"I Say A It's No Fun Bein' An Illegal Alien"

I was in a good mood yesterday. I saw some trees starting to show signs of getting green, the sun came out, it was pleasantly mild, I was going to pick up the kids, I was happy for obvious reasons, things were good. Well things still are good, stuff like I’m about to mention wont wreck that, I still appreciate the springtime and the good, but my happiness was interrupted at about 3:25 yesterday.

I stopped behind 3 or 4 cars that had stopped for a school bus. About 3 seconds after I stopped, I got smacked in the ass end by a minivan. “Ok,” I said, “these things happen. You’re not hurt and the kids aren’t in the car.” I got out, nobody else was hurt, so I look at my car. Cosmetic damage, probably about 2K, best guess.

There are 2 guys in the other car, from Mexico. They ask me what we’re supposed to do. Red Flag. I say “we get the police to take a report.” They look at each other. Red Flag. I call the police and about 20 minutes later a car arrives. Cop looks at them, looks at me, takes me to the front of my car and says, “what happened?” I tell him just like above, you can see the impact point about 15 feet back from where I pulled off, clear cut. He takes my license and tells me to stay in from of the car. He goes to these guys, the passenger has no ID, the driver has a Mexican Passport and nothing else from what I can gather. The cop goes back to his car for about 10 minutes, gets out and asks this guy for his birthdate, goes back to the car. Gets out 5 minutes later and says, “how long have you been here?” Guy says something and the cop says “ well you have no NYS license, you have suspensions on whatever this is, are there any warrants out for you?” Then he turns to the other guy and says, “ you better be who you say you are, you’re both illegally here, and you had best call somebody to come and pick up this vehicle, because you are not going home tonight.” At this time a State Police car pulls up and the two officers confer about some stuff. The cop come up to me and gives me a card and case number, say I might as well go because they would be there for a few hours.

I call the insurance company this morning, no big deal, no fault, won’t affect me in any way, but it affects all of us because these guys probably don’t have shit for any sort of coverage and it will come out of the uninsured fund. I actually felt bad for the dude for a minute, but nah.. Up his!

So this douchebag will hopefully get sent back to his country and then he can apply to come here like he is supposed to. Me, I have a scratched up car, but I’m cool. Six months ago--- I would have tore his throat out, but… I’ll roll with it.
