What a Deal!!

I love all people of different ethnic groups.

 I appreciate the differences in cultures and see the beauty of each person as a soul with potential until the day they die. I appreciate the traditions they have brought to this country and feel it is on the backs of these people that this country was built. 

America is a wonderful land that has welcomed, sheltered and harbored those repressed, enslaved and endangered by those in power directed by greed. I do not want to keep anyone out and I am willing to live with less so that others in need are comfortable!!! (I am hoping you will teach me how to make authentic naan and tamales though cause those are so yummy!)

But this, THIS is ridiculously unfair;

Becoming Illegal

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 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 only 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 2008 and 2009.

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.

Your Loyal Constituent, (hoping to reach 'illegal alien' status rather than just a bonafide citizen of the USA )

I am looking forward to hearing your opinions on this but I will not tolerate racial slurs, hate filled writings or non-factual accusations.

God Bless America, even those who choose not to believe in Him.

Peace and Prosperity,
