Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, D., signed a bill into law that allows non-U.S. citizens to become police officers in the state, angering critics who slammed the idea of foreigners arresting American citizens as "a fundamentally bad idea."
Illinois House Bill 3751 will no longer require U.S. citizenship as a qualification to become a police officer in the state. The bill was signed by the Democrat governor on Friday and will go into effect on January 1, 2024, despite facing heavy opposition from GOP lawmakers and prominent police groups.
The bill "provides that an individual who is not a citizen but is legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law is authorized to apply for the position of police officer, subject to all requirements and limitations, other than citizenship, to which other applicants are subject," HB3751 reads, adding that non-U.S. citizens must be able to obtain, carry, purchase, or otherwise possess a firearm under federal law to apply for the job

Hessians. Another form of Hessians. Foreign mercs.

Now think of them dropping the yoke of the state on you.
As long as you don’t mind being pulled over by a foreign fruit picker or nail driver, I guess it will be okay. Just make sure someone in your family can act as a translator.
Boba Fett is going to get smoked.
democrats hate white people and want us dead. They do not care how.

This seems to cause some type of federal legal issue...
Sounds like Prickster wants to hire drug cartel members as police, among whose duties would be busting drug cartel members. So, would they have to arrest themselves?
Enemy combatants. Arm them and they are targets, or should be, to American citizens.
It will be interesting to see how well these foreigners fare, when they are sent to the South side of Chicago to meet up with the Pygmy cannibals.

Where the Posse Comitatus law prevents them from being used as ordinary police.
DACA can become Police Officers.???
BUT here is the Truth from Washington D C Lawyers:::: How can someone enforce our laws as a law enforcement officer who violated them when they either entered or remained in our country illegally?
A law enforcement officer generally has to take an oath to uphold our constitution and our laws. If the individual is an illegal alien, he/she cannot take that oath.
DACA recipients are not on a pathway to citizenship. Their deportation has merely been deferred and DACA can be revoked at anytime making them deportable.
If an individual is an illegal alien there is no way to definitively determine who that individual is because they were not vetted or admitted into the country.
Standards should not be changed because more police are needed ...would you allow nurses to practice medicine because there is a shortage of doctors?
One would hope...
