I heard this on the radio going to work an overtime shift yesterday and tracked it down for this thread. 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 appreciative. Thank you for your assistance.

LOL. I love the irony of this.
how exactly do you get preferential treatment on your university / grad school apps as an illegal?
LOL.
Bookmarking.
Beautiful!

BTTT
I'd kind of like to know that myself.
It all depends on the state. For instance right now my wife is attending nursing school where there are a number of ... uh .... hispanic students. It is now required by the state that all nursing students learn "Medical Spanish" the better they are at it the higher their grade but non-hispanics can not the graded as fluent in Spanish because they are not hispanic. The Hispanics are also given certain equal opportunity grants for their tuition and books. They are also moved to the head of the line for entrance into certain programs and classes that are harder to get into because of small size. The list goes on and on. All mandated by the state.
Another way to get preferential treatment is to claim that your gay, and still keep citizen status, although claiming to be a gay illegal alien would be like winning the lottery.
