Note that they present this as people from overseas influencing our elections. Yes...and no.
The FEC also defines "foreign nationals" as
>An individual who is: (1) not a citizen of the United States and (2) not lawfully admitted for permanent residence (as defined in 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(20)); >or
>A foreign principal, as defined in 22 U.S.C. § 611(b). Section 611(b) defines a foreign principal as a foreign government or political party; or a partnership, association, corporation, organization, or other combination of persons organized under the laws of a foreign country or whose principal place of business is in a foreign country.

So they are giving carte blanche for illegal immigrants to actively influence our elections.
