Denial of Drivers Licenses to Immigrants Defended by AZ Gov

Brewer says making life difficult is a feature, not a bug

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is saying the federal government and parents of young illegal immigrants are at fault as she defends her order denying driver's licenses and other public benefits to those who get work authorizations under a new Obama administration policy.

Brewer says she doesn't hate Hispanics or immigrants but that she's reaffirming the intent of state laws denying public benefits to illegal immigrants.
