The bill was sponsored by Republicans. The gov is a Democrat.

Note this does NOT apply to students. However, children of military pay out of state tuition rates to schools like William and Mary, the University of Virginia, and Virginia Tech.

The legislation … applies only to illegal immigrants 19 and older. Immigrants of any age still will be eligible for emergency aid, such as disaster relief and pregnancy tests.

Well it is a start! Keep up the momentum.

Not only that but Gov. Warner has gotten a lot of favorable press for signing this piece of popular legislation. Maybe the Republicans could gather a clue and figure out that this issue plays well with voters.

Gov. Warner had little choice but to sign this bill seeing as the Republican dominated Virginia legislature passed it with a VETO PROOF MAJORITY.

In the recent past, Gov. Warner has vetoed some other good anti-illegal alien legislation including not giving them instate college tuition.

So Illegal immigrants won't be getting unemployment and Workman's comp?
Good.

Hmm I always thought W&M was a private school.

It's a step in the right direction though. This trash is just obvious stuff. You didn't pay for it so you can't use it. At this rate we are better of just paying Mexico's income tax (or whatever they do) as well as the American.

Eventhough we passed prop 200 in Az, the democrat Gov and democrat AG here have refused to enforce it. Tancredo for president.

Richmond ping.

Our doofus governor gets one right for a change.

So, if someone applies for aid and it is determined that they are not in the country legally are they deported?

Disgusting.

There was a good article about this -- I think it was a letter to the editor in the Richmond Times-Dispatch -- just the other day.

Those schools want to be among the elite. They tax me in order to get there, then they deny admission to my neighborhood children in favor of others.

It would be better if the schools that do this were privatized. That way they can do what they want without making me pay for it.

I may need to go walk my dog so I can vomit.
