New York City Will Fine You for Saying ‘Illegal Alien.’ That’s an Assault on the Constitution.

The propaganda, surveillance, and censorship of Big Brother in George Orwell’s novel “1984” has now arrived in New York.

The city’s Commission on Human Rights recently released new legal enforcement guidelines that ban the use of the term “illegal alien” by employers, housing providers (including hotels), and law enforcement as “discriminatory.” Violators can be punished with exorbitant and punitive fines—up to $250,000 per offense.

In other words, the city will now censor and penalize anyone for using the correct legal term that has been used in both federal immigration law and numerous court decisions, including by the Supreme Court.

This is an outrageous violation of the First Amendment.

What is illegal about saying it? Can I borrow 250k? I got a trip to NY coming up I need to make sure I'm covered. Do they write what you said on a ticket? Can you write it? What happens when you go to court, does the judge say it? I have so many questions!
