A similar case happened on Maui with a widely beloved coffee house, Mark Aurel's. In their case, the staff actually managed to buy the business from the owner wholesale and continues to operate it.
Regarding evil immigation: I met a woman who lived between Canada and the U.S. for twenty years, and continued to fly on a Finnish passport (her home country) because neither the U.S. nor Canada would give her citizenship.
