Young Immigrants Gain Access to Driver's Licenses
Only three states let illegal immigrants drive, but the Obama administration’s decision to stop deporting some undocumented students, veterans, and recent high-school and college graduates will give them driving privileges in more than a dozen additional states.

On the contrary, officials in a handful of the affected states have scrambled to block the licenses from being issued, prompting a political backlash in Michigan and yet another immigration-related lawsuit in Arizona.
