Reyna Montoya
is one of nearly 19,000 young immigrants in Arizona who have been
allowed to stay in the U.S. under the Obama administration's deferred
action policy, but the benefits of the program in the state have been
limited.
As Montoya applies for teaching jobs, she considers herself competitively disadvantaged because Arizona hasn't allowed her to get a driver's license as the federal policy allows.
She was among those cheering a decision by a federal appeals court that on Monday ruled the state cannot deny driver's licenses to immigrants in the program. The three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals suggested the policy was intended to express hostility toward the young immigrants, in part because of the deferred action policy.
