Thousands of young adults lined up in Chicago to apply for a new federal initiative that allows young immigrants to defer deportation.
The initiative allows deportations to be deferred for up to two years for as many as 1.7 million people and grants work permits to illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States as children. The work permits will allow them to obtain a Social Security number, apply for driver’s licenses and receive financial aid at colleges.

But, on a day when so many hopeful, undocumented, young adults turned out to validate their Americanism, the Wicked Witch of the West, Jan Brewer, flipped them a bird.
Gov. Brewer cR-AZy, issued an executive order reminding undocumented people that if they got a work visa, they still would be eligible for no state benefits.
Republican Gov. Jan Brewer reiterated to state agencies today that they must deny driver's licenses and other public benefits to undocumented youth who can remain in the country without fear of deportation under a new federal program.

She could have issued a memo. But she wanted to poke her bony finger in Obama's face again.
