Once again this year, it fascinates me how eager our legislators are to enforce federal immigration laws that the feds are unwilling or unable to enforce. Why, we must ask, are these federal regulations not enforced by the feds? Only when we understand the answer to that question can we then answer the question of whether it is a good idea to build the Virginia Code on the foundation of the broken immigration system.
In what way are these people a threat to society??.. It offends me to see how these anti-immigrant laws just feed the stubborn ignorance of people, who don't know or understand what they judge.
