Virginia’s two Democratic senators have requested federal funding totaling $1.5 million for CASA Inc., a nonprofit organization that specializes in helping illegal migrants find work and advocating for looser immigration laws.

Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner each disclosed requests for $1.5 million in public funds to support CASA in disclosures filed on May 15. CASA maintains a program that connects employers with prospective employees in the D.C. metropolitan area regardless of their immigration status, according to press reports and the organization’s website. Kaine and Warner’s funding requests indicate that they are seeking to help CASA expand its “capacity for workforce development,” indicating that the funds could go toward the nonprofit’s migrant work placement programs.
