The city council for Democrat-run Danbury, Connecticut, voted to allow non-citizen migrants to serve as city police officers. The vote was taken in retaliation after federal immigration forces had recently conducted raids in the town.
The city council members said that they voted to allow migrants to serve as cops to send a message to federal immigration officials. The vote was lopsided in favor of supporting illegals as only two of twenty council members voted against the measure, the Hartford Courant reported.
The qualifications for police in the town now include DACA recipients and non-citizen legal residents.
Left-wing city council member Joe Britton claimed that each applicant would still undergo the same background checks as other applicants, and insisted that once in uniform, the migrants will be “on the same team” as natural-born citizen police.
“In the Army, I learned quickly your background doesn’t matter when you put on the uniform. Same team. Same mission. I believe the same applies to our police,” he exclaimed.
