Depending on who you believe, President Donald Trump and cooperative Republican officials, such as Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA), have sent 1.6 million–1.4 million illegal immigrants back to their home countries since the start of this year. This is a strong start to reversing the unprecedented flood of 5.6 million illegal immigrants invited into the country by former President Joe Biden. 

Now, however, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for governor, Abigail Spanberger, wants to reverse it again and undo the past half a year of progress. She helped enable the illegal immigrant invasion as a Congress member and now wants to prevent Virginia law officers from cooperating with federal officials to enforce immigration law. In an interview with the Virginia Mercury, Spanberger promised to rescind Youngkin’s Executive Order 47, which allows state police to work with the feds to enforce immigration law and encourages local jails to cooperate with federal deportation operations.
