He’s no longer a state senator, but that isn’t keeping Virginia Attorney Ken Cuccinelli from teaming up with fellow conservative lawmakers to compile a legislative agenda on the hot topic of illegal immigration.
Cuccinelli’s office today released a statement on a meeting held last Thursday with four of Prince William County’s state delegates to “develop legislative initiatives to forward Virginia’s role in welcoming legal immigrants as well as its role in devising appropriate state-level responses to illegal immigration.”
Prince William has been a focal point in the Commonwealth on illegal immigration issues, with local leaders like Corey Stewart advocating for the state to enact laws similar to those recently passed in Arizona. Those laws, currently being challenged by the federal government, expanding the ability of state and local law enforcement to investigate the immigration status of anyone pulled over at a traffic stop. They also criminalize failure to carry documentation of legal residency in the country.
Cuccinelli, who had a conservative voting record in the state senate representing Fairfax county, recently moved to Prince William and has expressed qualified support for the Arizona laws and similar legislation being enacted in Virginia.
The attorney general’s release said the meeting was the first of several planned to address illegal immigration in the 2011 legislative session. Republican delegates Scott Lingamfelter, Bob Marshall, Jackson Miller, and Rich Anderson attended.
“I think that teaming up with the attorney general will result in a strong and effective package of legislation that will make Virginia safer,” said Lingamfelter.
“Building on past legislation, I am confident we can produce constitutional proposals to address the concerns that I am hearing from citizens and businesses in my district,” said Marshall.
Where’s the ditch? With that many blind fools attempting to take the lead, there HAS to be a deep one someplace.
