You guys, this is super cute. Anti-cop Seattle has lost at least 700 police officers since 2019 and now, since nobody wants to be a police officer there, they're moving forward with a plan to fill those positions with illegal immigrants.
Not joking. This is Not The Bee.
Yup, it's true.
Here's Seattle PD on LinkedIn:
All this time we thought Seattle was going to defund the police. Instead, they scared away all the good officers with their anti-cop sentiment and vaccine mandates and now Seattle PD is offering police work to illegal immigrants, better known as criminals.
The city of Seattle is looking to fill the depleted ranks of its police department with migrants who as children entered the country illegally …
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, oftentimes known as 'Dreamers,' are migrants who entered the country illegally as minors and have since taken advantage of the DACA policy, an Obama-era program that allows qualifying migrants the ability to defer action on deportation and gain work authorization in the United States.
To qualify under the DACA program, recipients must have come to the U.S. before their 16th birthday and lack legal authorization to live in the United States.
Despite program recipients being authorized to work in the U.S., they have typically been unable to enter jobs in law enforcement, with qualifications for Seattle's police force previously noting that an applicant had to be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
And now Seattle is so desperate for police officers, they've gone ahead and scrapped that whole "applicants must be U.S. citizens" jazz.
The path was further cleared for DACA recipients to enter the ranks of the Seattle Police Department earlier this year, with the Washington legislature passing SB 6157, which reformed state laws to allow DACA recipients to apply for civil service positions. The legislation was signed by Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee in March and went into effect last week.
‘An applicant must hold a United States citizenship, OR have legal permanent residency in the U.S., OR be a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipient,' the Seattle Police Department's job qualifications page now reads.
As for illegal immigrants possessing firearms, well, that's okay now too. Last year when Los Angeles moved to allow illegals to serve in their police department, the Justice Department and the ATF came to their aid.
DACA recipients also face restrictions on their ability to carry firearms, a vital qualification for aspiring law enforcement officers.
However, the restriction on DACA recipients carrying firearms was disputed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) during a similar move by Los Angeles City authorities last year, with the U.S. Justice Department clarifying in a February letter that it is ‘ATF's position' that ‘DACA recipients may also possess firearms and ammunition seized as evidence or for forfeiture if the possession is in connection with their official duties.'
So now we're gonna have people whose first act on American soil was to commit a crime..
Fighting crime in Seattle!
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the world works when it's upside down.
