It’s now against the law in New York City to threaten someone with a call to immigration authorities or refer to them as an “illegal alien” when motivated by hate.
The restrictions — violations of which are punishable by fines of up to $250,000 per offense — are outlined in a 29-page directive released by City Hall’s Commission on Human Rights.
“‘Alien’ — used in many laws to refer to a ‘noncitizen’ person — is a term that may carry negative connotations and dehumanize immigrants, marking them as ‘other,'” reads one passage of the memo. “The use of certain language, including ‘illegal alien’ and ‘illegals,’ with the intent to demean, humiliate, or offend a person or persons constitutes discrimination.”
The directive goes on to list several examples of acts and comments that would run afoul of the restrictions, including harassing people over their accents or grasp of English, or wielding the threat of a call to Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a tool of hate.
“A hotel prohibits its housekeepers from speaking Spanish while cleaning because it would ‘offend’ hotel guests or make them uncomfortable,” reads one hypothetical.
“An Indian immigrant family complains to their landlord about mold and cockroaches in their unit. The landlord tells them to ‘just deal with it’ and threatens to call ICE if they file a complaint in housing court,” reads another.
“A store owner tells two friends who are speaking Thai while shopping in his store to ‘speak English’ and ‘go back to your country,’ ” reads a third.
The Commission on Human Rights made clear that the directive is, at least in part, a rebuke of federal crackdowns on illegal immigration.

The youth have not been educated on the Constitution or reality. They have never been challenged to look at the whole picture and make sensible decisions. They have simply been brainwashed with a liberal political agenda that has been allowed to flourish without challenge. In the video these students are all about what they feel. They have no knowledge about how the law works or that the constitution lays out what an impeachable offense is.
Listening to the youth in these days causes me to be very distraught about the future. If gives a great sense of doom about what is going to happen to the country as they age into controlling of it.
This is prove that the ideas in the communist manifesto were used to take down this country and most of the world.
opps... I posted my previous comment to the wrong thread. However there is a relationship between this an the student video thread. This is a feelings based law that has no basis in law under the constitution. It is clear violation of freedom of speech.
“I am so sorry but you are an illegal alien and I must call INS, but remember, I do so with LOVE”
There, that takes “hate” right out of the equation.
Yeah—never threaten.
Do or don’t do.
Instead of burning books, they burn words.
How about if you call them an illegal alien because they are one, no hate?
Doesn’t this violate freedom of speech?
Is labeling these politicians in NYC ‘NAZIS’ AND ‘COMMIE TYRANTS’ yet a jail-able offense there too??
How about “Enemies of America” ??
Remember that the leftists and their libtard tools will DECIDE what defines “motivated by hate.” (as in for anything being sane and non-leftist...)
Most bans these days violate freedom of speech!
What if you are doing it out of “love”? All you want to do is be honest with these pathetic criminal losers.
Here is a scenario.
A tourist from the midwest (lets say North Dakota guy) flies to the big city on business. He takes a cab from the airport to the hotel. He gets out of his cab and is getting his luggage out of the trunk of the cab.
A local walks up to him and says: “You just called me an illegal alien”.
North Dakota guy says: “What. I did not say anything. What are you talking about?”
Local says: “I am going to report you for hate speech. You could be fined thousands of dollars.”
North Dakota guy: “What? No way.”
Local calls a police officer over: “This guy hatefully called me an illegal alien, officer. Arrest him.”
North Dakota guy: “What?”
Police office whispers in North Dakota guys ear: “Give me your wallet. I will take all of your money and you are free to go.”
Police officer takes the money and says: “Welcome to the Big Apple!”
Why not be really bold and radical and call them ‘criminal invaders?’
The biggest mistake Gen. George Washington made was not burning that nest of traitorous snakes in NYC to the ground.
“Foreign Invaders” it is, then.
No they are happily able to do both.
Me, too, G-d willing. I'm outta here next month. NYC can continue to sink further into the morass it's made for itself by electing human garbage like DumblASSio and the corrupt perverts making up the City Council.

Also Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Tennessee.... So far I don't know anyone planning to move to Pennsylvania. PA is better than CT, NY or NJ, though.
Last one out of NY-NJ-CT, turn out the lights.
Just tell them you’re not motivated by hate - you’re motivated by love for the nation and its legal citizens.
So always have a smile on your face when you utter those dasterdly words.
What a joke!
