ACLU Sues to Force Michigan to Issue Driver's Licenses to DACA Recipients

Getting an employment card and avoiding deportation based on a DREAM/DACA case is really good news for many, but some states are still trying to punish these young people by denying them drivers licenses and access to a university education. In Michigan, the ACLU is suing to force the state to issue drivers licenses to DACA recipients. Really, the only goal of states seeking to deny licenses is to be punitive. These individuals are not going to be deported and they are not breaking the law by working. I think most people agree that they WILL eventually become permanent residents and citizens. The only thing this policy accomplishes is to remind people that the GOP-controlled Michigan legislature and it's Republican governor do not like immigrants.

Thought Snyder liked immigrants in the past....
