Bills dealing with illegal immigrants fare poorly – Virginia
Tagged: Richmond, VirginiaPosted on: March 6th, 2007“Virginia General Assembly members introduced dozens of bills this year to toughen the commonwealth’s laws governing illegal immigration, but lawmakers left Richmond without sending any of them to Gov. Tim Kaine’s desk.
