Abstract:

Governor Pat McCrory and Secretary of Transportation Tony Tata have proposed distinguishing immigrants without full citizenship be issued pink drivers licenses. Individuals affected are largely protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Act who were born in the country and working toward citizenship. State republicans and democrats are split on the issue, with Republicans supporting licenses emblazoned in pink and stating \"no lawful status\" while Democrats argue this will lead to discrimination.
