Seattle has become the latest Dem-run city trying to replace an exodus of police officers with illegal migrants.
Washington's largest city has just 913 cops to serve its 750,000 people after losing 725 officers in the last five years.
Now its police department has tweaked the rules to allow applications from migrants who crossed the border illegally as children and are registered on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), or 'Dreamers', program.
And under a law change signed by Democrat Governor Jay Inslee in February they can be chosen above an equally qualified candidate if they speak more than one language.
Radio host Jason Rantz tells NewsNation's Morning in America, 'I think if you have anyone who is qualified and willing to do the job, including qualified Americans who speak another language, they should be treated just as equally as everybody else.'
'So each person who shows up for an interview has to admit to committing a felony,' one retired officer wrote on X. 'A federal trial should take place prior to any hiring I would assume?'
More than 500,000 people in the US registered under the Obama-era DACA program before it was rescinded by Donald Trump in 2017.
While they are allowed to work in the US under a renewable two-year work permit, restrictions on carrying firearms had previously barred them from police work.
But in a memo last year the Justice Department stated that 'DACA recipients can possess duty firearms and possess ammunition as part of their official law enforcement officer duties'.
Seattle Police previously restricted applications to those who 'hold a United States citizenship, OR have legal permanent residency in the US,' but updated its LinkedIn page last week.
'The Seattle Police Department is now accepting applications from DACA recipients,' it reads.

Not so sure about that. There was plenty of crime in Chicago before him, and wouldn’t have been as much if it weren’t for prohibition.
Why do so many on this forum not realize that we are being colonized and subjugated?
There is effectively no law in these Democrat-controlled areas. Only the latest orders from the rulers. Illegal aliens appointed as police officers will enforce those orders.
That was always the plan behind "defund the police". It was about replacing police with a more compliant group that would follow orders without questions.
A nice side gig for the new officers will be shaking down white middle-class residents for imaginary violations and collecting fines on the spot in cash. That is the way third-world police forces work.
As the endings go in so many Russian stories - "then things got worse".
DACA recipients can possess duty firearms and possess ammunition as part of their official law enforcement officer duties.
Cartels gain and holding ground.
Rape and murder stats not released?.
Most of this crap began with that scumbag LBJ.
La Ciudad Juarez 2.0
Not only is the left insane, it’s stupid too.
The left can’t wait to replace Americans with third-worlders.
PS. Who thinks that these illegal cops are going to become honest, hard-working, devoted law enforcement officials?
How many think they will goof off, muck up, steal and brutalize citizens?
I thought so.
Or Jean Lafitte to fight the British at New Orleans?
Seattle is hiring illegal criminal felons to “protect” their city, after defunding their police.
they ultimately want people with no historical relation to this once proud country to rule and control us....
we worry about the cops and military being on the side of the people now, just wait till their ranks are filled with people that have no relationship with us...
“...they can be chosen above an equally qualified candidate if they speak more than one language.”
Yeah, “non-English 1” and “non-English 2”.
Felons in police uniforms and armed with firearms. Makes a lot of sense.
Wouldn’t need pigs in a White state.
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with General Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
Sheer genius. Giving folks a literal view of hell so they live in such a way as to avoid going there. If they still don’t get it, they are beyond help.
