Perhaps Sen. Roscoe Reynolds needed to hire Yellow Dog Joe Stanley because of his image as being soft on illegal immigration since he has voted time and time again to kill any type of legislation to help with that problem. For example....
The Bill: HB 2322....
Criminal procedure; admission to bail. Adds a presumption, subject to rebuttal, against admitting to bail any person charged with a felony who is identified as being present in the United States illegally.
The Vote: Passed overwhelmingly in the House (92 to 5), it was killed in the Senate with Reynolds voting to kill it.
The Bill: HB 1618....
Immigration laws. Governor to enter into agreement with federal immigration regarding. States that it is the responsibility of the Governor to enter into an agreement with federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement that would allow the Department of State Police to enforce civil immigration laws.
The Vote: Passed in the House after Democrats tried to spike it by passing it off to committee. Killed in the Senate with Reynolds voting to kill it.
The Bill: HB 2448....
Verification of citizen status. Requires that a jailer shall reasonably attempt to verify the citizen status of certain persons who are confined in jail and that the Department of Corrections shall issue guidelines for such verifications. The bill also requires the Virginia State Bar to investigate the practice of providing legal advice to illegal immigrants and to establish related guidelines on unauthorized practice of law.
The Vote: Passed overwhelmingly in the House (90 to 6). Killed in Senate with Reynolds voting to kill it.
Reynolds also believes ILLEGAL immigrants should receive instate college tuition.
Roscoe Reynolds ... soft on illegal immigration?

The people need to vote him out. Governments exist to do its number one JOB "protecting its citizens and local government is the first line of defense. If a citizen is harmed in any way by a ILLEGAL, SUE the local government because their policies allow them to stay. SUE the employer who transported, lured, aided and abetted the ILLEGAL. "OUR" elected lawmakers must protect and educate, "OUR" families and stop selling us out for a few pieces of silver! He is a menace and obstacle to our protection rights and children educations. That's what "WE" pay taxes for!
