Another brilliant idea from the Democratic Party
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is considering signing legislation into law that would allow illegal aliens, enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, to become police officers in the sanctuary state.
Democrat legislators, with a supermajority in the Illinois House and Senate, passed legislation late last month that would allow thousands of DACA illegal aliens living in the state to become police officers or deputy sheriffs.
“… an individual against whom immigration action has been deferred by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process is allowed to apply for the position of police officer, deputy sheriff, or special policeman, subject to specified requirements,” a summary of the legislation states.
The legislation has been pending before Pritzker since mid-June but he has not signed it into law. Even if Pritzker vetoes the bill, though, Democrats in both legislative chambers can override that veto with their supermajority powers.
Well, Democrats love the notion of biological males with mental illness taking positions away from biological women, so why not illegal aliens taking jobs from Americans? One big question is “would it make a difference?” At least in the big, Democrat run cities, cops are leaving in droves. They’re tending to take a very light touch with crime, because a) they’re being demonized by Democrats, and want to avoid trouble, and b) their hands have been tied by Democrats. How will the illegals perform their jobs? They’ll either act just like the current police in places like Chicago, or, they’ll be over-zealous in trying to prove themselves.
I could see them being held up as shining lights and assigned to the nice parts of Chicago which are policed well and have lower crime rates than the other areas. Will the other police stick around? And, I wonder how many will have been shown to be criminals themselves.
Will they pay homage to the law or to the Democratic Party, especially through the police unions? Many police officers across the state have refused to enforce illegal orders from the government and the Democrats. Will the illegals turn into the Democrats private police force?
The Philadelphia Police Department are over 500 officers under authorized strength, but most of Philly’s municipal departments are understaffed. If we’re not going to round up and deport the illegals, might as well let them do the jobs real Americans won’t do!
