Ask Your Governor to Issue Executive Order Precluding Benefits for Deferred-Action Recipients









Dear NumbersUSA activist,





The Obama Administration’s deferred action amnesty, which offers illegal aliens under the age of 31 a two-year stay from deportation, is producing fallout in the states. That’s because states must decide if deferred action recipients are eligible for driver’s licenses and other public benefits.





The California Department of Motor Vehicles issued a written statement saying, "It appears that young people who receive federal deferrals will be eligible for California driver’s licenses…But it remains uncertain whether clarifying legislation or regulations will be necessary." State law and regulations allow only certain types of federal immigration documents to support the issuance of licenses, so if recipients get "new or different immigration documents," then legislation or regulatory clarification may be needed, the DMV said.





Every state will have to decide whether deferred-action recipients get driver’s licenses, and more are weighing in each day. Georgia, Michigan, Oregon and Virginia officials, thus far, are leaning toward California’s stance. Governors in Arizona, Mississippi, Nebraska and Texas have said that deferred-action recipients will not be entitled to any benefits, including driver’s licenses.





On the day that the deferred-action amnesty took effect, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer issued an executive order re-affirming that amnesty recipients are not eligible for driver’s licenses and other public benefits under state law. Her press aide said, "What President Obama has done confers neither lawful status nor authorized presence. All they've done is defer these individuals' prosecution and deportation…It's up to states to try to do all they can to enforce their existing laws. " Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant issued a similar executive order on August 23rd.





Driver’s licenses aren’t the only issue under debate. Many who qualify for deferred action are high-school graduates who are in college or want to attend. A number of states give illegal aliens access to taxpayer subsidized, in-state tuition rates but most do not. Pro-illegal alien university administrators and state legislators are now making the case for extending in-state tuition to recipients. Other public benefits are at stake, too.





Please click here to send your governor a fax that asks him/her to follow the lead of the Arizona and Mississippi governors in issuing an executive order that precludes driver’s licenses or other benefits for deferred-action recipients.





Also, please call your governor with the following message:





“I am an active voter who strongly opposes the Obama Administration’s effort to give illegal aliens deferred action status. Please issue an executive order, like the Arizona and Mississippi governors, that prevents deferred-action recipients from getting state driver’s licenses or other public benefits.”





Thank you in advance for your assistance.
