Fox NewsPHOENIX – Many young immigrants who are protected from deportation under new Obama administration policies are expected Monday to begin pursuing Arizona driver’s licenses.
The Arizona Department of Transportation said it is anticipating a rush of immigrant applicants in the weeks ahead at Motor Vehicle Division offices statewide,
A preliminary injunction issued Dec. 18 by U.S. District Judge David Campbell bars the state from enforcing Gov. Jan Brewer’s policy of denying the licenses to about 20,000 immigrants.
The injunction carries out instructions issued in July by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The governor has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review her appeal of the 9th Circuit decision.
Despite her belief that issuing licenses is a state matter, Brewer’s office confirmed she would comply. The move in Arizona to deny the licenses was a reaction to steps taken by the Obama administration in June 2012 to shield thousands of immigrants from deportation.
ADOT officials said they will start processing driver’s license and identification card applications from qualified immigrants. Recipients who fall under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program, known as DACA, will get a credential formatted like any Arizona driver’s license or identification card.
The move by Obama applied to people younger than 30 who came to the U.S. before turning 16 and have been in the country for at least five continuous years, They also must be enrolled in or have graduated from a high school or GED program, or have served in the military. Applicants also are allowed to pursue a two-year renewable work permit.
Brewer issued her executive order in August 2012 directing state agencies to deny driver’s licenses and other public benefits to immigrants who get work authorization under the deferred-action program. Her move marked the nation’s most visible challenge to the Obama policy.
Nebraska is the only other state to have made similar denials, and a federal judge this year dismissed a lawsuit contesting that state’s policy.

Even were I live you can get a Drivers permit here to drive. With other I.D. A long term visitors card good for 2 years. And a Federal postal I.D. that say’s Nationality on it. And is marked Non Comercial permit. Not good for any job you would need drive for. So yes restricted but you can buy and drive a car here. They are happy to see you spend your money here. America should try this. Come here live here spend here. Just don’t work here. That may be something States should think on. Let them get the driving permit, let them buy a car, let them have insurance, let them buy the gas. But mark it non comercial. So as soon as you apply for a job they know they can not hire you if you use it for I.D. And a 2 year visitor card. Then you need renew. A postal I.D. that say’s Nationality on it. I can do any thing here they can do legally. Except work that I do not wish to do, Apply for welfare, Government benifits, and a few other little things. But live here yes and spend MY Money yes they are all smiles here on that.
