Virginia: Gov. Tim Kaine opposes state troopers enforcing immigration laws (287g)

Posted Tue, Aug 28, 2007 at 10:26 am
From this:
Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine does not want to create a statewide partnership with federal immigration officials that would allow state agencies to identify illegal aliens and begin deportation procedures, despite calls from the state's attorney general [Republican Robert F. McDonnell] and anti-illegal-immigration groups [such as Help Save Virginia].

"The governor does not object to localities choosing to enter into localized agreements with [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement]," said Kevin Hall, Mr. Kaine's spokesman. "He has concerns, however, about asking state troopers to assume primary enforcement of federal immigration responsibilities."
Some state agencies already do some degree of reporting. Recall that two 9/11 hijackers got Virginia driver's licenses, there was at least one case of fraud at the Virginia DMV.

And, recall this absolutely idiotic Tim Kaine quote:
"I don't believe immigration is one of the top issues in Virginia if you ask Virginians... It does matter to a number of people, but compared to jobs, education, health care, transportation, it's pretty far down."

" compared to jobs, education, health care, transportation, it's pretty far down." And, of course, as we all know, immigration has NOTHING whatsoever to do with jobs, education, health care, transportation. Duh!
