De Blasio's NYC bans use of words 'illegal alien' said supposedly in 'hate'
American Thinker ^ | September 27, 2019 | Monica Showalter

Now that socialist Bill de Blasio is washed out of the Democratic presidential election primaries, he's back to running New York City, doing the Sandinista thing , and banning free speech.

The New York Post has identified his latest bid to make New York Cuba :

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.”

Which is an outrageous assault on free speech, as well as free thinking. The term 'illegal alien' wasn't something cooked up by racists, but a federal government legal term, perfectly legal in description.

Because some breakers of immigration law and their leftist advocates don't like it, given that it ultimately creates distinctions between legal and illegal activity, some sort of truth squad is about to be set up to sort out everyday New Yorkers' correct frame of mind. Was it hateful or wasn't it? Shall we take away someone's home equity for using it or shall we not?

I think criminal migrants is closer to the truth. It’s not like they are trying to get citizenship.

DeBlasio can ban his illegal decree and shove it where the good lord split him. I would have said the sun don’t shine... but how do you shove something up his whole body?

there is a point here.

It is not illegal to be an alien.

The correct grammar would be the more descriptive term:

squatter

They are foreign squatters.

Further, ther is no such thing as “undocumented”.

The foreign squatters all have birth certificates and drivers’ licenses and voting records from their own countries.

Is labeling these politicians in NYC ‘NAZIS’ AND ‘COMMIE TYRANTS’ yet a jail-able offense there ??

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...)
