Part 6/10:
The introduction of this bill has not gone unnoticed by the public, with a growing number of residents expressing concern through various media. Many are questioning the wisdom of placing non-citizens in positions that entail the authority to arrest and detain U.S. citizens. One prominent voice in this dialogue criticized the bill, calling it a “mental midgetry” for assuming that non-citizens could responsibly uphold the law.
Opponents argue that allowing non-citizens to serve as police officers undermines the very principles of citizenship and accountability. They argue that there are fundamental differences in the responsibilities of the military versus law enforcement, emphasizing that the latter has the power to strip individuals of their rights through arrests and the legal system.
