Yesterday, the Senate Education and Health Committee of the Virginia legislature chaired by Republican H. Russell Potts, killed HB2910.

The bill

“Provides that persons who are unlawfully present in the country may not be admitted to any public institution of higher education in Virginia.”

Earlier this month, HB2910 passed the house by a significant vote of 67-28.

What happened??

I guess we would have to ask the 5 Republican and 7 Democrat Senators who voted to suspend the bill indefinitely:

Committee Chairman Senator Potts is looking to run for Governor of Virginia. He believes that denying higher education to illegal aliens is tantamount to denying them the American Dream.

If he continues to champion illegal aliens instead of Virginians, Governor Potts may prove to be a dream too…and nothing more.
