    | It may be entirely possible in Illinois now for a police officer to
    | demand to see your papers for identity compliance even though that
    | police officer may be an illegal alien who broke U.S. law to enter
    | the United States.
    |
    | Under a bill recently signed by Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker,
    | illegal aliens can now become police officers. The downstream
    | ramifications of this effort are not difficult to imagine.
    |
    | As if the crisis of confidence in the U.S. legal and law enforcement
    | system was not under enough pressure, the reality of lawbreaking
    | foreign nationals and border crossers now controlling law
    | enforcement is a rather remarkable escalation in social fracture.

    see Newsweek's Giulia Carbonaro on whether Donald Trump regrets taking
    Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question on the
    campaign trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/fact-check-can-illegal-immigrants-now-become-police-officers-in-illinois/ar-AA1eAyhO>
    | "People who are breaking the law by their presence here can now
    | arrest American citizens. You know the other blue states are
    | watching and getting ready to implement this idea as soon as they
    | can!" the Republican congresswoman wrote. "We either address this
    | border crisis or allow our country to descend further into a Leftist
    | dystopia."
    |
    | The same claim was repeated by Illinois Republican Mary Miller, who
    | tweeted on Saturday: "At 5 p.m. yesterday, when no one was paying
    | attention, Pritzker signed a bill to allow illegal immigrants to
    | become police officers, giving non-citizens the power to arrest
    | citizens in our state," she wrote. "No sane state would allow
    | foreign nationals to arrest their citizens, this is madness!"
    |
    | In May, Illinois Republican Senator Chapin Rose had condemned the
    | bill, per The Daily Wire. He said: "It's just a fundamentally bad
    | idea. I don't care where this individual is from--Australia. They
    | should not be able to arrest a United States citizen on United
    | States soil."

    Does Susie Wiles worry that Miriam Adelson, Betsy DeVos, Ken Griffin,
    Julia Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, David Sacks and Steve Wynn
    will allow Ron DeSantis to make Trump regret not deporting Barack
    Obama's favored illegal aliens?

    "Same thing with his influencers. They went from mocking people to
    acting like doormen, policing attitudes and opinions toward Trump.
    The fun is gone, and you are left with a deeply insecure and
    paranoid enterprise lashing out from the bunker at all "traitors.""
