Denver PD Fined for Declining Non US Citizens.

“The Justice Department’s investigation found that from approximately Jan. 1, 2015, until approximately March 23, 2016, the Denver Sheriff Department discriminated based on citizenship status by requiring applicants for deputy sheriff positions to be U.S. citizens and publishing job postings with U.S. citizenship requirements, in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The INA’s anti-discrimination provision prohibits employers from limiting jobs to U.S. citizens except where the employer is required to do so by law, regulation, executive order or government contract. The Denver Sheriff Department was not subject to one of the INA’s exceptions.”

The article says its common for the US citizen requirement for LE jobs but I have no clue. It seems it would make sense but who knows. Please delete if this is inaccurate/moot.

Don't deputies and such have to pass a background check?

I imagine in this messed up world if one were a wetback one could check a box marked wetback and TPTB would overlook the fact that mr. wetback is a criminal and give the wetback a gun so the wetback could shoot US citizens and defend other criminals.

Talking like that just makes you seem like a mouth breathing ignoramus. People should have the common decency to not openly sling around racial pejoratives. Shameful.

Being an illegal alien is no more racial than being a drunk driver.

But it is OK for you to throw pejoratives at me.

Both over the top, knock it off.

The reason this is an issue is because there are a lot of people that are here legally, that are not citizens. Denver isn't trying to eliminate hiring illegals, as that doesn't need any special exemptions. You can be here legally for your entire life, own property, pay taxes, buy guns, etc but not be a citizen. So the question is why Denver PD would restrict an entire group of people from employment just based on citizenship. Denver PD was fined for having an unnecessary restriction.

Knew a few guys who got their citizenship while in the Army. Not sure why a PD would be a problem for a non-citizen.

My favorite immigrant was the Albanian mortarman. His PSG was lazy about CIB citations, and cited him based on an incident he was not at in order to not have to do as many write-ups, despite having been at another incident which qualified him, so he refused to accept the award until it was fixed.

2nd favorite was the Polish dude in our Scout platoon. He earned the nickname "Polish Assassin" because in the invasion he took out a Bongo truck at 2km with the Mk19, with one shot. He married a Colombian. I couldn't understand either one of them and have no idea how they understood each other.

I'm vehemently against the idea of any non-citizen performing any LE function that carries with it powers of arrest, etc., for any number of what should be brain-dead-obvious reasons...Non-citizens (legal) in military, "mall ninja security" jobs, etc. - no problem....

What are the brain dead obvious reasons?
