Hopefully this hasn't been said yet. I went to college with an Indian guy. His father (and some other investors) owned 3 motels near Harrisburg PA. I asked him how his dad who came here dirt poor could afford to buy motels. He said that his dad (and 2 other Indian friends) borrowed the money at a good rate from Indians that were already established in the U.S. Once they paid off the loan they bought two more. I'm sure it is the same for stores and gas stations they own and operate. They reach back and help each other out.
