Arizona Governor Jan Brewer blocks illegal alien benefits of Obama's amnesty program

 
In your face, Barack!

PHOENIX – Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed an executive order directing state agencies to deny driver’s licenses and other public benefits to young illegal immigrants who obtain work authorizations under a new Obama administration program.

Brewer’s order issued Wednesday says she’s reaffirming the intent of current Arizona law denying taxpayer-funded public benefits and state identification to illegal immigrants.

Young illegal immigrants could start applying Wednesday with the federal government for work permits under the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

The program defers deportations for young illegal immigrants if they meet certain criteria.

Brewer’s order says the program’s federal paperwork doesn't confer lawful status on illegal immigrants and won’t entitle them to Arizona public benefits. She directs state agencies to start emergency rule making processes as necessary to implement her order.

Compliments of Weasel Zippers.
