The Illinois government, not an immigrant, is infringing upon the granting of that privileged occupation, which seemingly is reserved for citizens, not "immigrants".So it's a privilege when you earn it, not before. Until then it isn't your privilege. How can an immigrant be said to have denied you something that was never yours to begin with?
If it [being hired by the state as a police officer] is a privileged occupation created by government with unique attributes, benefits and vested powers to be exercise which are not available to ordinary citizens, then the 14th seems to be violated since, for every non-citizen hired by the State as a police officer, there is one less employment opportunity for the citizens of a State to be hired as a police officer, thereby creating an abridgment of a privileged occupation for its citizens.
