Young immigrants in Arizona are expected to line up for driver's licenses, but Gov. Jan Brewer vows to fight So-called Dreamers are authorized to stay and work in the U.S., but Arizona has denied them driver's licenses Thousands of young immigrants protected from deportation under a federal program will begin lining up for Arizona driver’s licenses Monday after a federal judge removed the final barrier preventing them from applying for the documents.
A preliminary injunction issued Thursday by U.S. District Judge David Campbell bars the state from enforcing Gov. Jan Brewer’s directive to deny driver’s licenses to more than 20,000 immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally.
The injunction takes effect Monday to give state officials time to let Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients know that their federal employment authorization cards are now acceptable proof of eligibility for a driver's license.
The so-called Dreamers, who have been shielded from deportation since 2012 under the Obama administration’s DACA program, are authorized to stay and work in the country legally. But in Arizona and Nebraska they have been denied driver’s licenses.
Campbell effectively ended the ban in Arizona when he ordered the state to ignore the governor's directive against driver's license applications for DACA immigrants.

The Governor should tell the DMV to ignore the judge’s ruling.
She should say it is a security issue, and that’s that.
Why do we need governors if judges can make the rules?
Will they get their voter-ids now or later in the mail? /s
Barry’s war by proxy on America. BLOAT. The wheels are coming off the wagon, “folks”.
How many Americans can drunk Mexicans kill on our roads? Sorry folks, but this is the truth. Who can one sue when illegal invaders terrorize and kill our family members on our roadways?
Ah, “Dreamers” — the now accepted substitute name for illegal aliens. Once that becomes a pejorative, what will be next? “Saints”? “Martyrs”? “poor victims”? I guess they are dreamers in the sense that the new American Dream is living your life on Welfare and Food Stamps and not having to work.
What would happen should Brewer tell the Feds to go pound sand ?
She should. Barry picks and chooses which laws he is going to obey, so why can’t a sitting governor do the same? By the way - don’t they have to take a driver’s test in order to be issued a license? Simply flunk them - that will take care of that problem. The only reason the DEMS want them to have driver’s licenses is so that they can vote. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out.
Give them driver’s licenses that expire every week.
NOTHING! The Feds cannot do a DAMNED THING. The first step would be to Publicly Withdraw ALL CONSENT for Federal Agencies to operate within the State. Yes They NEED PERMISSION from the State,County to Enforce Laws.
I wonder if nightmarers will be waiting for them.
Great point. She should use Barry’s trick and sign an executive order/memo telling them not to obey the order from some stinking lowlife judge. Barry’s lawless America thing works both ways. If you don’t like a law, ignore it.
I forget. Where does it say that the Federal government controls State drivers license laws?
Does that mean that all states have to license at say, 16, rather then 18 as in some states?
OMG! Discrimination on the basis of age! Someone call Ginsberg, send out Jeh Johnson!
When did “prosecutorial discretion” in deferred deportation become application of citizenship rights?
We all know the answer: it didn’t.
DACA is an illegal decree
“Poor victims”. The Ferguson area peeps are now using this as an excuse why they are driving without tags, insurance or licenses. They don’t think it’s fair they now have to pay penalties for not having these items or not showing up foe
R court appearances. I wonder how many don’t have more than one tv, phone, air conditioning, tec? I’m sure the “dreamers” will be following suit.
For that matter, what do we need state legislators, either?
Federal judges seem to be able to sweep state laws off the books on a whim (or at Holder's behest).
She won’t simply because Obama, or some bureaucrat somewhere, will figure out federal monies from somewhere that goes to the state to threaten her with.
It’s always about the money.
Ditto for borders if we don't defend them?
Don’t do it. Simple. Make the federal government come in and take it over. See how Americans react when armed Federal agents on a a large scale come into all DMV’s in the state! Dare the puke POTUS and his darling AG.
“The Governor should tell the DMV to ignore the judge’s ruling.
She should say it is a security issue, and that’s that.”
And also that it’s a state issue.
