It's permanent, (Arizona) 'dreamers' can keep licenses

A federal judge on Thursday permanently ordered Arizona to keep allowing young immigrants known as "dreamers" to get driver's licenses.
U.S. District Judge David Campbell's ruling comes a month after he issued a temporary injunction forcing Arizona to start allowing dreamers with work permits through President Barack Obama's deferred-action program to get licenses.
"This means they can keep their licenses," said Araceli Martinez-Olguin, a senior attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union Immigrants' Rights Project.
Campbell's ruling dealt another blow to the state's argument that dreamers who receive work permits through Obama's deferred-action program are not legally entitled to get licenses.

I'm pretty sure that since a driver's license in AZ is proxy for a birth certification or citizenship document it's sufficient for voting, no questions asked. (Like in Texas.)
If it's not evidence of citizenship, then either they revise their driver's license to indicate non-citizen status or they have to say DLs aren't valid for voter registration.

Yup, White People charged in with guns blazing and forced ALL of those brown people over the border. So if you see a brown person they're TRESPASSING.
