    Default Forms are going fast- sign up today!

    I got this in an email...

    Becoming Illegal (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
    t axes 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 ver y 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,

    Whew Tom, no argument there, where do I sign up? Immigration is one of those things I've been hoping we'd hear more of this season, but I think it got derailed by distractions elsewhere. Maybe they'll rediscover the issue before November, I hope so anyway.

    You only get the free trip to Mexico if you;

    1) Look too much like your from the Middle East.
    2) Don't have enough padding for the wallet.
    3) Made two lefts in the dark instead of staying straight.
    My thoughts of future market events are strictly my gut feelings and have nothing
    to do with actual knowledge or experience concerning the Stock Market or Investing.
