Description ORDER-RESPONSE/REPLY REQUESTED ~ The Florida Board of Bar Examiners filed a Petition for Advisory Opinion asking this Court whether undocumented immigrants may become members of The Florida Bar.The Florida Board of Bar Examiners is hereby ordered and the United States Department of Justice as an amicus is hereby requested to each file a brief, within thirty days of the date of this order, addressing the following five issues:1. How does executive branch policy, including the deferred action policy, affect federal law?2. Does 8 U.S.C. section 1324-1324a, prohibit an undocumented immigrant from working in the United States for compensation?3. Do the provisions of 8 U.S.C. section 1621 (2011) prohibit the issuance of a professional license by appropriated funds of a state to immigrants not authorized to work under federal law? Further, does 8 U.S.C. section 1621, subdivision (c), apply and preclude this Court's admission of an undocumented immigrant to The Florida Bar? Does any other statute, regulation, or authority preclude the admission? 4. Under the Executive Branch's deferred action policy, how can state government entities determine whether an undocumented immigrant is fully authorized to be employed? Would an undocumented immigrant, who has been authorized for employment pursuant to the policy, have an "employment authorization card" or similar documentation? 5. What is meant by the statement on a Social Security card "valid for work only with DHS authorization"? Does the phrase demonstrate that an undocumented immigrant is fully authorized to work in the United States? Or does the phrase indicate that there are matters that might necessitate further consideration by the Department of Homeland Security before the person is completely authorized to engage in employment?Mr. Talbot D'Alemberte, Esq., may file an amicus brief, within thirty days of the date of this order, addressing the above listed issues.
