Liberals: Why is NJ's Kyleigh's Law okay, but AZ's illegal immigrant law not?

[adin55]

In case you are not familiar with Kyleigh's law, the details are at the bottom.

So, I am curious why democrats are good with basically marking young drivers (their cars) for police to profile them, even though they are mostly citizens or legal immigrants who have done nothing wrong or to be suspicious about other than be 16-20 years old.

On the other hand, in AZ, when someone is stopped for other reasons, and there is reason to suspect that they HAVE broken a law (being here illegally), you liberals do not even want them to ask.

Can any of you liberals explain why you (liberals on the whole) are okay with what IS profiling by age, but are not okay with asking suspected criminals if they are legal to be here?


Details of the law:

TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey teens opposed to the nation's first state law requiring young drivers to display license plate decals that identify them as inexperienced have gained support for their cause from several state lawmakers and a national youth rights advocacy group.
The statute known as Kyleigh's Law takes effect Saturday. It requires New Jersey drivers ages 16 to 20 to have a $4 pair of detachable fluorescent red decals on their front and rear license plates during a yearlong provisional license period. Failure to do so could result in a $100 fine.
The decals are intended to help police enforce licensing restrictions on first-time drivers, which limit the number of passengers they can carry and the hours they can drive. They gradually earn full driving privileges under the state's Graduated Driver License program.

They're hypocrites. Case closed.

Driving is not a privilege, It is a right.

I don't support either of those laws. Why are you targeting this question at liberals? 100% of the Republicans as well as 100% of the Democrats in the New Jersey Assembly voted for Kyleigh's Law.

well the police aren't profiling and judging on a basis of race. since the car is already marked, police don't have to GUESS as to whether the person is 16-20. but with the immigration law police HAVE TO GUESS if you're illegal or not.

hopefully that makes sense.

Because the Arizona law makes teaching an english language class in high school illegal if you have a strong accent. Unintended but is happening anyway.

And your argument about profiling is really silly. Soon you will be comparing the numbers on houses to immigration reform. Inexperienced drivers should be protected. Harassment of US citizens shouldn't. There are already too many US citizens that are accidentally deported because they can't prove on the spot that they aren't illegal.

Driving a car is a licensable privilege; Existing is a fundamental right.
