The Virginia House of Delegates approved a bill yesterday to address illegal immigration. Other bills under consideration by the General Assembly would:·
Ban state money for social welfare programs at churches, educational programs and charities that provide services to illegal immigrants.·
Give state and local police the authority to enforce federal immigration laws.·
Make it a misdemeanor to be in Virginia illegally.·
Deny in-state tuition to illegal immigrants and prohibit them from enrolling in a state university or college.·
Establish a Commission on Immigration as an advisory commission in the executive branch to analyze the impact of immigration on the state and make recommendations on related policies in education and employment.
