Four of Virginia’s public universities – Virginia Tech, Radford, ODU, and George Mason University, permit the admission of illegal aliens. About half of the Commonwealth’s community college permit admission as well. This is a practice that should end according to Del. Christopher Peace (R-Hanover).

“I think it’s stunning,” Del. Christopher K. Peace, R-Hanover, said
of the information, compiled at his request, on schools that admit
illegal immigrants.

“Why can’t we [admit] someone who’s legal from out-of-state?”
instead of undocumented immigrants, Peace said. “[The schools are] not
losing revenue but they’re also not endorsing a practice that’s in
violation of our national interest.”
