New York City has banned the term “illegal alien” when used “with intent to demean, humiliate or harass a person,” the city said.
The city’s new guidelines, announced last week, also ban discrimination against someone based on their English proficiency and threats to call immigration authorities on someone “based on a discriminatory motive.” These violations can result in fines up to $250,000.
The guidance is for all public accommodations, employment and housing, the city’s Commission on Human Rights said.

I know this article is almost 4 and 1/2 years ago, LOL, how times have changed, for the woke liberals.
So, they won’t be playing the Genesis song any more?..............
Have these people ever read the constitution?
It’s one thing to threaten, it’s entirely another to use it as an expletive.
“Discriminatory motive”?
People should be indiscriminate?
People should not seek to differentiate between things?
Discrimination is a good thing. Prejudice and racism are bad things.
Well they gotta get their money from somewhere.... and besides if you’re a hard working American taxpayer and you’re being honest, well......
The Truth will set you free after paying a quarter of a million dollars.
Welcome to America
Does this mean if I visit NY I can sue if someone makes fun of my southern accent?
What if you are just calling them as you see them? They technically ARE illegal aliens. If you get fined & don’t have the money, will there be room at the jail or will it already be filled?
Ridiculous, they are non-US citizens who are in the country illegally. That means they are illegal aliens.
Speech police.
Scotus would strike it down. Appeal.
Its a sign that progressive-woke America is collapsing
when the logical consequences and problems of their control is met with detailed, asinine hyper-regulation and absurd penalties, the end is not too far away.
I wonder if Phil could afford to pay the fine?
Isn’t this a violation of the 1st Amendment? The government can fine you for something you say? Even though it might be true? Maybe it will hurt someone’s feelings but lots of things can do that.
The USSC should overturn this BS.
Trying to make up for the lost revenue from wealthy residents feeing NYC in droves.

How about “invader”.

You can avoid prosecution if you call them 'Wet Backs' instead.

Illegal aliens is the term that best describes them, so I’ll continue to use it.
