PHOENIX — Hoping to avoid another court hearing — and potentially another loss — Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich wants federal judges to delay deciding whether to permanently give driver’s licenses to “dreamers,” or undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. In a letter to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Assistant Attorney General Dominic Draye points out that the U.S. Supreme Court last week agreed to hear a challenge to the authority of President Obama to allow some illegal immigrants to remain in the United States. That relates to a program known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, aimed at the parents of children who are in this country legally. The justices said they want to hear arguments over whether DAPA violates the constitutional requirement that the president ensure “the laws be faithfully executed.” What Draye contends on Brnovich’s behalf is that if the justices conclude that Obama had no authority to enact DAPA, then the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program also disappears. And if there is no DACA program, there are no dreamers — and no one to contend they are legally entitled to drive in Arizona.
