Arlington County Board member Walter Tejada said that it’s unlikely Virginia would pass legislation granting in-state tuition rates to illegal immigrants, at least with Republicans filling the state’s top offices.

Tejada, speaking Friday on WAMU’s Kojo Nnamdi Show, pointed to Gov. Bob McDonnell, Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling and a Republican majority in the House of Delegates as a combined hurdle to passing legislation similar to that adopted by the Maryland General Assembly.
