=== Immigration ===
Since the 1960s, Minnesota's immigrant population has been shaped by its status as a major area for refugee resettlement. As of 2018, Minnesota had the largest refugee population per capita of any state, with 2% of the country's population but 13% of its refugees.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Press |first=Bob Shaw {{!}} Pioneer |date=2018-01-13 |title=Minnesota has the most refugees per capita in the U.S. Will that continue? |url=https://www.twincities.com/2018/01/13/the-not-so-welcome-mat-minnesota-winces-at-refugee-cutbacks/ |access-date=2024-01-24 |website=Twin Cities |language=en-US}}</ref> The largest groups of refugees over the past decades have been Hmongs, Somalis, Ethiopians, and Vietnamese; other major refugee groups that have recently been settling in Minnesota include Burmese, Liberians, Ecuadorians, Congolese, Russians, and Ukrainians.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Decker |first=Julia |date=2023-12-15 |title=Asylum saves lives.
