CNN —

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 imagine there are statutes that still have that language. Is it illegal to read the text of a law?

Or maybe we can go back to “wetback”.

This is the plan. Flood the country with millions of illegals, then cater to them and convince them Repubs are their enemy. Then give them the vote.

More likely there should be a $250,000 fine for calling someone in those two state governments competent

“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?”

They will release an illegal alien (I’m sorry, uninvited visitor from another country) murderer or rapist from prison to make room for you.

I only use the term “illegal alien” to correctly identify the law breaker, not to demean, humiliate or harass a person.

>Does this mean if I visit NY I can sue if someone makes fun of my southern accent?<

Exactly! Go to a government office. Make sure you show your concern for others and wear one of those useless paper masks. When you mumble in ‘southern’, be quick to object about the blatant discrimination the first time someone says “what”.

Cajuns will make a killing.

I use the correct term - invader.’

If the term illegal alien is used, the law might get changed. The problem is more than one of mere illegality.
