Immigrants Can Get Driver's Licenses

Delayed- deportation immigrants can now get driver licenses in Oregon.  They are young people brought to this country illegally as children, who have been issued valid immigration documents under the Federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program .   DMV’s David House says not many Oregon residents will qualify.  Applicants must present valid immigration forms obtained from the DACA program to the DMV, and meet all other legal requirements for a driver license.  Governor John Kitzhaber says people have to get to work and this program provides certainty for employers as well. But illegal immigration opponent Jim Ludwick says DACA does not give these people legal status,  and they should not be granted driving privileges.
