Kaine rips federal immigration enforcement
Kaine rips federal immigration enforcement

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine decried as "outrageous" this morning that local and states governments have to pick up the enforcement of immigration law because of a "real bankruptcy at the federal level."
Speaking on WTOP-FM radio in Washington, Kaine blasted the federal government for its failure to tackle the hot-button topic of immigration, which many believe will emerge as an issue in this fall's legislative elections.
"It's an outrage that the federal government has basically had a consensus that the existing immigration laws don't work, won't enforce them, won't come up with a set of laws that they are willing to enforce," Kaine said.
"It's outrageous that this issue keeps getting pushed off on cities and counties and states because it's not a good issue to have a patchwork of a million different sets of regulations."
Kaine's comments came as the Commission on Immigration was to hold its first meeting and another meeting was taking place of a Virginia State Crime Commission task force on the effects of illegal immigration on the criminal justice system.
