Virginia has the same laws as the rest of the country regarding traffic law enforcement. What you are saying about enforcement may be absolutely correct in theory. However, I would guess that in practice, the effort put into actually apprehending the scofflaws in other states is about the same. It takes time and effort to actually go and serve a warrant or arrest someone for failing to pay a traffic ticket.
I’m not sure if any other state has actually done an analysis like this one in Virginia. I have a feeling that the results would be eye-opening.
My point is that if so little effort is actually expended to go after people whose names and addresses we actually know, there is going to be a lot less effort to go after illegal aliens, especially when the press and a lot of the politicians are actually in favor of legalizing them to make them voters.

It’s really pretty simple. I know this is how it works in Washington because that is what happened to a guy I know there. He has been driving without a valid license for years because of this.
That's kind of an apples and broccoli comparison. What Virginia does to enforce its traffic laws is likely not comparable to the way that other states enforce THEIR traffic laws.
And, while I understand your point, traffic law enforcement and illegal aliens are extremely different issues. Traffice law enforcement is controlled by police and the courts and illegal aliens are more the domain of the political elites.
