Thanks to Rich Miller for the column clarifying the recent Illinois law allowing legal immigrants to work in law enforcement. When the bill was signed, U.S. Rep. Mary Miller immediately tweeted the lie that “Illegal immigrants will now be allowed to arrest legal citizens in our state.”
First, a civics lesson. The Illinois House and Senate passed this bill allowing legal immigrants with the legal ability to own guns to be eligible to become law enforcement officers. Therefore it is not a “Pritzker bill.”
