A recent Democratic-backed law in New Mexico seeks to solve the state’s rampant crime problem and shortage of cops by letting foreign nationals become police officers.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on April 7 signed Senate Bill 364, which opens the door for anyone with a federal work permit to serve as a cop. In 2024 alone, the Biden administration issued over two million new work permits to non-citizens — many through hotly debated parole programs with major oversight flaws.

Over the last several years, New Mexico has experienced an exodus of cops and a spike in crime, something Las Cruces Police Chief Jeremy Story attributes to the anti-police sentiment stemming from the George Floyd riots.

“That’s an objective fact. You look at our application numbers over time, you can look at state police, Albuquerque or even Portland. It has a lot to do with the environment or the climate around policing especially from 2020 on,” he told the Las Cruces Bulletin.

“New Mexico’s move follows other left wing strongholds like California, Illinois, and Colorado, where state Democrats have similarly allowed non-citizens to join law enforcement ranks.”

New Mexico has the highest rate of violent crime in America and the lowest percentage of violent crimes that are solved.

NM is totally FUBAR but how else you gonna get MS13/cartels controlling your state?

The NM Government isn’t being lazy, it's being intentional.

Consider this, now non-citizens can legally shoot US citizens.

Just spitballing here but maybe if they supported the police and let them do their job, they wouldn't have a shortage of officers.

Nothing like recruiting cartel members to infiltrate your police...

Opens up some serious jurisdiction issues.

If they're not under the umbrella of "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" part of the 14th amendment, then made officers of the State that they're not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof", that opens the door for all manner of fuckery.

Wow..... That is one scary thought.

Is he a naturalized citizen?

I will note that you do NOT have to be a US citizen to serve in the armed forces! (Indeed, I work with one who served before naturalization.)

Nearly all of LAPD is comprised of Mexico’s people.
Nearly all jails in LA are comprised of Mexico’s people.
Nearly all of LA’s most wanted are Mexico’s people.
It’s almost as if Mexico has taken LA…huh?

Anyone willing to put their life on the line in the military services for a full term we should have an expedited path to citizenship.

LAPD is 31% Black and 30% White ?

 

[BrokeLoser]

LA will call brown people white like all blue shitholes do as they try to hide brown behavioral traits in with those of whites.

You mean the ones who are probably on the cartel payrolls?
The ones who get hired because they speak the enemies language?

I believe they do.

My father was drafted in '65 as a non citizen. He had already been working here legally for almost 5 years. He wasn't sent to 'Nam though. He joined the 82nd Airborne and ended up supporting a small revolution in the Dominican Republic. He got his citizenship either during his time in the service or soon thereafter. I don't recall him actually telling me which it was.
