Supreme Court: Arizona Must Provide Driver’s Licenses to Illegals

High court refused to hear appeal to 9th Circuit Court ruling

The state of Arizona must allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, the Supreme Court indicated Monday.

The high court refused to take up an appeal of a 9th Circuit Court ruling, allowing the lower court’s decision to stand.

The ACLU launched a lawsuit after Arizona stopped issuing licenses to DACA recipients following President Obama’s mandate protecting so-called Dreamers from deportation.

Former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer had argued the ban on illegals obtaining licenses helped prevent social services fraud.

San Francisco’s 9th Circuit Court of Appeals interpreted Arizona’s decision as an attempt to supersede federal immigration law, claiming the state was developing its own definition of legal immigrants, Reuters reports.

Some days I think it would simplify things if we started calling the illegals CITIZENS and call the existing CITIZENS ILLEGALS. All that's left after that is "Press 1 for Spanish".

An I wrong?

The SC is a extreme political machine, they have refused for many years to rule on the basis of law, The Constitution, and instead rule by extreme political views. They should be removed and replaced.
