I'm far from an expert on immigration. Perhaps I'm just misunderstanding a few things here, but some parts of this caught my eye.
"Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer had released a strongly worded executive order preventing deferred action recipients from obtaining driver's licenses or any other unspecified "public benefits" in her state, renewing her public spat with the White House over illegal immigration."
I am reading this correct, in that they're talking about a drivers license, and not a state ID. Perhaps I'm missing something but how can you just hand out DL's without the person actually taking a driving exam, as well as a written test? Now, its been quite some time since I took my exam, but I recall a computer generated test, as well as the behind the wheel exam, which of course also consisted of a set number of hours of drivers training.
"Brewer writes in the order that as many as 80,000 young people in Arizona could benefit from the new status, which gives young illegal immigrants under age 31 who came to the country as children relief from deportation and a two-year work permit. Brewer notes that the deferred action status does not make its recipients legal immigrants per se; it's more a limbo state where the immigrants are now not deportable and legally able to work but are not progressing toward a green card or other permanent legal status."
Ok, so they get a 2-yr. work permit. Fine. What happens after the 2yrs? It also says that this doesn't make them legal citizens, but they're in limbo. So, what does that mean? What happens after that?
Hey, like I've said, I'm all for someone coming to the US to better themselves, providing they do it by the book. Go thru the process. But, and again, I may be misunderstanding, but it seems like there's some questionable things here. Of course, the Gov. seems to be making quite a bit of waves as well.
