Virginians don't care about illegal immigration?

Diggers Realm has an interesting post, saying, "Virginia Governor Tim Kaine Says Virginians Don't Care About Illegal Immigration".

Just days after his rebuttal for the Democrats on the State of the Union address, Virginia Governor Tim "eyebrow" Kaine has come out and said that Virginians don't care about illegal immigration and illegal aliens. Sighting there being "a better way" for the President to handle immigration reform, this seems to suggest his "better way" would be to ignore it totally and just allow illegals to continue flooding into the US.

Washington Times

There may be more than 40 immigration-related bills in the works this year in Richmond, but all that attention in the General Assembly on illegal aliens is misdirected, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine said yesterday.

"I don't believe immigration is one of the top issues in Virginia if you ask Virginians," the Democratic governor said at a breakfast meeting with Washington reporters at the District's St. Regis Hotel. "It does matter to a number of people, but compared to jobs, education, health care, transportation, it's pretty far down."

Of course jobs, education, health care and transportation issues can be directly tied to illegal aliens. From lowering of wages to increased class sizes and direction taken away for non-English speakers to closing of emergency rooms and taxpayers footing the bill for uninsured illegal aliens to transportation costs due to increases in population, I'd say immigration has a lot to do with all the issues Tim Kaine mentioned above.

I'll just call him ignorant.

Well said.
