Nothing in the first part of that sentence invalidates the second part.
Name one state driver's license that doesn't put your address on it.
Go ahead.
The first half doesn't invalidate the second half, no. It
qualifies the second half. That's what the word IF does in a sentence like this. Maybe grammar is the problem you're having? I'll break it down in pseudo-programming language form.
IF, THEN.
If:
the entity requires proof of legal presence in the United States before issuance
THEN:
any valid United States federal, state or local government issued identification.
The use of the word IF implies that the qualification might not always be met. If the intent was to make any and all government-issued ID's meet the requirements, why is that first half of the sentence even there? It would be shorter and simpler just to write this:
4) Any federal, state, or local issued government identification.
Furthermore, why single out 1), 2), and 3)? If the intention was to have any and all government ID's meet the requirements, they could have just said that all by itself.
And before you try wiggling again with Minnesota, here are the requirements for obtaining a driver's license or state ID
* An application for a drivers license (must be signed by one of the parents or legal guardians)
*
Proper identification (the list of approved documents can be found in the Minnesota Driver handbook)
* A Social Security number
* Proper forms from driver education and/or driver training courses
So yes Minnesota would be VALID. Sigh. This is just sad you are trying to dodge this.

Again with the straw man. This only holds up if you ignore literally everything I wrote in between page 2 and here.
I asked about Minnesota as an example, as I'd not yet looked into it. As it turns out, a Minnesota license will satisfy the officer. A license from New Mexico, Utah, Washington, or Illinois does not require proof of legal status. Why, then, would Arizona want to accept it as proof of such?
You scoffed at the Yahoo News link, but the quote was from Lyle Mann, director of the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board. Is he wrong?
