State lawmakers lining up on immigration bills - Virginia

By the end of the 2007 General Assembly session, the Republican-controlled Senate had successfully quashed attempts to crack down on illegal immigration.

In a compromise, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine and the legislature created a task force to study illegal immigrants’ effect on employment and education.

Then in the spring, Alfredo Ramos, an illegal immigrant, killed two teenage girls in a crash on Virginia Beach Boulevard, and another state task force, this one to study how illegal immigrants affect the criminal justice system, was created.”*
