Let’s call Spanberger the “Mamdani of the South”. Perfect metaphor – and it will not just stick but grow over time.
We can say “Government is the problem”
That statement has to start with;
our legislators are asleep at the wheel.
Examples;
• HB836
Public schools; right to free public elementary and secondary education; discrimination based on immigration status prohibited; requirements; civil cause of action.
Committee Referral Pending
More info
Introduced by: Rasoul
Summary As Introduced:
Public schools; right to free public elementary and secondary education; discrimination based on immigration status prohibited; requirements; civil cause of action. Prohibits any child in the Commonwealth from being denied a free public education through secondary school on the basis of the actual or perceived immigration or citizenship status of the child or the child’s parents…
• HB440
Driver’s licenses; repeals suspension for nonpayment of child support and unsatisfied judgements.
In Committee
More info
Introduced by: Mehta
Summary As Introduced:
Suspension of driver’s licenses; child support and certain unsatisfied judgements; repealed. Repeals the suspension of driver’s licenses for nonpayment of child support and certain unsatisfied judgements.
NOTE BELOW
1) A driver privilege card is a driver’s license for non-US citizens. It gives Virginia residents who are not citizens the opportunity to be a legal driver, without requiring proof of legal presence or U.S. citizenship.
This is a special driver’s license for immigrants (documented & undocumented).
2)Honorable Delegate Rasoul has specifically added “immigrant” to his legislation (HB836 above).
With these special designation in legislation (HB836) combined with Va. Code § 46.2-328.3 it dictates that Honorable Delegate Mehta amend HB440 so as to include immigrants (as done with HB836) , to also add the suspension of the drivers license privilege card for immigrants.
I can’t help but believe that the Honorable Delegate to apply equitable enforcement within child support obligations and penalties applied to all residents of Virginia.
At this point Virginia cannot pass legislation that penalizes just some of its residents for lack of parental and financial responsibilities to children.
MS Jeanine,
My apologies for busting up the Sunday funnies but we cannot let our Representatives be the joke. We must lead them in the equitable distribution of reason, responsibility and validity.
As of January 2026, following the November 2025 elections and any subsequent special elections/special swearings-in (e.g., in early 2026), the Virginia House of Delegates has a record-high number of female members, with 42–43 women serving among the 100 delegates (sources vary slightly on the exact count due to timing of updates, but recent reports indicate 42 women holding seats, representing a significant increase).

Sincerely,
