Illinois bill would allow illegal aliens to become police officers

Democrats in the Illinois House and Senate recently passed a new law, Bill 3751, to allow some work-eligible non-U.S. citizens to work as police officers across the state.

Even though federal law prohibits non-U.S. citizens from working in law enforcement, Illinois is bucking the rules by trying to make it easier for illegal aliens to enforce the law, which is ironic considering they broke the law to get here in the first place.

The legislation “Reinserts the provisions of the engrossed bill and adds that an individual against whom immigration action has been deferred by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process is allowed to apply for the position of police officer, deputy sheriff, or special policeman, subject to specified requirements. Effective January 1, 2024.”

Billionaire Gov. J.B. Pritzker has yet to sign Bill 3751 into law – not because he does not want to mind, you, but because federal law (18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(5)(A)) prohibits illegal aliens from possessing firearms, which is a bit of a problem if they are going to be hired on as police officers in Illinois.

Can you imagine, as a legal American citizen, being arrested by an illegal alien who doesn’t even legally belong here?

Sponsors of Bill 3751 claim that it is the only logical next step now that illegal aliens can join the military as well as become health care workers. Soon there will be illegal alien politicians and even an illegal alien president – unless we already had one since Barack Hussein Obama was allegedly born in Kenya (or was it Indonesia?).

Opponents of Bill 3751 rightfully pointed out that the bill is heinous in that it would grant illegal aliens – who are here illegally, just to emphasize that point – the legal right to arrest legal U.S. citizens. In what kind of clown world does such a ridiculous scenario make sense?

“Why on earth would we (pass this law)?” asked state Sen. Chapin Rose (R-Mahomet) during a debate on the bill back in May. “The most important power of any government, the most important power that must be conferred, with absolute concern for how it is employed and how it can be abused, is the power to arrest.”

“We listen every day in this building to debates about the police powers of the State of Illinois and yet here we are conferring the police power, the ability to arrest a citizen of the State of Illinois or frankly a visitor to Illinois from anywhere else in the United States of America, an American citizen, to a non-citizen?”

To allow illegal aliens the power to arrest legal citizens is a “fundamental breach of democracy,” Rose further added, further noting that it is “antithetical to the police power of any state and quite frankly … to everything that I hear from the other side of the aisle every day in this building.”

What Rose meant by that, of course, is that leftists supposedly hate the police and want them to be defunded and stripped of their legal authority – except when it is illegal aliens being granted the legal authority to arrest American citizens, apparently.

It is almost as if leftists want to destroy everything and invert it while contradicting themselves on matters such as this depending on who is doing the arresting and who is being arrested. It is almost as if the left hates actual Americans, especially the white ones, and wants to wreak as much havoc as possible on conservative, law-abiding citizens.

The illegal alien takeover of America is accelerating, thanks to the corrupt political uniparty class. Learn more at InvasionUSA.news.
