Only in America.........

A Somalian 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, giving me housing, food stamps, free medical care, and free education!"
The passerby says, "You are mistaken, Iam Mexican."The man goes on and encounters another passerby. "Thank you for having such a beautiful country here in America!"
The person says, "I not American, I Vietnamese."The new arrival walks further, and the next person he see she 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 American!"
He finally sees a nice lady and asks,"Are you an American?"
She says, "No, I am from Russia!"Puzzled, he asks her, "Where are all the Americans?"
The Russian lady checks her watch andsays..."Probably at work."
