Jan Brewer Blocking Benefits From Young Illegal Immigrants Receiving Waivers

The Arizona governor says no taxpayer-paid benefits or state IDs for immigrants that receive temporary work authorization through the Obama executive order

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday ordered state agencies to deny driver's licenses and other public benefits to young illegal immigrants who obtain work authorizations under a new Obama administration policy.

In an executive order, Brewer said she was reaffirming the intent of current Arizona law denying taxpayer-funded public benefits and state identification to illegal immigrants.
