Washington state proposed bill would permit noncitizens to become law enforcement officers

"A Washington state sheriff has taken a firm stand against a proposed bill that would permit noncitizens to become law enforcement officers, granting them the ability to take away the constitutional rights of US citizens"



"Under Senate Bill 5068, law enforcement agencies in Washington state would be required to consider applications for any person "who is legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law."

"Examples of noncitizens legally authorized to work include those on temporary visas, asylum seekers, and admitted refugees, among others."

Will the non-citizen police officers be required to speak English proficiently?

Meh, I'm just kidding around, sort of.
