"Virginia is for lovers..." - unless you're an immigrant?

The official motto/slogan for the Commonwealth is "Virginia is for lovers."

But in General Assembly, "[t]he number of immigration bills in the 60-day legislative session is the highest in recent years and, some lawmakers say, is more than the total addressing any other topic, including the abusive-driving fees and mental health reform.

House members have introduced more than 100 immigration bills; senators had filed about 25 as of Friday, the deadline for legislators to file bills for the season."
