Is that a rhetorical question? Because to me the answer is stunningly obvious.

They’re not denying drivers licenses to Latino citizens of the US. Just undocumented immigrants. While I disagree with the policy of denying undocumented immigrants drivers licenses for a variety of reasons, one isn’t so that they can vote. Did you read this article at all???

Does this come down to racism, the judge asked.

That would be a resounding, YES!

Don’t you just love the assistant DA’s response…please don’t speak like that judge…you just can’t make this crap up. It is humiliating to be an Arizonan.

AZ, the AL of the SW!

To my knowledge there is no DIRECT Federal law that prohibits States from issuing driver’s licenses, but there are Federal laws that prohibits the release of Social Security numbers to illegal aliens.

Exhibit A = http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm

Social Security number is a requirement for ALL Arizona residents to obtain a driver’s license, thus Federal Immigration Laws have a heavy hand on denying illegal immigrants access to driver’s licenses.

Exhibit B = http://azdot.gov/docs/default-source/mvd-forms-pubs/96-0155.pdf?sfvrsn=16

Furthermore, only a handful of States grant driver’s license privileges to illegal aliens, the vast majority does not. Are all those other States racists as well?

Exhibit C =

If he does know, then is throwing the “racist” card around to push his own idiotic agenda.

The racist immigration laws that AZ passed that have been overthrown by the SCOTUS, you mean.

Why, you ask? Because they are racist laws, that contradict the constitution, that’s why!

The right to vote is only for American Citizens, born or naturalized. All others including legal aliens with work visas or green cards cannot vote, having a driver’s license or not.

This piece (I am not calling it an article) should have spent some time on the to and fro in Court. Are you limited to a certain number of words? Not up to the standard one expects of TPM!!!

Does the Bear live in the Vatican?

I’m afraid it is.

And they will know the rules of the road.

Social Security numbers are issued to immigrants not yet full citizens, specifically “Dreamers” or DACA status.

(CNSNews.com) – Social Security numbers (SSNs) were given to 541,000 illegal aliens, according to Carolyn Colvin, acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration (SSA).
In a March 12 letter, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) had asked SSA: “How many individuals have applied for SSNs as a result of the June 15, 2012, memorandum issued by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano entitled ‘Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Children’?”
“By the end of fiscal year (FY) 2014, we had issued approximately 541,000 original SSNs to individuals authorized to work under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy since its inception,” Colvin said in her April 10 response.
Napolitano’s June 15, 2012 memo states that “for individuals who are granted deferred action by either ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] or USCIS [U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services], USCIS shall accept applications to determine whether these individuals quality for work authorizations during this period of deferred action.”
The 2012 memo acknowledges that it “confers no substantive right, immigration status or pathway to citizenship,” adding that such benefits can be conferred “only [by] the Congress, acting through its legislative authority.”
However, according to Sessions’ office, "an illegal immigrant who receives a Social Security number will be able to draw federal tax credits, Social Security retirement benefits, and Social Security disability benefits.”

Your post leaves me no option but to conclude that the overflowing outhouse posting as Puppies remains brimful of fecal matter.

If wishes were horses, why we’d all ride!

Way to try to change the subject, Cupcake.

And you’re wrong about that, too. DACA eligible undocumented immigrants are given SS numbers.
And that’s who this is about, principally.

You post your relentlessly stupid right-wing bullshit without a thought—and thought is certainly a foreign field for you—that we all have your number and we all see you for the cretinous tool you are.

It is impossible for a human being to be illegal.
These are undocumented immigrants—nothing about them as people is illegal.
And being undocumented is a misdemeanor, not a criminal act.

As for the judge, he is not "throwing the racist card around to further his own idiotic agenda.

Why would he want to behave like you?

The Social Security Administration website for which I posted the address above doesn’t provide that kind of information but PERFECT!!!

Now illegal aliens in Arizona can provide any other listed documentation, as everybody else in the State, and obtain their very own driver’s license. So what’s the Judge beef anyway?
