Florida governor Rick Scott has vetoed liscence for DACA applicants

Today has been very upsetting for me. I have had my driving permit for over a month now and was just about to get my lisence when I heard in the news about Florida Governor Rick Scott vetoing a law that would allow DACA applicants to receive a drivers license. Here is the article:

I'm confused. Why would there need be a law to get the licenses? As far as I know as long as you have a work permit you can get a license in the US. Apparently not all states are equal though...You should search when this goes into effect and meanwhile try to get a license from a neighbor state.

Sorry, I'm not very good with politics and all but he vetoed a bill that allowed DACA applicants to receive drivers liscences. Having a drivers lisence was one of the benefits of having DACA, the other one being a work permit and permission to be in the US.

Rick Scott is siding with Arizona.

Wow. I'm from tampa and this just turned my day upside down after just getting an email from uscis saying they recieved my evidence. Smh.. Now what

I don't get it, does that mean going forward people who are approve for DACA won't be allowed to get a Florida drivers license...

I know right, it sucks. But keep your hopes up. Hopefully they change their minds. It's not fair because how are we supposed to get to our jobs or basically anywhere? I mean it's great that we get a work permit but how do we get there? Especially if nobody in my family drives... It truly sucks.

It means that DACA applicants will have the benefit of being in the US with permission for 2 years and a work permit. But Rick Scott removed the benefit of obtaining a drivers lisence which for me I think, is pointless, because it is very difficult to get around with no car or lisence.

None of this makes sense, requirements for a drivers license hasn't change http://gathergoget.com/Default.aspx

It probably is because it was just done today. If you watch noticias univision tonight they will cover the issue more and better than what I have.
