on Thursday, Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan offered to to work with the federal government to continue Minnesota's history of welcoming refugees by assisting with the resettlement of people fleeing Afghanistan.
"Minnesota has a strong tradition of welcoming those who seek refuge and supporting them to rebuild their lives and become part of our communities," their letter said. "Minnesota is eager to uphold that tradition by welcoming families and children and providing the stable foundation they need to rebuild their lives, achieve their highest potential, and contribute to our state."

takeover, with desperate crowds thronging Kabul's airport.
Minnesota is already home to some of the largest Hmong, Somali and Liberian communities in the U.S., as well as a small Afghan community. The state has also drawn significant numbers of refugees in recent decades from Myanmar, Æthiopia, Bhutan, Iraq, Vietnam, Cambodia, Bosnia and the former Soviet Union.
"New Minnesotans strengthen our communities and contribute to the social fabric of our state," Walz and Flanagan wrote. "They are our neighbors."
