Dear John,
California passed a bill that went into effect this month allowing illegal immigrants who acquire work permits to apply for, train, and become police officers!
The bill cleverly describes these newly eligible ‘candidates’ as non-citizens.
Shockingly, it was the University of California Police Department that first brought this request to law makers as a creative solution to their staffing issues.
State Senator Nancy Skinner, author of Senate Bill 960, seized on this and publicly stated that this bill would not include ‘undocumented workers’ spinning the truth with her crafty messaging.
To make things perfectly clear, Skinner said this in no way applies to undocumented workers. She said a person has to have full legal work authorization, under federal law; people who pay taxes and have every ability to work legally in the U.S.
That qualifies nearly every detained adult that the Border Patrol has been forced to escort and set free to wander our country.
Most states only restrict eligibility to those who have been charged and convicted with a felony. However, Federal Law only charges aliens who cross illegally with a minor misdemeanor and small fine, again proving a pathway for massive employment hiring of illegal non-citizens to police US citizens.
We can’t have folks policing our neighborhoods with no working knowledge of our country’s history, values, and culture. Policing is about community and only members of our communities should qualify for this high calling!
The most alarming concerns about opening law enforcement eligibility to illegal aliens that have already proven they do not respect our laws and sovereignty include:
