Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has ruled that law-enforcement officers in Virginia may ask the immigration status of anyone stopped or arrested, which mirrors the Arizona law that has liberals foaming at the mouth:
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli issued the legal opinion Friday extending that authority to Virginia police in response to an inquiry over whether his state could mirror the policies passed into law in Arizona.
“It is my opinion that Virginia law enforcement officers, including conservation officers may, like Arizona police officers, inquire into the immigration status of persons stopped or arrested,” he wrote.
Cuccinelli’s action is pretty much a big “half of the victory sign” gesture to the federal judge who ruled against Arizona last week:
The decision comes after a federal judge blocked Arizona from implementing its provision that would require law enforcement to check the immigration status of anyone they stop and suspect of being an illegal immigrant.
Will Obama sue Virginia, or will he let it off the hook like he did Rhode Island? Will the pro-illegal immigration and open-borders zealots begin boycotting Civil War battle reenactments at Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg?
