Immigration Reform and Virginia

Illegal immigration used to be of primary concern only in parts of the nation nowhere near Virginia. That, of course, is no longer the case.

Indeed, it is now such a hot topic here that you may have found yourself wondering how the latest efforts toward immigration reform could specifically affect the Old Dominion.

We address just that question.

Guests:
Bob Dane - Communications Director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

Rev. Daniel Robayo, M.Div. -  Rector, Emmanuel Episcopal Church of Harrisonburg. Member of the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy. Member of Virginia Organizing.

Robert North Roberts, J.D., Ph.D. -  Public Policy Specialist. Author of numerous books on American politics, among them; Ethics in U.S. Government (Greenwood), The Public Integrity Wars (Praeger), Public Journalism and Political Knowledge (Rowman & Littlefield), and Encyclopedia of Presidential Campaigns (Greenwood). Professor of Political Science and Public Administration, James Madison University.

Tom Graham was Senior Producer and host of WMRA's Virginia Insight from 2006 to 2015.
