Republicans are concerned that non US Citizens are corrupting our elections by voting in them, and they want to make that more illegal than it already is. It is already illegal for non citizens to vote in federal elections, and it is also illegal for them to donate to campaigns.
Non citizens voting in our elections is not the problem, the problem is campaign and PAC contributions made by corporate entities. These are easy conduits for foreign interests wishing to influence our elections. To the foreign interest, what does it matter than they can't cast their measly one vote in an election, when they can pump thousands of dollars into the campaign of their choice? The money is untraceable when laundered properly through a willing PAC or corporation.
