Dry cleaners, too. I used to do billing for a laundry/dry cleaners supply company that catered to 4 states. I noticed a large percentage of owners of these cleaners were ME-erners.
Sometimes one would run their bill up high, then skip the country (or something) and a "brother" or "cousin" would take over the business and start the process all over again.
You want to talk about barrels of toxic chemicals?? We definitely had them.
. . .the 'or something' usually corresponds to the owner opening a new drycleaner across town, making room for the 'cousin' et al, to take over the existing shop. Many of these ME's are Pakistani and are here enjoying the freedom's this country offers. . .and they are not necessarily Muslims. . .
That said, I don't know how you tell the difference between the good intentioned from the bad; but think certain ME nationalities are more suspect overall.
While we figure it out, do think we should just be saying 'NO' to ME immigration; period.
