Gov. Kathy Hochul has signed legislation into law that replaces the word “alien” in state statutes with the politically correct term “noncitizen,” which was proposed by Democratic lawmakers.
“New York will both match the language anticipated to be in federal codes and demonstrate respect and humanity to its immigrant population,” reads a legislative memo attached to the bill.
Legislative language states that changes to laws covering cannabis, parks, public health, labor, public authorities, real estate, economic development and a litany of other topics will take effect immediately.
This includes nixing “illegal alien” in favor of “undocumented noncitizen.”
The legislation, sponsored by Assemblywoman Maritza Davila (D-Brooklyn) and state Sen. Jessica Ramos (D-Queens) passed both chambers by big bipartisan margins last spring.

that’ll make the subways safe for sure....
Do nothing dizzy bitch
Just like they outlawed the words government accountability.
Such important shi*.
non-citizen sounds worse than alien to me. Whatever. It’s all meaningless BS.
Long overdue to deport Hochul to a foreign country where they’ll make it very clear that she’s an alien there.
Progress!
Wouldn’t want to alienate the non-citizens.
Why are they here? Oh yeah, most of them broke the law and entered the country illegally.
Instead of alienating, we should unite them with our prison population and/or their home country.
“Gov. Kathy Hochul signs bill replacing ‘alien’ with ‘noncitizen’ in NYS law”
How about replacing the word Governor with Dictator?
As I heard a young woman say once, “He not a alien! He a human being!”
(guess which end of the bell curve)

‘noncitizen’ is a longer word than ‘alien’, thus using more black ink on the white page. Helps with Page and Document Equality.
This changes everything.
Pablum for the infantile liberals.
I guess wetback is out.
So, an illegal alien is now called an illegal noncitizen?
I’m OK with that, as long as they don’t change the word, illegal.
I remember the time we lived in the Philippines and were in line at the local Municipal Building to register for our annual “Certificate of Alien Registration.” That was shortly after our kids had watched “E T”. Our oldest son was paying attention to what we were doing, and got a strange look on his face. “Mom, are WE aliens? Are we like ET?” He was greatly distressed at first, but it was a perfect opportunity to explain to him some rules of life and the meaning of living as foreigners in another country. We were legal, but we still had to register and were aliens.
Not very good reporting by the New York Post. She did far worse than replacing "alien" with "noncitizen". That wouldn't be so bad to have the term "illegal noncitizen". I'm not a fan of the term "alien" because in modern language it brings to mind something from outerspace.
But that's not what she did. She's replacing "illegal alien" with "undocumented noncitizen", leaving out the part of it being illegal altogether.
