Governor J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) signed a bill on Friday that will allow foreign nationals in the state to become police officers.
The bill, which was opposed by some police groups, including the Fraternal Order of Police, was one of 130 bills Pritzker signed on Friday. Effective immediately, foreign nationals will now be able to become police officers in the state.
The law, HB3751, says that foreign nationals who “are legally authorized under federal law to work in the United States” or any foreign national who “is 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” can apply to become a police officer in the state.
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) condemned the bill earlier this year after it passed in the state House.
“What message does this legislation send when it allows people who do not have legal status to become the enforcers of our laws?” the group said in a statement. “This is a potential crisis of confidence in law enforcement at a time when our officers need all the public confidence they can get.”
During debate on the bill, Illinois state Sen. Chapin Rose (R) said it would be a “fundamental breach” of democracy to allow non-citizens to arrest American citizens.
“It’s just a fundamentally bad idea,” Rose said in May. “I don’t care where this individual is from. Australia — they should not be able to arrest a United States citizen on United States soil.”
Illinois has been facing shortages of police officers as the state and major metro areas like Chicago have pursued policies largely opposed by police.

Trial run.

You have to be pretty low on the scale of human dignity to want to be a cop in Chicago. I give a pass to those riding it out to their retirement.
I’m sure Iran can send some Basij...
So, they are going to get police trained in Latin American countries who remember how it was done “down South”.
Get ready for head busting on a grand scale!
Illegal aliens arresting us.
If you said it in 1970, they would have thought you were insane.
Pritzker needs to be deported. He already left the Union.
“You have to be pretty low on the scale of human dignity to want to be a cop in Chicago.”
Cartel members will be happy to take the job.
I want a glass of milk now.
This time I'm not so sure.
There’s videos of Narco enforcers skinning people alive on the internet.
Coming to America...
H1B cops. Nobody wants to work in that libtard hell hole
This makes it easier for cops to see citizens as enemies.
Am I the only one that remembers talk of Obama’s police force?...well?
Didn’t Minnesota do that? And one of the Somalis shot and killed an innocent (Australian)?
You’re exactly right. I’m sure the U.N. would be happy to send its peacekeepers in to do some policing.
The cartels will love this
Every illegal officer should be immediately targeted as a warning to others.
That’s many people’s snapping point.
