A Somali
arrives in Minneapolis as a new immigrant to the United States.
He stops the
first person he sees walking down the
street and says, "Thank you Mr.
American for letting me in this country, and giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care and free
education!"
But the
passer-by says "You are mistaken, I am Mexican".
The man goes
on and encounters another passer-by. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country
here in America!"
The person
says "I no American, I Vietnamese."
The new
arrival walks further, and the next person he sees he stops, shakes his hand
and says "Thank you for the wonderful America!"
That person
puts up his hand and says "I am from Middle East, I am not an
American!"
He finally
sees a nice lady and asks suspiciously, "Are you an American?"
She says,
"No, I am from Russia!"
So he is
puzzled, and asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
The Russian
lady looks at her watch, shrugs, and says...
"Probably
at work!"
