SANTA FE (AP) — The Santa Fe Police Department is considering the possibility of recruiting Mexican nationals to fill vacant police jobs.

Sgts. Gillian Alessio and Marvin Paulk, who are in charge of the department's recruiting and training, said Tuesday they are considering alternative approaches to fill 20 vacancies on the city's 155-person police force.

But Police Chief Eric Johnson said New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy regulations prohibit non-citizens from serving as police officers.

Alessio said the Santa Fe police force, like others around the country, is vying to recruit the same 21- to 30-year-olds as the U.S. military, whose need for recruits is taking a toll on the police department.

"Every day, we get approached by young men and women from Mexico who are in the country legally but are not naturalized," Alessio said.

"There is a huge pool of people who are dedicated, hardworking and trying to become citizens of this country. They would like nothing better than to devote their time to protecting the communities that they live in," she said.

The United States speeds up naturalization for foreigners who enlist in the U.S. military, and Alessio asked, "Why can't we do that with law enforcement?"

I'm sure this is no coincidence. Bill Richardson is screaming about the surge in border crossings in NM and it wouldn't surprise me if this is his brilliant idea. In light of the fact that Mexico's keystone cops can't control their massive criminal population which has allowed them to come here by the zillions what exactly do these morons think they can do for the US? Sounds like a slick plan to allow more blurring of the borderlines to me.

So far this is really just a discussion of expanding hiring eligibility to another group of legal immigrants. It would become problematic if they did expand and the new hires favored sanctuary polcies.

I have seen bilingual language requirements become a reverse discriminatory policy. That is one thing to look out for and to beware of. I do ot see anything that brings it up.

I don't think that it is a good idea. It's different in the military. The military is not dealing directly with civilian U.S. citizens (in most cases, except emergencies)

U.S. citizens who are on U.S. soil should not have to answer to or take orders from people in uniform who are not U.S. citizens.

Our Forefathers would roll over in their graves if they heard of such a thing!!

Of course, Bill Richardson would see nothing wrong with it. Moron!!

I posted this story last night. It's not legal to hire them, they'd only like to.

I agree they can hire who they want. However the deFacto language in the US has always been English. Now with the hordes of people occupying our country and that do not learn our language are in fact changing our country into theirs. This step by the police is just one more nail in our country's coffin.
