- 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
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 " 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 a ppreciative.
-
- Thank you for your assistance.
