Letter to Senator Sarbanes: I'd Like to Change My Status From Citizen to Illegal Immigrant

The Honorable Paul S. Sarbanes 309 Hart Senate Office Building Washington DC, 20510

Dear Senator Sarbanes,

As a native Marylander and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Immigration and Naturalization Service in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you.

My reasons for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stem 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, what 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.

Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school applications.

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,

Pete McGlaughlin

Cross the border into Mexico, get a fake Mexican I.D, cross back into the USA, and show up at I.N.S, as the Mexican in town who wants to avoid paying taxes. Probably this would work.

Your source has this dated to back in July. It has been posted on Free Republic many, many times already, as a search for "sarbanes" would have shown you.

It is impossible that something first posted in July in the source you cite would not have been posted here shortly thereafter.

I'm just telling you this for your information. I don't really care how many times it has been posted, but others might. Search is your friend.

I didn't see it any of those times it was posted before, so I'm glad it was posted again.

Funny!

Isn't it illegal to pose as an illegal imigrant?

Since the liberal judiciocracy that rules America threw out the Constitution, they can make anything a crime, whenever they like.

Good idea. It will take only a few hundred like this to the airheads in Washington for them to get worried. As for doing anything about it, don't hold your breath.

I had heard that if you walk into an emergency room and claim that you are an illegal you get free healthcare. If they find out you are not really illegal, they sick "The Man" on you and its illegal.
If you are illegal, they will not turn you in.

This same thing gets posted day-in and day-out. It was probably funny back in July...........getting a bit stale now, however.

I guess I'm easily amused. I enjoyed reading it again.
