Below is an actual letter from an Iowa resident and sent to his senator: The Honorable Tom Harkin 731 Hart Senate Office Building Phone (202) 224 3254 Washington DC, 20510 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 2007 and 2008. 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) Donald Ruppert Burlington , IA |

HOLY CARP!!!

Mr. Donal Rupert seems rather poorly informed at the moment ... Mr. Donald Rupert should be advised that he can very simply become "illegal" by denouncing his citizenship while remaining inside the country. Without citizenship and without any other legal immigration status, Mr. Rupert would automatically become "illegal." I look forward to Mr. Rupert's follow-up letters and blog posts regarding his experience being "illegal" after he denounces his citizenship. |

Fair enough. Mr Donald Rupert should be advised to cross over to the Canada or Mexico and sign an oath of renunciation while appearing in person before a U.S. consular or diplomatic officer. Then sneak back into the US. See, we answered Mr. Rupert's question in a few minutes time. Now, I continue to look forward to Mr. Rupert's follow-up letters and blog posts regarding his experience being "illegal" after he does as suggested above. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

You have an uncanny knack at missing the point. |
