It’s just not so long ago, that DACA beneficiaries received hope that they will be able to get driver’s license and ability to travel outside the US.
But some States do not support Federal decisions, and refuse to issue driver’s license to DACA beneficiaries. This seems to be absurd in the light of the fact that it is Federal government that decide whether or not somebody is legal in the US. Of course, issuing a driver’s license is a state prerogative, but it is based on Federal determination of whether or not somebody is granted a status in the US. As such, States should not be allowed to deny valid applications for license to otherwise qualified applicants.
Recently, the State of North Carolina explicitly refused to issue driver’s license to those immigrants who present a work authorization with the code for DACA relief.
North Carolina Attorney General had to write a letter to the NC DMV authorities urging them to renew issuance of driver’s license to DACA beneficiaries.
