I was gonna mention the Cubans, but forgot and clicked. Ahh! I’ve read the Haitians have a tremendous work ethic, are successful and vote Republican.
In many East Coast cities Haitians dominate the taxi business. American blacks have been unwilling to drive taxis for decades though they used too. So compared to American blacks they have a better work ethic but they (as families) are pulling all kinds of low key welfare scams to supplement income. No enough money in the taxi biz. Sorry to disappoint but they are Democrat voters
Was talking to a friend in Boston a few days ago and he said he saw few Arabs still driving cabs. They moved into the convenience store biz....oodles of opportunities to fiddle and cheat on taxes and food stamps and more. So the Haitians now dominate the taxi business there which is also mostly off the books biz so what income are they declaring? You may have noticed that legal immigrants love cash businesses. So much for their much vaunted “entrepreneurial spirit” ——— You are paying their taxes for them.
All those nice Korean green grocers you used to see? The Korean liquor stores in LA? Cash businesses where they severely under report income. You are paying their taxes.
All those Indian motels? A mostly cash business. Plenty of latitude to cheat on taxes and employ family off the books
Muslim owned gasoline stations? Other Immigrant owned gasoline stations? All are severely under reporting income. If they ever get arrested for tax evasion they can flee back to Lebanon where they have been banking cash for years anyway
