Is this even legal? Democrats are holding three fundraisers in a foreign country next month (Mexico). The three Democrat fundraisers in Mexico are with American expatriates. I wonder if Robert Francis O’Rourke will be in attendance.

With approximately 1.5 million American citizens residing in Mexico, per State Department figures, the trio of events could prove lucrative at a time when the DNC is being significantly outraised by the Republican National Committee (RNC). For the month of June, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show the RNC raised $20.8 million, spent $14.3 million and had $43.5 million in cash on hand, while its Democrat counterpart only took in $8.5 million, spent $7.5 million and had $9.3 million in cash in the bank. However, the DNC also had $5.7 million in debt.
Perez has previously courted the support of Democrats living abroad, having delivered a speech in London in April 2018.
