How stupid is Illinois and all the communists running it? I understand Americans don’t want to be cops anymore because of the vilification of them by Democrats, the media etc. But illegal aliens as police officers? This is a disaster in the making. Of course, Illinois deserves all the crap they get. They vote for lard asses like Pritzker and Brandon Johnson, they deserve all the problems they get.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker – a Democrat – signed a bill into law on Friday that would allow non-U.S. citizens to become police officers. Opponents of the bill argue that it would be “madness” to allow foreign nationals to arrest American citizens.
After passing the Illinois State House and Senate, Pritzker signed into law Illinois House Bill 3751.
According to WTVO, “Illinois’ move would allow any immigrant with legal authorization to work, or who remains in the country under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Act, to apply for the position.”
CBS News Chicago reported last month, “Federal law states that only U.S. citizens can serve as police officers and deputies.”
There has been much opposition to the bill.
Republican Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois slammed the new law allowing non-U.S. citizens to become police officers on Saturday.
“At 5 p.m. yesterday, when no one was paying attention, Pritzker signed a bill to allow illegal immigrants to become police officers, giving non-citizens the power to arrest citizens in our state,” Miller wrote on Twitter. “No sane state would allow foreign nationals to arrest their citizens, this is madness!”
