If you are not a US citizen you cannot legally work in the US without authorization. Getting a driver's license does not fulfill that requirement.
YOU are correct. I've been through this before with someone. The paperwork alone can take a very long time to get back clearing you as a citizen. You can and will get temporary paperwork allowing you to work, but that still takes time and effort on your part, as well as money and usually an attorney.
