Just
as in Mexico, Salem now suffers from numerous Taxi service businesses. We also enjoy an over abundance of limo services and I suspect that as usual a good number of them as the taxis
services
are involved with the sex trades where cash is preferred and mum is the word.
Most are using older and
dirty Chrysler minivans and I know some
to be single-car operators where the drivers take their own calls. It’s also common to see drivers smoking in their
taxis with or without fares on board.
And I
have seen one operator doing his own brake repair work
on the parking lot of a dumpy motel
where he resides in Mexalem.
In the past ten years I have watched as our once neat, clean andwell behaved city has steadily degraded itself into a Third World level society. Most of that change has been brought about by
the
influx of Illegal Aliens who have become the majority in several areas of town where Mexican style culture and morals are usual.
