Vetoed: Virginia Governor Rejects Bill to Prohibit “Sanctuary City” Policies
Vetoed: Virginia Governor Rejects Bill to Prohibit “Sanctuary City” Policies
RICHMOND, Va. (March 28, 2017) – Yesterday, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would have prohibited so-called “sanctuary cities” that refuse to cooperate with enforcement of some federal immigration laws.
A coalition of 10 Republican delegates sponsored House Bill 2000 (HB2000). The legislation would have prohibited any local government from implementing sanctuary city policies.

The Zombie Bill, like racism, just won’t die.
HB2000, currently under consideration by the Senate Local Government committee of the Virginia legislature, is a zombie. It keeps resurrecting, but it’s nobody’s savior.
Or is it a vampire? Because this bill is sucking the life out of me, and so many other advocates, immigrants, and allies.
HB2000, “Sanctuary Policies Prohibited”, refuses to die - much like the racism that fuels it. The patron of the bill, Charles Poindexter (R-Glade Hill), introduced his xenophobic proyecto de ley in both chambers with an unspeakably offensive diatribe during which he consistently and constantly referred to immigrants as “bad apples”. Poindexter painted a verbal picture of immigrants as violent, careless criminals out to rape and kill law-abiding Americans. 
Where have we heard this narrative before?
Oh, right. Emmett Till. Victim of bias and racial hatred that deposited all people of color in the “rapist and murderer of nice white people” basket.
More recently, Donald Trump, so-called President of the United States. (I personally prefer the designator “Orange Occupier” as his name has become a trigger for trauma in my Mexican-American home.) Remember during the campaign when he began his run for POTUS by declaring Mexican immigrants “rapists”? I remember. It was both offensive and terrifying. Yet much of my network of self-identified “allies” advised me to ignore rather than confront that repugnant rhetoric.
Well, I’m not exactly wired to ignore anyone calling my husband, children?, friends, loved ones “rapists”. And the giddy, newly-empowered MAGA crowd did not ignore me. It wasn’t too long before I received a message referring to my 1- and 3- year-old sons as “rapist criminals”. 
People of color have been struggling to overcome this narrative and its consequences since the dawn of time - and definitely since the first Europeans set foot on this continent. Celebrated hero Christopher Columbus documented his encounters with native peoples by characterizing them as cannibals, idiots, savages, rapists. On the same pages he chronicled the forced sexual encounters (read: rape) he and his fellow explorers imbued on native women and children.
Somehow the continuum including Christopher Columbus, Emmett Till, and Donald Trump led us to Charles Poindexter and his “bad apples”. And I’ve got to say it is a pretty straight trajectory. This is exactly where we find ourselves when we refuse to confront a history of bias and vilification and violence against people of color. 
So what is in the bill, exactly? Well, here is the official description: “Provides that no locality shall adopt any ordinance, procedure, or policy that restricts the enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law.” (Legislative Information Services) 
First problem: locality. This doesn’t just refer to mayors and city councils. “Locality” includes schools, libraries, parks, hospitals. Just imagine our elementary schools becoming enforcement zones. Many public schools have written policies stating that they will not report students or parents to ICE based on immigration status. If a school were to be forced into rescinding such a statement, what might that do to parental involvement? How about children’s sense of security in the classroom?
I suppose if one classifies all of these families as savages, rapists, or “bad apples” we need not concern ourselves with the effects.
Then there is that pesky phrase at the end: “full extent permitted by federal law”. Currently there is no federal mandate for local police to take on the function of immigration enforcement. However, under the 287g program, there is the option of electing to have local police deputized with the powers and responsibilities of ICE agents. If we must enforce federal immigration laws to the fullest extent PERMITTED by federal law, that creates an underhanded mandate for all of Virginia’s local police departments to elect into participating with the 287g program.
What could possibly go wrong?
There is always the generally agreed-upon issue of our broken immigration system. Federal immigration laws are so replete with fishhooks and bear traps and non-sensical nuances and exceptions and punishments and rules that it is virtually impossible to imagine anyone having a thorough grasp of immigration policy, much less when it is not one’s area of specialization. Granted, the current administration doesn’t seem to care about nuances or exceptions; in the past week ICE has detained DACA-holders and asylum-holders. Anyone even perceived as a possible violator of immigration law - past or present - seems to be in the ever-widening target. 
I suppose Delegate Poindexter approves of casting a wide net. After all, he really wants to eject all of the “Bad apples”.
A few years ago while we were waiting on the final step of my husband’s 4-year-immigration process, I arrived home one day to a tea party flyer on my front porch. It had a hand-written note: “Deport yourself and your family or we will get rid of you.” (Thanks a lot, Romney.) I still get a chill and break out in a cold sweat remembering that note. Standing there with my infant in one hand and the note in the other, I contemplated calling the police. After all, someone was AT MY HOUSE, standing on my front porch, knowing where I lived, wishing me ill will. 
But I didn’t call. I was terrorized by that note, but even more terrified of the possible consequences my still-undocumented husband - with absolutely no criminal record - might face if the police were hanging out around our property. Anxious and afraid, we instead decided to make a hasty move to a different part of the city. I told this story for the first time with much stuttering and tears during this committee’s public hearing on the bill. Then they voted on a party line, confirming their belief that I as a US citizen with no criminal record whatsoever have no right to a trusting relationship with my local police.
Let’s be real and call this policy (and others like it) what it really is: a racist and xenophobic mandate for the perpetual persecution of people of color AND their families and communities. HB2000 isn’t about keeping anyone safe. If safety was the patron’s priority, he would perhaps consider this Washington Post article detailing the lower crime statistics in sanctuary cities. Or this study released by the CATO Institute illustrating the lower rates of crime committed by immigrants. But neither Poindexter nor any of his party-mates are interested in community safety if the community includes people of color. They are only interested in perpetuating myths of white supremacy.
Racism is this country’s zombie. Every time we think it’s dead, it returns more vile than before and just keeps walking down the same trajectory. HB2000 is our zombie bill. It keeps getting resurrected, but it’s nobody’s savior.

Deportation: Bad for Virginia's Children, Bad for Virginia’s Bottom Line
Voices within the immigration debate often speak to immediate concerns and call for immediate solutions. But charged rhetoric, as well as threatened and actual deportations, can lead to serious long-term consequences for Virginia’s children and future economy. Here’s how:
Fear of deportation and discrimination is rising in families with immigrant members.
This fear often contributes to serious forms of childhood trauma.
Trauma has been shown to clearly affect children's future productivity and ability to contribute to the economy.
With more than 1 in 5 Virginia children living with at least one immigrant parent -- and the vast majority of these children are U.S. citizens  -- the potential impact of their experiences today needs to be assessed.
Tumblr media
Many children of immigrants live in fear of their parents’ being detained, arrested, or deported. Even children with documented immigrant parents often develop the idea that the words immigrant and unauthorized are synonymous, so threats of deportation can feel just as real and frightening to them and their family. And research indicates that children who come from households where parents appear to be under threat of deportation are more likely to struggle in school, have lower literacy rates in adulthood, and have difficulty finding employment.
Deportation of parents has been shown to lead to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder among the remaining family members, and other health conditions decline as well. Additionally, median income for these households on average drops below the poverty line to $15,400 from $36,000 when a family member is deported -- adding to a host of additional challenges for children growing up in these families. And when a parent is deported, not only are the children more likely to have worse outcomes in almost all aspects of their lives and be less productive contributors to the economy as adults, but the public is hit with a secondary cost of caring for these children if they end up in the foster system at around $26,000 per year.
Tumblr media
Deportation is not the only source that contributes to trauma and impacts future productivity. Rhetoric coming from legislators and individuals can have real consequences. For example, state legislative proposals with no clear policy impact but that may send a message that immigrants are not welcome in the commonwealth (like HB1468 and HB2000) passed in the General Assembly this year, but were vetoed by the governor. Still, their introduction and the public discourse about them may have led to a rise in fear and feelings of exclusion among immigrants and the children of immigrants in our communities. Additionally, some hate watch groups have cited charged rhetoric, as well as unsubstantiated statements about the threats posed by immigrants, as contributing factors to increases in intimidation and discrimination. In fact, hate crimes towards immigrant groups have been on the rise in the United States over the last few years. When immigrant families are treated like non-members of their communities, they are much more likely to be impacted by mental illness and economic hardship, which can lead to long-term consequences for the children of those families and our communities.
The impact of deportation and threats of deportation on U.S.-citizen children was driven home by the case of Liliana Cruz Mendez, whose arrest by Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) during a routine check-in last month made state headlines. Ms. Cruz Mendez migrated from El Salvador in 2006 and has two young U.S.-born children. She was detained in May because of a driving offense from 2013 when she was pulled over for a broken taillight. Governor McAuliffe chose to pardon Cruz Mendez, but there is no assurance that this will prevent her deportation, and indeed ICE has already rejected her recent appeal. Whether or not this Virginia mother is deported, research shows the effects on her two U.S.-born children from the trauma associated with this event are likely to be highly consequential for their development and future well-being.
Deportations and discriminatory rhetoric don’t just hurt unauthorized immigrants, they hurt our families, our communities, and our state by diminishing the readiness and well-being of a large segment of our future workforce. Conversely, the integration of immigrants, especially immigrant parents, into our economy and community will pay dividends in the future. Virginia can either play the short-game, giving in to misplaced fears about immigrants, or the long-game, pushing back on non-welcoming policies and providing the best possible platform for the children of immigrants to succeed. Either way, more than one fifth of Virginia’s children live in households with immigrant parents. They will grow up, and they will be a substantial part of our state’s economy.

The Sordid History of HB2000
The sordid history of HB2000, Poindexter’s “Sanctuary Policies Prohibited” anti-immigrant bill.
This wildly unpopular bill that seeks to force local police departments into voluntary 287g agreements with federal immigration enforcement has had quite the sordid journey through the Virginia House of Delegates and now the Senate.
At approximately 7 pm on Wednesday, February 1, a text messaging storm began as the alert went out that the bill was being heard in the House Courts of Justice Criminal Law subcommittee.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
The bill was assigned to full committee, not to this subcommittee.
The bill was not on the agenda for this public meeting
The bill was passed by the subcommittee in under two minutes WITHOUT public comment.
After a public outcry, the bill was sent back to the subcommittee for a second hearing on February 3. The debacle only grew.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
1. Poindexter gave an incredibly offensive introduction during which he repeatedly referred to immigrants as “Bad apples”.
2. The public meeting was attended by a large, predominantly Latinx audience. Delegate Gilbert called Capitol Police to the hearing, asserting that a member of the public had yelled “racist!” from the back row. All recordings show that this was a false accusation.
After making it through the full House, the bill was assigned to the Senate Courts of Justice committee. This committee meets at 8 AM monday mornings, and a statewide coalition of immigrant rights advocates and organizations packed the room with protesters.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
The Senate Courts of Justice committee immediately re-referred the bill to the Local Government committee.
Local Government committee meets on Tuesday - so the following day - after adjournment. It is impossible to know what time that indicates, as adjournment can occur anytime between 1-7 pm or even later. Still, we organized and mobilized folks to show up.
The following day, Tuesday, the bill was heard in the Senate Courts of Justice committee. Again, several groups mobilized the public to attend in opposition to the bill.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
Poindexter gave the same racist diatribe about “bad apples” to introduce the bill.
The idea of “sanctuary” was completely misrepresented by all Republican committee members who spoke. They conveyed “sanctuary” as providing immunity for violent criminals rather than safety for law-abiding residents.
Two members of the public were rudely grilled and chastised by committee members Stanley and Carrico.
The bill failed to report due to a tied vote because Hanger abstained.
Following the meeting, the patron (Poindexter) came to the hallway looking for faith leaders and accused them of “personally attacking” him with Scripture references to welcoming the stranger.
A special meeting of the committee was called 2/20 at 10 AM to reconsider this bill. It was the only bill on the agenda. We have organized and mobilized immigrants and allies statewide to stand in opposition to this bill.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
After over half an hour of waiting for the committee to convene it was announced that the bill would not be heard until after the House and Senate adjourn for the day, a time that cannot be known but will be several hours later in the afternoon.
Again, the room was PACKED with people in opposition.
These obfuscatory tactics cannot stand.
***UPDATE***
About 40-50 people were able to remain or return for the delayed hearing, which did not start at 1 - it began after 4:15. So folks had to wait over 6 hours just for the hearing to begin. After a good deal of testimony - 100% in opposition - the committee voted to pass the bill on a party line.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
1. Advocates were told the wait would be around 3 hours. It was more than double that time.
2. Poindexter and his Republican colleagues continually conflated immigration and criminal law throughout the discussion. The concept of “sanctuary” was misrepresented from beginning to end.
3. Senator Favola (D) made the necessary motion to reconsider the bill. She then spoke strongly against it, joined by Senator McClellan, whose newsworthy opposition argument referenced Japanese internment camps and the genocide of native peoples by undocumented European immigrants.
4. Senator Hanger spoke against harsh and circular immigration policy, but voted for the bill anyway.
The following day the full Senate passed the bill after STILL MORE obfuscation and slick tricks.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
1. Norment (R) initially voted against the bill, forcing Lt. Gov. Northam to break the tie. 
2. After the bill was defeated, Norment changed his vote to side with his bigoted and/or spineless colleagues to pass the bill. See this article in the Roanoke Times about Norment’s penchant for slick tricks and see the *revised* history of HB2000 here. 
3. Interestingly, after we distributed the history of the bill to the committee, LIS updated their version of the bill’s history to show “assigned to subcommittee” on 2/1. This was not indicated at the original writing of this blog post on 2/20. 
4. HB2000 now awaits a veto by Gov. McAuliffe.
So there you go. The Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy labeled this bill “A Case Study in Obfuscation”. If you live in Virginia consider telling your elected officials what you think about their style of governance.
