Gov. Warner did very well with the driver's license bill, not as well with the tuition bill. Let's hope the legislature will fix the tuition bill.

What sorts of "certain documented cases" merit exceptions?

This exception recognizes that there are some young people who came to America with their parents when they were very young and who are in a position to become legal residents of the United States. ... It is only fair that this narrowly targeted group of students, whose parents paid Virginia income taxes, have the chance to receive in-state tuition," he said.(Gov. Warner)

Attorney General Jerry W. Kilgore disagreed and encouraged lawmakers to reject the amendments in a statement released yesterday.

The Attorney General has this one right.

I'm guessing cases like this one:

Student who thought he was a citizen caught in deportation proceedings

"When all this happened, everyone advised me not to go down to the INS and not to be honest," Hitesh Tolani said. "I've never regretted it. Now if I have to leave, I'm going to leave feeling loved, and that has made the honesty worth it every bit."
