The liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that Arizona must continue to issue driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants.

Despite an executive order from then Gov. Jan Brewer barring the state from issuing licenses to young illegals covered under Barack Obama’s (unconstitutional) Dream Act executive order, the court issued a permanent injunction blocking the order and requiring the state to continue issuing the licensees.

The state began issuing the licenses in December 2014 after a temporary injunction in December 2014, AZCentral.com reports.

The state argued that Obama’s program was unconstitutional and therefore illegal immigrants who were granted work permits under his executive order were not entitled to state driver licenses because they lacked legal presence to be in the United States – a requirement to get a license under Arizona law.

But the court overruled all that. The permanent injunction affects immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children, referred to as “dreamers.”

In the bizarre ruling, Judge Harry Pregerson wrote that Arizona was violating the 14th Amendment’s “Equal Protection clause. Here’s the twisted logic:

Obama’s executive order – which ignores the Constitution – now gives “Dreamers” equal protection under the law, which they clearly do not have. But because of the order, Arizona can’t deny them the right to a driver license that legal residents have a right to. The Conservative Review opines:

A world turned upside down indeed. Here we have a state that was merely following the laws of the land, besieged by violence, drug cartels, and the crushing cost of illegal immigrants, yet the courts are elevating Obama’s lawlessness over state sovereignty (states control driver’s licenses) and congressional statutes. And appallingly, they are using the 14th Amendment, which was designed to protect the inalienable rights of black citizens, to grant affirmative privileges and state benefits to those here illegally. In the words of House Judiciary Committee Chairman James F. Wilson during the debate over the 14th Amendment in 1866, “[I]t is not the object of this bill to establish new rights, but to protect and enforce those which belong to every citizen.”

The permanent injunction turns any attempt Arizona is making to control its borders and keep its residents safe on its head.

What else will illegal immigrants be granted access to under the Ninth Circuit’s insane “Equal Protection” logic? Welfare, Social Security? Voting?
