I hope a bunch of right wing nuts renounce their citizenship. They will find out getting it back isn't all that easy. There is a huge difference between getting your citizenship as foreign born immigrant the first time and getting it back after you have renounce it. The second is much harder as it should be. Some people who did that during the Vietnam War found that out. |

Becoming Illegal (Actual letter from a British Columbia resident and sent to the PM)
The Honorable Steven Harper
Parliment Buildings
Ottawa, Ontario.
Canada
Dear Prime Minister Harper
As a native Canadian and excellent customer of Revenue Canada, I am writing to ask for your assistance.
I have contacted the Department of Immigration 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 Canadian 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 Canada 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-province' tuition rates for many colleges throughout Canada 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.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder????????
Your Loyal Constituent ,
So we have a fake American version of a Fake Canadian letter about a law that was never passed in either country and was misrepresented in any case.
I don't know how long it took you to find your link, but it took me about ten minutes to find mine. The really sad part is that I had to go through several pages of right wing blogs treating this as if it were gospel.
