Police departments hiring immigrants as officers

Alan Gomez, USA TODAY 2:56 p.m. EDT March 21, 2015

Law enforcement agencies struggling to fill their ranks or connect with their increasingly diverse populations are turning to immigrants to fill the gap.

Most agencies in the country require officers or deputies to be U.S. citizens, but some are allowing immigrants who are legally in the country to wear the badge. From Hawaii to Vermont, agencies are allowing green-card holders and legal immigrants with work permits to join their ranks.

Well, they have good example set by DHS/TSA, don’t they?

It is ironic that so many TSA agents are likely those whom their own countries would not consider desirable, so they come here to the land of plenty giving rectal exams to real citizens who just want to go somewhere.
