Miyares: Fairfax County Puts Criminals First  "America is a nation of immigrants predicated upon the rule of law. As a first-generation American and attorney general for the Commonwealth of Virginia, I am grateful and mindful of both on a daily basis.   Public safety rests on the faithful application of federal and state law. Our Constitution vests broad immigration authority at the federal level while reserving authority over state crimes to state and local prosecutors. In the case of illegal immigrant Denis Romero, this partnership was sacrificed to an extreme political ideology that victimized Virginians and continues to place our communities at risk.   The unsettling reality in Fairfax County is that local residents are being actively put in jeopardy by the reckless policies of Sheriff Stacey Ann Kincaid and Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano, not just because the two of them cannot separate their ideology from reality. Their insistence on being social workers rather than law enforcement professionals, combined with their refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, is actively hurting real people."
