Florida will no longer accept driver's licenses issued by some other U.S. states to immigrants living in the country illegally under a law signed by Governor Ron DeSantis as he seeks the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
— 14th Amendment Section 1 US Constitution
No person, not citizen, NO PERSON, may be denied equal protection of the laws within the jurisdiction of the United States.
Your argument is moot.
EDIT: Additionally, that’s beside the point here. Another state has granted them license to drive, Florida has no standing to invalidate what some other State indicates. At issue is “is the driver’s license valid?” The State of issue is what determines that, that’s a State’s right thing. Florida has no equal State right that indicates that it can invalidate the issue of some other State. That’s the entire point of Section 1 of Article IV.
State’s can create acts related to this business and every other State must give full faith to the issuance of the originating State. This is less citizen or not issue but, “can say Florida declare Hawaii driver licenses invalid or not?” Article IV indicates that Florida has to extend full faith unless:
Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.
Only Congress can pass a law that indicates that Florida may judge driver’s licenses on citizenship and then Florida positively pass such at the State level. Absent Congressional consent for this action, this is strictly a State versus State issue. And last I checked, most people had no issue with the understand that States have rights.
The illegal immigrant is just smoke screen for making a point that one State can invalidate another State’s paperwork. This was one of the cornerstones of Obergefell. If one State granted a couple a marriage certificate other States had to identify it as a valid marriage.
