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."

“It is now legal to be illegal
Or is it now illegal to be legal?”
Yes.
One hopes we will soon have enough sane judges to shove BS like this right down the perps pieholes, with high cost.
What state law applies here? Any New Yorkers help me with this?
Bums and street degenerates have immunity to laws, so hand the winos & bums a $10 dollar bill and a sign; "STOP ILLEGAL ALIENS". If they hold it for a few hours, give them another ten spot. This x 1000s of well positioned Hobo-Billboards a day will cause a stir.
We’ve finely come to 1984! Regulating speech.
[[with intent to demean, humiliate or harass a person.” “Hate has no place here,”]]
Sooo NY is gonna go after westborrow ‘baptist’ church when they demean fallen soldier’s families at funerals then too huh? No? Oh, ‘Free Speech’ You say?
Well thats simple. Dont telegraph your lunch. Just call them. 1-866-DHS2ICE. Drop a dime and let immigration take over.
[[deprive a person of a right or privilege protected by the Constitution]]
They get around it by claiming noone has a right to hate speech because hate speech is ‘against the law’
This is going to the courts- These leftist dolts allow hate groups like neo nazis, skinheads, westborrow ‘baptist church’ the right to say hateful things, yet they pick and choose which hateful things to prosecute?
Have they published a comprehensive list of offensive terms? Raghead, baby-killer... those are probably out. But eliminating slurs, generally, might seriously limit your average New Yawkers vocabulary.
Baby steps. They’ll get there.
Whenever I say such things, it’s never out of hate - it’s for love of my country and what it stands for.
A city cannot make enforcing federal law a crime.
Pretty sure that’s a violation of the First Amendment.
Exactly how can they tell you what you can’t say?
Commissions are so Soviet. The dream of the left is a Soviet style system within a new USASSR.
You’ll never get a dime.
Just another money grab by NYC
If you see something, say something!
They wanted their muslims, they got them.
Hey Bloomberg...Get control of your ILLEGAL ALIEN population, or I’m going to CALL I.C.E.!
