NYC threatens up to $250G in fines for using terms like 'illegal alien,' threatening to call ICE
Fox News ^ | September 28, 2019 | Sam Dorman

New York City's Commission on Human Rights announced on Thursday that residents could face up to $250,000 in fines if they use terms such as "illegal alien ... with intent to demean, humiliate or harass a person."

"Hate has no place here," a tweet from the City of New York read. The city's announcement ticked off a list of offensive ways to address immigrants -- including threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or harassing someone for their "limited English proficiency."

"Threatening to call ICE when motivated by discrimination, derogatory use of the term 'illegal alien,' and discrimination based on limited English proficiency are unlawful discriminatory treatment under the NYC Human Rights Law," the announcement read.

If you cannot use the correct title, “illegal alien,” then use the word, “wetback.”

This law is stupid, silly, and unconstitutional (it obviously violates the 1A). But make no mistake about it. We will see more and more of this sort of thing.

Old-time liberal: I support free speech.
Today’s liberal: I only support speech I agree with. All other speech is “hate speech”, and must be made illegal.

Citizens are worth more than illegal aliens. How about $500G in fines for using ‘n*gg*r’ or ‘honky’ when threatening someone? The idiocy of NYC commissioners is huge!

It’s demeaning to immigrants who applied for, waited for, paid for and complied with the documents that make them immigrants to conflate them with illegal aliens.

Every use of “undocumented immigrant” should be countered with fraudulently documented foreigner.
