Attorney Moona Shakil on ABC 7 News- AG: Police Can Ask for Immigration Status:
Virginia's top prosecutor has made a bold statement in the debate over immigration. He says police investigating criminal cases can ask the people they stop about their immigration status. The attorney general issued his opinion in response to a request from Republican Delegate Bob Marshall of Prince William County, who has introduced a bill like Arizona's, requiring police to ask anyone detained for proof of citizenship if they are suspected of being illegal. But it's a power the attorney general says police already have. Police have the authority to ask for proof of citizenship from anyone stopped for even minor infractions, including jay walking or parking violations.
In the opinion, issued Friday, Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli ruled: "Virginia law enforcement officers have the authority to make the same inquiries as those contemplated by the new Arizona law." Many Virginians support the state's right to crack down. "I think the federal government has chosen not to enforce its own laws and under those circumstances I think the states have every right to try to solve the problem as best they can," said Paul Burgess of Fredericksburg.
Alexandria resident Lydia Stone volunteers as an interpreter for illegal immigrants and says Virginians should want them living in the state. Stone said, "I think people ought to look and see the work the immigrants are doing and their family values."
Northern Virginia attorney Moona Shakil specializes in immigration law and thinks the new Virginia opinion, like the Arizona law, could also be overturned in court. But for now she worries it will have a chilling effect on any illegal immigrants working with law enforcement.
"I think the biggest problem will come in with people who are victims and who then do get afraid to report," said Shakil.
Hispanic groups are already criticizing the opinion. The National Council of La Raza told ABC 7 that they believe it is simply politics as usual. They said that the Virginia ruling will only lead to racial profiling and not a workable solution to the immigration problem. We also asked Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell for his comments about the opinion from the attorney general but the governor did not have a statement on this issue.
