    VA Republicans Announce Strong Agenda On Illegals

    VA Republicans Announce Strong Agenda On Illegals

    House Speaker William Howell, Senate Majority Leader Walter Stosch, Senator Jay O’Brien and Delegate David Albo announced a tremendous legislative package for the General Assembly to combat the presence of illegal aliens in the Commonwealth. If this agenda passes, which it almost certainly will, and the Governor signs these bills, Virginia will be among the states that have the toughest policies to combat illegal immigration. This is great news, although waiting for the next session of the General Assembly for this action is going to be awfully hard.

    Here are the proposals announced so far:

    Prince William County Policy Goes Statewide:
    Mandating that all local Sheriffs, upon a lawful arrest for a crime, confirm that person’s legal presence in the United States using the nationwide databases of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This change will streamline and strengthen statewide immigration enforcement.

    Statewide Section 287(g) Program Enrollment
    Ensuring that at least one person on duty in every jail at all times has been certified under federal 287(g) authority (named for the section of federal law that allows more effective cooperation between federal immigration officials and state and local governments). This change means that, upon a positive identification of an illegal alien, there will be a person with federal authority readily available to detain and begin deportation proceedings, after that individual has served his or her sentence.

    No Bail For Illegal Aliens
    Creating a presumption of no bail for any person who has been charged with an offense punishable by jail or prison time and who has been determined (through ICE databases) to be illegally present in the United States. This change will help stop controversial “catch and releaseâ€

    This is great, but we need to get the Governor to sign-off on it. Let's put some pressure on him to make our views known.
