Speech #930208293

Mr. President. this amendment was carefully drawn to try to exclude certain people who might be legally in this country passing through here as tourists. I do not think they have any legitimate role to play in the political process of this country. nor do illegal aliens in this country. That privilege to contribute ought to be limited to U.S. citizens and to those who have indicated their intention to live here. are here legally. and are permanent residents. Those people would be and should be allowed to make political contributions in this country. I think one statement ought to be made in response to the comment made by the Senator from Nevada.
