   > As young undocumented immigrants on Wednesday celebrated the start of a new   
   federal program allowing them to apply to stay and work temporarily in the   
   United States, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer issued an executive order telling state   
   agencies not to grant driver's licenses to program participants.   
   >   
   > slideshow Dream Act group protests Brewer's executive order   
   >   
   > Brewer's order, issued late in the day, reiterates that state agencies are   
   required to deny licenses and other public benefits to all undocumented   
   immigrants, even those who gain approval under President Barack Obama's new   
   "deferred action" program.   
   >   
   > Wednesday was the first day that as many as 1.76 million undocumented   
   immigrants under the age of 31 nationwide who were brought to this country as   
   minors could begin applying to stay and work in the U.S. for two years. As many   
    as 80,000 in Arizona could be eligible to apply.   
   >   
   > Earlier in the day, Maricopa County Community Colleges announced that   
   students who get work authorization through deferred action would be eligible   
   to apply for in-state tuition, but hours later, district officials said they   
   would reconsider the decision because of Brewer's order.   
   >   
   > State law currently requires undocumented immigrants to pay out-of-state   
   tuition, which costs significantly more.   
   >   
   > "It's really, really disappointing," Dulce Vazquez, 21, an undocumented   
   immigrant from Mexico who lives in Phoenix, said about the prospect of still   
   being denied a driver's license.   
   >   
   > About 150 to 200 people, many of them undocumented immigrants, marched to the   
    state Capitol on Wednesday night to protest Brewer's order.   
   >   
   > "She shattered my dreams today," said Lorenzo Santillan, 24, of the Arizona   
   Dream Act Coalition, one of the protesters.   
   >   
   > Members of the coalition said Brewer's order shows the deferred-action   
   program is only a stopgap measure. They said that a more permanent solution is   
   needed, such as the Dream Act, a law that has languished in Congress that would   
    allow undocumented immigrants to eventually gain citizenship if they attended   
   college or joined the military.   
   >   
   > "It's a reality check for everyone who thinks deferred action is the best   
   thing out there," said Yadira Garcia, 23, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico   
    who lives in Phoenix.   
   >   
   > Brewer has been sharply critical of Obama's immigration policies, saying he   
   hasn't done enough to control illegal immigration or secure the border. She has   
    called the deferred-action program "backdoor amnesty."   
   >   
   > The program has created confusion in many states unsure how to treat   
   undocumented immigrants who receive deferred action.   
   >   
   > White House and Department of Homeland Security officials have repeatedly   
   stated that receiving deferred action does not amount to legal residency or a   
   path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, only a chance to stay and work   
    in the U.S. temporarily without fear of being deported.   
   >   
   > In her executive order, Brewer essentially said that undocumented immigrants   
   granted deferred action will not be recategorized as lawful residents. The   
   order is intended to cut through some confusion created by the president's   
   program, Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson said.   
   >   
   > "As the (DHS) has said repeatedly ... these individuals do not have lawful   
   status," Benson told The Republic. "They are able to remain in the country and   
   not be deported and not be prosecuted, but they do not have lawful status."   
   >   
   > Regina Jefferies, a Phoenix immigration lawyer who chairs the Arizona chapter   
    of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, said Brewer's order   
   contradicts state law.   
   >   
   > She said that deferred action existed before the program started on Wednesday   
    and that there are "many, many" instances in Arizona of immigrants granted   
   deferred action for other reasons who have received licenses.   
   >   
   > She said Brewer will likely face a lawsuit.   
   >   
   > Brewer's order bars undocumented immigrants who receive deferred action from   
   public benefits that include state-subsidized child care; KidsCare, a   
   children's health-insurance program; unemployment benefits; business and   
   professional licenses and government contracts, Benson said.   
   >   
   > Brewer's order does not address tuition to community colleges or the state's   
   universities.   
   >   
   > On Wednesday, the Maricopa Community Colleges announced that undocumented   
   immigrants who received work authorization through deferred action would be   
   able to apply for in-state tuition because federal work authorization cards are   
    among the documents that qualify to establish "legal presence" in the state.   
   >   
   > But after Brewer's order, colleges spokesman Tom Gariepy said officials were   
   reconsidering the decision.   
   >   
   > Carmen Cornejo of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition said thousands of   
   undocumented immigrants dropped out of college when they were forced to pay   
   out-of-state tuition, which at Maricopa Community Colleges is $317 per credit   
   compared with $76 per credit for in-state students.   
   >   
   > Attorneys for the Arizona Board of Regents, the governing body that oversees   
   the three state universities, are still analyzing what effect the deferred   
   action could have on tuition, said Katie Paquet, a regents spokeswoman.   
   >   
   > Benson, however, referred to a state law stating that those who are not "a   
   citizen or legal resident of the United States or who is without lawful   
   immigration status is not entitled to classification as an in-state student."   
   >   
   > "It's illegal," Benson said. "Any public institution that is seeking to grant   
    in-state tuition to these individuals, should beware: It's against the law."
