DDS is now saying they have stopped issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens with the category \u201cC-18\u201d on their EAD (work permit).<\/p>\n
QUESTION # 1:
\nDoes this mean that all drivers licenses previously issued to this group of illegals have been voided, or that they have only stopped issuing to the C-18 category moving forward? Put another way: Are previously issued drivers licenses to C-18 still valid? If so, when do they expire?<\/p>\n
Also, DDS assures us that they are still issuing drivers license to illegal aliens with deferred action on deportation granted by President Obama\u2019s DACA program. In a direct quote on Insider Advantage Georgia from DDS PIO, Susan Sports, tells us that: \u201cDDS has not changed the policy regarding driver\u2019s license and\/or identification card issuance to non-citizens. Those non-citizens in Deferred Action Status are eligible for GA licenses and IDs per the Federal Dream Act (assuming that they meet all other GA licensing criteria).<\/p>\n
However, there is a separate group of noncitizens that are not eligible for GA license or ID Card issuance. Non-citizen customers with a category C-18 on their Employment Authorization Document (EAD) (which is the category if an individual is under an order of deportation\/order of supervision) are not eligible for GA licenses and\/or identification card issuance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Question # 2 \u2013 Is the DDS Commissioner aware that there is no federal DREAM Act? That legislation failed multiple times over the course of more than a decade in congress.<\/p>\n
Question #3:
\nPlease tell us what the SAVE response code is for queries made for public benefits\/drivers licenses\/ID cards for illegal aliens whose EAD (work permit) bear the category \u201cC-18\u201d.<\/p>\n
Question # 4 \u2013 second request
\nPlease send my office an image of the official Georgia ID issued to deferred action illegal aliens, front and back \u2013 and same for U.S. citizens and aliens with legal status if different from former.<\/p>\n
