Your Papers Please
I got this email from my, soon to be, new employer. Not that I'm changing jobs, I'm not, I'll be sitting at the same desk I've been at for the last 16 years. But the person administering the payroll is changing so
technically I am changing employers.
Larry & ***
Although we don't know the date yet (soon) of your transfer to ***, we need a couple of things from you. ***, we need a copy of your social security card. Larry, we need a copy of both your drivers license and social security cardAh yes, life in the "
New and Improved Land of the Free".
Your papers please. You say, "Larry, aren't you over reacting? I mean really, it doesn't sound like much does it?"
Well...
I do not have a copy of my social security card. To get a replacement Social Security card you need a passport, nope don't have one of those, or a certified copy of a birth certificate, nope don't have one of those either. Actually I'm pretty sure I don't really exist under the Homeland Security laws of the New Amerikan Reich. I will endeavor to obtain the appropriate documents to prove that I exist,
if I do exist, and that is not certain at this point. Once I have obtained them, or failed to do so, I will then send them to my employer so I can be
allowed to continue to work by the omniscient and all powerful and infinitely benevolent
Dear Leader George II, or perhaps I'll simply vanish in a poof of smoke..
All of this so immigrants don't squeal about being singled out. Bah!
Hail Bush!
Sieg Heil!
