Fact Check: Can Illegal Immigrants Now Become Police Officers in Illinois?
Newsweek ^ | July 30, 2023 | Giulia Carbonaro

Posted on 07/31/2023 10:08:55 PM PDT by Reverend Wright

"In the state of Illinois, illegals can now become police officers. Yes, you heard that right,"Boebert tweeted on Sunday.

"People who are breaking the law by their presence here can now arrest American citizens. You know the other blue states are watching and getting ready to implement this idea as soon as they can!"

... The bill was also denounced by the Fraternal Order of Police, an organization consisting of law enforcement officers nationwide. "What message does this legislation send when it allows people who do not have legal status to become the enforcers of our laws?" the FOP asked in a statement.

Was the issue about illegals, or non-citizens?

Is this fact-check a switch from non-citizen to pretending the issue was about illegals?

CBS-”Illinois legislation would allow non-U.S. citizens to become police officers”
“Federal law states that only U.S. citizens can serve as police officers and deputies. But Illinois House Bill 3751 would change that for immigrants who are work-eligible under federal law.”

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?

But don’t forget the pressure they take off the court system. Now you no longer have deal with showing up at court, you simply negotiate the bribe at the time of the contract.

“would you allow nurses to practice medicine because there is a shortage of doctors?”

They are using the precedent of illegals working in medicine to justify this.

The Regime is importing foreign enforcers, police and military.

NEGATIVE!!

Washington D C LAWYER:: The military is a completely different animal, not even the same, and it’s no okay to try to say they are the same or even similar. The police officer is on duty for a shift and is done until the next shift. Military personnel is technically on duty 24/7 and required to be on call at all times because that is part of the enlistment which is a contract saying you belong to the US Army, Navy, etc. for X amount of years at a time.

Never. It will just get worse until this Regime totally collapses.

Every Western country. It is a race to the bottom.

Also, the bad behaviour and ideas from one spreads to another.

For example one would think that the recent problems in teh FBI, bias, corruption etc. would be a cautionary tale.

No sir. Justin Trudeau thinks it is great and wants an FBI in Canada.

“The bill’s primary sponsor, Democratic Rep. Barbara Hernandez, defended the bill saying that the measure is a “natural progression” of the federal government’s 2021 decision to allow some undocumented immigrants to become healthcare workers and military members, as reported by CBS News.”

A “fact check” has a Yes or No answer. Is it a fact, or is it false?

That’s it. This is a Fact.

newsweek used the word "all".

While Boebert's and Miller's tweets appear to be blanket statements claiming that Illinois will allow all illegal immigrants to apply...

Boebert's and Miller's tweets did not use the word all.
