Good news everyone! You no longer have to be a citizen to work for the government!

https://file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/bos/supdocs/159325.pdf

As of 2018, an estimated 880,000 non-citizens had made the County their home,

contributing significantly to improving the lives of us all. Y

Yes! All the contributions to taco trucks, mowing lawns, and removing trash. We have the best workforce, folks!

These applicants, who often express deep interest for public service and a

sincere desire to pursue a career representing indigent LA County residents, reflect the

County’s values of inclusivity and compassion. Further, their lived experience as

immigrants places them in a unique position to relate to and connect with the diverse

communities the County serves. The competition to recruit well-qualified attorneys is

extremely high and the citizenship restriction represents a significant missed opportunity

for the Public Defender and the County.

Imagine needing a public attorney, and the only one the county will give you is a non-english speaking flub that didn't need to pass the bar.

Illegal immigrants will probably do 1000x better than your typical LA resident.
