This picture has nothing to do with the post. Just liked it.
I’ve been thinking about the amnesty tax credit thing. I’ll catch you up just in case. There’s an illegal alien amnesty program being bantered around the U.S. If you’re from certain countries, you can claim amnesty to stay in the United States.
In addition, you’ll get a social security number which will give you the right to vote in U.S. elections even though you aren’t a citizen. You’ll also be allowed to collect the tax credit which is $6,000 per year. The program allows you to collect for this year plus the last 3 years for a total of $24,000 tax free.
Never one to give up twenty four thousand tax free dollars, I’ve come up with a plan. I think I should renounce my U.S. citizenship and get a new one from one of the countries included in the amnesty program. Then claim amnesty thus securing my own twenty four thousand tax free dollars.
Now I just need to decide on a country. I don’t speak Spanish which may narrow my options. And then I want to do from the comfort of my home, preferably still in my pajamas.
Yes, I am lazy and greedy. Any suggestions?
Beware, you may be required to vote and serve Jury Duty.

Your last paragraph…hey, you can still be Hispanic/Latina without knowing their language. If they can live in the US for 10+ years and not speak English, why can’t you claim you did the same in Mexico or such?
“My parents never felt it necessary to assimilate they never learned Spanish even though we lived there, and as a result, neither did their kids.” Works in reverse, so why not for your, too?
Nice picture…need all the escapism available

That’s awesome. I’ve been practicing a Spanish accent, but I sound like a cartoon character.

How about the Sultanate of Zanzibar? I always like the way that one sounded. It was probably a miserable place, but at least there was some pride of ownership when it rolled of one’s lips.

I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this, but because I am a subscriber I feel a duty to respond.
1. Getting a Social Security card does not confer citizenship nor the right to vote.
2. You have to have paid taxes to get a tax credit. The credit offsets some taxes you have already paid..
It may be beneficial to have undocumented non-criminal folks (who may be the support for American children) continue to support their dependents and pay taxes. I’m not an investigative journalist, but I do fact check suspicious assertions. http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/amnestybonus.asp

All the people coming into my country (I was an immigrant too, but nothing was free back then) had anything on the new ones. Are you kidding me? They’re better off than the poor people in our country– the ones we vowed to support FIRST.
