But it did protect from banning words. Until now, at least in New York City it doesnt.

Intent is required for harassment. Using a word you dont like doesnt itself prove intent, especially when that word is the definition of an object. That object being an immigrant who has entered the country unlawfully.

Yes, and that's exactly what the law entails.

It's not "you can't use the phrase 'illegal alien' in any context"; written into the guidelines is the following text. You aren't allowed to use the phrase "with intent to demean, humiliate or harass a person".

I mean, did you even read the text of the guideline? It's all written right in there and nothing about it seems unusual or breaking with convention.

Many words


If the boss is doing the harassment and there is no government oversight because its also not the governments job then what recourse should old saggy tits use?

I guess we outlaw the words saggy tits in the workplace. Is that really what you're getting at? Lmao. Freedom of speech is doomed


Im asking if the government has no place in the discussion what is the recourse?

Get some thick skin or get another job I guess. Not to mention, this law does nothing to stop that as the boss in question can just harass them in a similar, related manner that skirts the law. And if you're an illegal immigrant then you and the boss arent following the law anyway. If you arent illegal, then take it to social media where you will make a complete ass of them


Ok, so now the get another job argument.

At least you are honest in that you really dont believe the government should have any legislation on the subject and work place harassment should be legal.

I mean, yeah, if you ignore the rest of my post and break it down exactly the way you want to make it seem a certain way, then sure. Way to Erik p out

But amazingly enough we've gotten all the way until 2019 dealing with workplace harrassment without having to start outlawing words

Doesn't mean it can't be harassment. It's also pretty pointless.

The problem here isn't that New York is oppressing freedom of speech for stupid reasons.

It's that they're spending time and tax payer money doing it.

It's one of these worthless do nothing "feel good" laws that politicians make to say what good people they are, when they literally spent time and tax payer money to do nothing but promote themselves.

Should be zero, this law doesn't do anything.

It's just politicians using tax payer money to promote themselves, instead of their own money, or campaign money.

I'm against over regulation and wasteful, self serving bloated governments.

But are you saying that this law isn't a waste of time? People who discriminate against illegal immigrants aren't going to stop because you get fined for saying illegal immigrant.

And because illegal immigrants are actually illegally in the U.S., you can't make laws to actively protect them either.

That's unrelated. Putting people in prison for murder will stop most people from deciding to murder.

Fining people for saying "illegal alien" isn't going to stop people from discriminating illegal immigrants.

Mead posted...

Well, you can't murder them.

Technically, they're supposed to be deported if they get reported, but many places choose to not enforce that.

No state has made a law that says illegal immigrants are the same as citizens as far as I'm aware. If that was the case there wouldn't be a discussion about illegal immigrants in the first place because they're legally citizens now.

Specifically in the workplace, housing, and public accommodations. New York City has declared using the phrase illegal alien can be considered workplace harassment even if talking about illegal immigrants in general and not referring to any particular employees, if an employee becomes afraid from possible discrimination.

Go back to your country, threatening to call ICE, and other similar phrases could also constitute harassment even if the immigration status of an unlawful immigrant is not in dispute.



Fun times living without the First Amendment.

https://reason.com/2019/09/30/new-york-city-illegal-aliens-fine-free-speech/


You know your description isn't very good. I thought this was just a "You can get fired for this" but no this is actually new york blatantly violating the first amendment.


Its not though, as workplace harassment isnt covered under your first amendment rights.


Well yea... but first amendment only applies to government penalties. TC kept talking about workplace so it sounded like it was just someone getting fired and then losing when he sued his workplace.

But no, it's actually the government making an unconstitutional law.

Its actually in the workplace, housing, and public accommodations. No idea how that translates to workplace, workplace, workplace and how you came up with anyone being fired when all we were talking about was people being fined. Its all spelled out in the opening post, but sure be confused. Why not?

Not if you think they should or shouldn't, that current law says that they do. Because that's what I'm talking about.

How is this related anyway to a law that's being promoted as protecting illegal immigrants, but not actually doing anything of the sort?

It's like a school saying they are going to solve bullying by banning the word "nerd".

In California illegal immigrants tend to have improved rights. Not necessarily in every aspect but pretty darn frequently.

This is a ridiculous overreach and will never stand up in court when someone's actually hit by it and says their first amendment rights have been violated.

This will be great fodder for some broad brush painting Republicans to use for years to come.

I guess passing stupid fucking laws that will never remain on the books and make you a laughing stock is bipartisan. In related news...a judge struck down Georgia's stupid abortion law today. :p

Nope - they've got their bases covered. Shockingly, before a major government issues guidelines, they usually have a lawyer or two look them over first.

Again, from the text of the document itself, all they've done is clarified that using the phrase 'illegal alien' "with intent to demean, humiliate or harass a person" constitutes harassment and will be prosecuted as such. Same goes with threatening to call ICE, absent evidence of an actual crime that would warrant their involvement, or attacking other people for not having a good grasp of English.

That's all textbook harassment, a law that's been in the books for ages.

This isn't a new law or anything like that; just clarifications on conduct that does and does not meet the definition of criminal harassment.

It's hilarious that you have such a strong stance against immigrants, yet, US citizens commit more crimes, are more corrupt and are less prone to do the hard work immigrants do. It's almost like you have no clue why our country is going to shit but you'll happily parrot the age old "immigrants are bad, mmkay" rhetoric.

Its hilarious that you say that when at worst 25% of US citizens commits crimes but by virtue of being illegal 100% of illegal immigrants commit crimes. Lets not lump in legal and illegal here when you know damn well youre conflating the two groups to make your argument look like it even has 1 leg to stand on.

Just because there is a house next to yours, doesn't give you the right to enter it and act like you have the right to be there.

Borders and immigration laws have existed for a long, long fucking time. I find it amazing that those principles that exist all over the world are suddenly offending the typically offended lefties. Anything to be triggered and to try and compensate for your guilty consciences, huh?
