The article begins with a hard-news lede, giving the reader the who, what, and where, informing readers about Virginia's tough immigration policies softening a bit as they strive to help newcomers assimilate more easily. The next paragraph provides background information about how immigrants can be helped.
The nut graf follows, illustrating to readers that the economic crisis was a big factor in beginning to help immigrants become more comfortable adjusting to life in America.
The following paragraphs present information on recommendations to assist immigrants, as well as pointing out the years spent by Virginia addressing the issue on immigration and now realizing how important it is, especially because voters did not list it as a top issue in Virginia this year.
A representative of immigrant groups provides effective quotes to show the importance of cracking down on helping immigrants, and contrasting statements from members of Virginia's Immigration Commission make the article interesting to read because of that bit of ABAB format. The article concludes with a quote from a commission member who comments on past efforts to fix immigration policies that failed.
