Arrested

Would you be willing to be arrested by a police officer that is not a citizen of the United States?  The Denver Sheriff Department will have to pay $10,000 and change its hiring policy because they exclude job candidates that are not U.S. citizens.  The good ole Justice Department has determined that the Sheriff Department violated law by requiring deputy sheriff applicants to be citizens and posted job ads with the requirement.

It seems that police departments can impose restrictions if they are the result of state law or government mandate, but not internal policies.  The candidates must have a work permit.

Over 40 states do have laws to allow hiring of citizens only, but that means there are those that don’t.  Ain’t that wonderful?

If it is okay for illegal immigrants to vote, then it must be okay for them to be police officers.  How will you know if you are arrested by such an officer.

The first clue will be they don’t speak English.
