Virginia Republicans yesterday said they will push five proposals next year in the General Assembly aimed at illegal aliens.
The measures would require sheriffs to confirm an arrested person's legal status in the United States through the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement database and every jail to have a person certified to detain illegals during the deportation process. Republicans also want to make a federal conviction for hiring illegals grounds for suspension of a business license, bar people from attending state universities unless they have a valid student visa and make them ineligible for bail.
