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.

If it says “fact check”, it’s probably a lie.

Not this time. They admitted it is true but claimed it “needs context”.

Which in this case not all illegals can become police, only some,...

Why shouldn’t they? It worked out good for Miami when they hired the boat lift guys as Policemen. They will be selling drugs and 10 year old girls from their Patrol Cars. And they will be emptying the tills of convenience stores regularly to prevent them from getting full.

In Chicago that’s doing the jobs that citizens don’t want.

Before I saw this, I was going to make a joke that they would give citizenship to illegals if they agreed to become policeman.

Same as what the military used to do and hopes to do in the future.

It is a well worn path for decaying elites in declining Empires to bring in foreign mercenaries when the heritage population will no longer serve them as they demand.

They admitted it is true but claimed it “needs context”.

When an MSM fact checker states that a conservative claim "needs context," this means "Totally true and the evidence is indisputable."

How can they go into court and testify against anyone when they are illegal aliens to begin with? And how can they possess a firearm?

Maybe buddy Ron D can answer for you, since he is a lawyer. He knows allthe tricks making exceptions for things he wants. Like allowing illegals in and moving them around to other states he likely will love giving them guns and jobs once president.

I believe the ones who would qualify would be DACA or Temporarily Protected Status.

TPS is at the discretion of the Homeland Security Director, so potentially every country in the world could be designated.

Illegal is illegal. They have no business working in law enforcement. If they hurt an American citizen, regardless of the circumstances, they should be charged, convicted, jailed, and deported. If an American dies, they should be executed.

It’s on the Chicago PD website…. A green card or similar is all that’s needed.

To pull that comment a bit farther, if an ILLEGAL immigrant is a police officer and is killed by an AMERICAN CITIZEN, has said citizen committed a crime?

Since an ILLEGAL immigrant has in effect broken into this country, similar to a common criminal breaking into your home, wouldn’t the Castle Doctrine apply???
