A Nebraska state senator hopes there’s a change at the top, but if not, he plans to push ahead for a change in state policy that would allow youth brought to Nebraska illegally when young to obtain driver’s licenses.
Senator Jeremy Nordquist of Omaha accuses former Governor Dave Heineman of stubbornly fighting against the driving privileges of such youth for political reasons. . .

Nordquist has introduced legislation that would allow those enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals to receive driver’s licenses.
Nebraska is the only hold out among the 50 states.

Nordquist believes depriving DACA youth their driver’s licenses doesn’t play as well among the voting public as it once did. . .

There are approximately 23-Hundred such youth in Nebraska.
