The paper concludes that deportation will only be a viable option when the country's borders are safely secured.

From the Paper:

"To begin with, Chelyen Davis' article entitled, "State looks at dealing with immigration," is a provocative look at the dangers undocumented immigrants pose to American society. Davis begins by looking at how an illegal immigrant, driving drunk and with a prior police record, struck and killed two girls recently in Virginia Beach, sparking widespread outrage and frustration that he had not been reported to the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement service some time earlier. The outcry was sufficiently impassioned that a task force was struck within the state of Virginia to look at how local police and sheriff's offices deal with immigration laws. More than that, concerned officials, under pressure from the general public, have vowed to look closely at what the state can actually do to enforce federal immigration law and also at how illegal aliens impact the state of Virginia."
