ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

As a founding member of State Legislators for Legal Immigration, I am committed to passing legislation that removes the economic incentives that fuel illegal immigration.

Legal immigrants began their story in the United States with respect for our laws. Illegal aliens have begun their history with us in an unlawful way. Those who choose to break additional laws by stealing identities, dealing drugs, joining criminal gangs, driving without a license or committing fraud must receive prompt justice.

In 2008, we passed legislation to ensure that the Commonwealth of Virginia and contractors doing business with the Commonwealth verify the legal status of all new employees.

I will work to maintain our policy of reserving in-state tuition at public colleges and universities for those who are citizens and legal residents of Virginia.

Most localities have rules about how many unrelated persons can live in the same house. In 2007, I passed legislation to allow counties and cities to investigate and penalize illegal boarding houses.

I have also supported legislation to require proof of identity when voting and to provide a means to remove non-citizens from the voter rolls.
