Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed more than 150 measures into law in recent days, and while most will not go into effect until next year, many will have major ramifications on the state.

    HB 3751 – Non-citizens who are legally allowed to work in the United States will now be eligible to apply to become police officers.

    This seems like a bad idea to me, but I can’t explain exactly why. Just seems like the people enforcing the law should also be a citizen of the country they’re enforcing the law in.

      They’re bound by the same laws they will enforce (probably more so than most other cops), so I don’t have a problem with it.
