Why is this bad, exactly? Political leaders in the US undertake actions and policies that can affect the entire world, esp. in regards to military action, so why wouldn't some people abroad want to donate to a campaign? Also, given that there are several million non-citizen residents of the US, they deserve just as much input into the political process of the society they are a part of.
- glomph 14y agoIts bad if the law states that it isn't allowed and the other candidates are following this law.
- king_jester 14y agoWell, the legality of a thing doesn't determine whether or not it is desirable. Why do you feel that non citizens donating to a campaign is bad outside of legality?
- gentschev 14y agoBecause it's not their government, and it opens a very large door to foreign governments trying to influence elections. Really, this is a question?
