Thread: Nebraska is the ‘last state standing’ DACA Drivers Licenses

Dang, Nebraska I'm proud of you! Right call, governor!

Father Neal Nollette of St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Lexington said he personally knows young people who have obtained deferred status and are working but are forced to drive without a driver’s license.

Oh please give me a break. No one is forcing them to drive. This isn't that big of a town and you can walk or bike anywhere you want!

Arguments made in lawsuit over immigrant driver’s licenses

By - Associated Press - Thursday, April 30, 2015

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A judge has heard arguments in a lawsuit brought by several young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children because Nebraska refuses to issue them driver’s licenses.

The Lincoln Journal Star says (http://bit.ly/1FAlzNv ) an attorney for the immigrants argued Wednesday that the Department of Motor Vehicles has been unlawfully denying licenses to immigrants authorized to live and work in Nebraska under a federal program.

But the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office defended the practice, saying that while those young immigrants might have a lawful presence, “they lack lawful status.”

Both sides rested Wednesday and agreed to submit closing arguments in writing within two weeks.

Nebraska is the only state in the nation that continues to deny licenses to youths who qualify for the Obama administration’s deferred-action policy.

The irony of course is giving someone who isn't supposed to be in the US a work permit and driver's license. What kind of message is that?! WELCOME, WE'VE GOT YOUR BACKS. That's what it says, and of course, that's what it means, when the only thing these people "need" is to leave our country, not drive to work.

On a recent morning, inside the Eastern Indoor Swapmeet Las Vegas, a group funded by the billionaire Koch brothers helped 250 Latinos — some of them illegal immigrants — pass the Nevada driver’s test.

In addition to driver’s license classes, LIBRE has started offering Latinos tax preparation help, wellness checkups, scholarships and food giveaways in Texas, Colorado, Florida and other states. It has bought ads touting the “free market,” smaller government and school choice, and its officials are a growing presence on Spanish-language news stations talking about the virtues of “self-reliance.” . . .
