Virginia Attorney General Bob McDonnell released a five-page letter on Wednesday calling on the government to immediately act on the growing criminal illegal immigration problem in the United States.

McDonnell is looking specifically at illegal immigrants who commit crimes in this country. He says even one crime committed by an illegal alien against a U.S. citizen is one too many.

The Attorney General wants President George Bush, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and a host of other top officials to make this issue a top priority.

In the letter he said: "It is your most fundamental obligation to the citizens of the United States to provide for their safety and security. I request that you do everything possible at the federal level to meet this obligation, including enabling and funding state and local agencies to assist you in your responsibilities."
