Talk about your dinner theater! What could be more entertaining than the thought of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton sitting down to break bread with someone who’s in the country illegally.
It’s not an impossibility if you read the eligibility rules for the “Dinner With Hillary” contest carefully.

Did you notice it? It’s in the third from the last sentence, which specifies that entrants need to be “U.S. citizens or — big or — residents of the 50 states, DC or Puerto Rico.” As Patrick Howley of the Daily Caller observes, there is no qualification placed on residency, such as “legal residents” or “lawful permanent U.S. residents.”
The eligibility rules also specify in boldface that “no purchase, payment, or contribution is necessary to win,” although it might be argued that getting nabbed by ICE after a well-publicized meeting with the high-visibility Clinton is a pretty steep price, especially if the dinner guest is deported.
