Como receptor de DACA, ser portador de una licencia me ha permitido contribuir mejor a mi comunidad en Arizona\"."}},{"acf_fc_layout":"migrated","migrated":{"migrated":"
\"El fallo de ayer confirma una vez m\u00e1s que la insistencia de Arizona de discriminar en contra de su juventud inmigrante no s\u00f3lo es moralmente repugnante, es tambi\u00e9n ilegal\", dijo Marielena Hincapi\u00e9, directora ejecutiva del Centro Nacional de Leyes Migratorias. \"La decisi\u00f3n deja en claro que no hay ninguna justificaci\u00f3n concebible para el intento discriminatorio de Arizona de frustrar a sus j\u00f3venes inmigrantes de obtener una licencia de conducir que necesitan para asistir a la escuela y al trabajo, as\u00ed como para<\/div>
mantener a sus familias\".<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
V\u00edctor Viramontes, abogado principal a nivel nacional del Fondo M\u00e9xico Americano para la Defensa Legal y la Educaci\u00f3n, dijo: \"Arizona sigue discriminando a los inmigrantes latinos a quienes debe de aceptar. En lugar de optar por pol\u00edticas leg\u00edtimas, Arizona insiste en pagar honorarios de abogados y en malgastar el dinero de los contribuyentes mediante ataques inconstitucionales dirigidas a sus propios residentes\u201d.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
El fallo emitido en Arizona Dream Act Coalition vs. Brewer, una demanda presentada en noviembre de 2012, llega tras una serie de victorias jur\u00eddicas de los j\u00f3venes inmigrantes en este caso. A principios de 2015, el tribunal federal de distrito en Arizona bloque\u00f3 de forma permanente la prohibici\u00f3n de obtener licencias de conducir a los j\u00f3venes inmigrantes que fue ordenada por la ex gobernadora Jan Brewer en 2012. Previo a esto, el Noveno Circuito dictamin\u00f3, en julio de 2014, que la pol\u00edtica era probablemente inconstitucional, y que los recipientes de DACA autorizados por el gobierno federal para vivir y trabajar en los EE.UU., se ven seriamente perjudicados por no poder obtener licencias de conducir.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Jennifer Chang Newell, abogada principal del Proyecto de Derechos de los Inmigrantes de la ACLU, se\u00f1al\u00f3: \"Mientras Arizona ha estado luchando tenazmente en esta batalla jur\u00eddica, estos j\u00f3venes han seguido adelante con sus vidas, conduciendo legalmente en los 50 estados, y contribuyendo con sus talentos a sus comunidades en todo el pa\u00eds. Es hora que Arizona deje esto atr\u00e1s\u201d.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Arizona promulg\u00f3 esta pol\u00edtica discriminatoria en 2012, poco despu\u00e9s de que la administraci\u00f3n de Obama anunciara la creaci\u00f3n del programa DACA. Arizona es el \u00fanico estado en los EE.UU., que ha continuado con sus intentos para negar licencias a los j\u00f3venes \"DACAmentados\", de los cuales hay aproximadamente 26 mil en el estado.<\/div>
