An actual letter from an Iowa resident and sent to his Senator
Dear Senator Harkin,
As a native Iowan and excellent customer of the
Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I
have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to
determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they
referred me to you.
My primary reason for wishing to change my status from
U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stems from the bill which was
Recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted. If my
understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien
who has been in the United State s for five years, all I need to do to
become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of
the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am
anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.
Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay
taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two
years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I
can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent
result for me and my family because we paid heavy taxes in 2004
and 2005. Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using
the local emergency room as my primary health care provider.
Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant
figures I could save almost $10,000 a year.
Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would
receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications, as
well as "in-state" tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States
for my son.
Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the
burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome
car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have
college age children driving my car.
If you would provide me with an outline of the process
to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the
necessary forms, I would be most appreciative. Thank you for
your assistance.
