I saw Obama's press conference on TV today with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Curiously, towards the end of it, Obama thanked those Canadians that crossed the border to work on his campaign.
Is that legal? I'm a Canadian citizen living in the U.S. (and I do NOT have dual citizenship) who pays my taxes to the U.S. government and as far as I know I am not allowed to contribute monitarily to candidates or campaigns in the U.S. (I say this because every time I get a phone soliticitation during campaigns asking for money that as soon as I tell them I am a foreign national and not a U.S. citizen, it abruptly ends the call). I'm probably allowed to volunteer my time (stuffing envelopes, etc.) but I'm not even sure about that. But are non-residents, non- citizens allowed to do that? 'Cause if they aren't then Obama today thanked foreign visitors to the U.S. for participating in illegal activities (and before Bongo Brazil goes postal on me, hey, I'm just asking...I do NOT know the rules!)
