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
US 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 States 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 "instate" 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.
Your Loyal Constituent,
