Greyhound tells riders of rights when Border Patrol comes on board

[3Hotdogs]

5. I am Caucasian, (white for you freeper lurkers) and it was 1964. I was 20 y.o.

I got off the old grey dog in Indios, Ca. and was scruffy from a 2 day's ride.

A border agent approached and demanded, "Immigration papers." I was stunned. We don't have that shit in New Jersey. I didn't know what to do.

Agent: "Papeles de immigracion !"

Me: ----

Kid behind me with whom I had a conversation while traveling: "Well sir, we don't rightly give immigration papers to Yankees comin' into Mississippi." (I'll never forget that quote.)

Agent: "Where are you from?"

Me: "New Jersey.: (New Jersey 'broadcast' accent)

Agent: "O.K., move on."

The point is, I was taken aback and a little bit frightened, even though the interaction was not aimed at me.
