The Democratic Party has recently come under scrutiny due to its involvement with La Machine Consulting and Antonia Valdovinos. Valdovinos, a DACA recipient, owns the company and is not a legal citizen of the United States. Despite this, the Democrats have paid La Machine Consulting a total of $500,000 for work in the 2022 midterms.
The arrangement has been met with criticism from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as it is not a usual practice for political campaigns to hire companies whose owners are not legally present. According to Chuck Ross of the Free Beacon, Valdovinos openly identifies himself as a “dreamer,” which has caused the FEC to question the legitimacy of the arrangement.
The Democrats’ involvement with La Machine Consulting has been met with backlash, as it is not in line with usual practices and regulations. It remains to be seen whether or not any action will be taken against the Democratic Party for their involvement with the company.
From Ross’s report:
“Democrats paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a consulting firm operated by an illegal alien, which experts say may have violated campaign finance laws.
Antonio Valdovinos, the owner of the Arizona-based La Machine Consulting, has made his status as a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient central to his personal narrative. He boasts of his “undocumented” status on his firm’s website and produced an off-Broadway musical,”¡Americano!,” about life as a “Dreamer.” Valdovinos’s immigration status could cause a problem for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which paid his firm, La Machine Consulting, $500,000 to canvas in three battleground states ahead of the 2022 midterm election.”
So my question stands—Is the FEC just going to turn a blind eye as Democrats use campaign funds to hire an illegal alien for their campaign services? My guess is, yes but we will have to wait and see.
Hopefully, the new Republican majority will add this to their growing stack of investigations.
