I don't know how many times I have brought this up but: Foreign citizens cannot lobby our Congress unless they follow the proper channels. That goes for those who represent or advocate for them. All illegal aliens, including the DREAM act students, are, under the law, "foreign principals" and before they can contact Congress, or be represented by someone, there needs to be registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. For example, the students, since they are not legally admitted constituents, must either register themselves or have an agent who is registered. Moreover, they should not be calling themselves "constituents" which is very misleading. Only US citizens and lawful permanent residents have representation in the US Congress.

The law is not designed to prevent any foreign lobbying (since we do the same thing in other countries). It is designed to ensure that it goes through the proper channels.

We need to raise this point with Congressmen, and also with the legal counsel for both parties. The phone numbers below will take a message for the legal counsel of each Party.
