As he eventually pulled over he was obviously a migrant worker and not a true local. :rofl::rofl:

'Incomers' are apparently called 'transplants' in America.

You know, white non-threatening people moving from New York to Florida - or (in this context) Brits to Spain. People with a bone through their nose coming from Fuzzywuzzyland are 'inmigrantes' (poor things). They will be here to get a better life and a reasonably proper job, but like the Brits, they will be escaping an ugly, dangerous and miserable existence. The difference is that their house will be a shed or a bleak apartment rather than a nice home in the country which, through the vagaries of local politics, will be (after the last cheque cleared) found to be totally illegal and threatened with demolition.
