We have heard example after example after example of citizens of other countries living in the United States who gave money. a lot of questions as to where that money came from. some apparent proof that that money was funneled into our politics through these people living in the United States from other governments. But if this law was on the books. that would not be allowed. The House overwhelmingly voted to make this commonsense reform. This clarifies not only that people cannot give money to campaigns. they cannot independently spend money to affect campaigns. something that virtually all Americans believe to be the case today. This amendment avoids the problem simply by banning all expenditures by noncitizens. H.R. 34 amended the law by banning contributions from foreign nationals. This clarifies that.
