"Just In: Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed a law that will allow illegal immigrants to become police officers and sheriffs deputies. In Illinois American citizens will be arrested by illegals.

Once this takes effect, people who are actively breaking federal law will be arresting Americans if they break they law. This madness from the democrat party is absolutely out of control."

Is anyone actually ok with this?

Non-citizens. Nothing about illegal immigrants. Why are you misrepresenting this?

Per the bill:

…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.

I don't see anything terribly controversial about this.

Referring to it as "illegal aliens" is misleading (making it sound like someone's sneaking across the border on Monday, and getting a badge on Friday)...that's not what this is.

This is non-citizens who are authorized to work in the US being allowed to apply for a particular job in addition to the thousands of other jobs we allow non-citizens with work permits/work visas to apply for.

They'll still have to pass all of the same background checks and training requirements as every other police officer would.

Illegal immigrants are non-citizens
But not all non-citizens are illegal immigrants.

There are non-citizens who are here legally on work visas.

I’m sure you also know this, but non-citizen does not equal illegal. That fact doesn’t have the same shock value for your post though. Show me where they are allowing illegal immigrants to apply.

The bill stipulates that the non citizens must be legally authorized to work in the US, that excludes illegal immigrants.

Non-citizens should not be arresting Americans. Common sense
They are expected to follow the laws so what is the problem with also enforcing them?

Dropping the illegal immigrant claim without comment?

Mainstream media dropped the term "illegal immigrant" and replaced it with"undocumented migrant". Which proves Democrats are all for open borders.

1. Non-citizens. Not illegal aliens.

2. Why would anybody care one way or the other? For all of me, make it a pathway to citizenship.

There has been a mass migration of illegals crossing the southern border ever since Biden took over. How are all these millions upon millions of illegal aliens surviving ???

Simple, they are now called "non-citizens" instead of illegal aliens.

So I'll take that as you acknowledging that your comment about "illegal immigrants" was misleading and you're withdrawing it?

Secondly, why is that "common sense"? You'll need to quantify that.

Is a person who's here legally on a work visa, is physically fit, trained, and passed a background check (and who knows, maybe even worked in law enforcement in their country before applying for a visa and coming here?) not qualified apprehend & detain a person who's robbing a Chicago Walgreens?

Which is irrelevant, the bill only concerns legal immigrants.

The people in question are neither illegal nor undocumented. These are people who applied for a work visa and came here legally.

Seems like some straws are being grasped at...

Non-citizens doesn’t mean illegal. My family on my mothers side were non-citizens who were in the country legally who eventually became citizens. Heck, some of them served in the US military as non-citizens.

First they dropped the term "illegal aliens". Now they are dropping the term "undocumented migrants". They are calling illegal aliens "migrants".

What's the difference between a "migrant" and a "non-citizen" ???

When borders are wide open there is no such thing as illegal aliens. They are now called "migrants" or "non-citizens".
