Don’t let them find out about ‘Wall’ Street. The City Council’s Committee on Immigration is mulling a bill that would bar municipal government workers from using the terms “alien,” “illegal alien” or “illegal immigrant” in official documents. “I introduced this bill because words matter and the language we use or choose to use has power and consequences,” said Councilman Francisco Moya (D-Queens) — who first floated the proposal late last month — in a Thursday committee hearing. The legislation proposes the term “noncitizen” as an alternative.

Why doesn't New York also change its name to New Oceania.

In essence what they are doing is replacing the term illegal alien, that exists in the federal immigration laws, with the leftist and liberal Democrat created term, prospective Democrat socialist voters.

Someone should tell these ignoramuses that "illegal alien" is the statutory term used in Title 8 of the United States Code.

Probably need to bar the use of words like Sexual assault, rape, shoplifting, speeding and many others. Could his name (Francisco Moya) indicate a racial/ethnic preference?

They cannot tell me what I can say and cannot say. They can only affect their employees.
Idiots and traitors to actual Americans.

The Left is really cramming their ideology down people's throats with this move. Pretty soon the only white residents of NY will be those too old or poor to move.

Why do Demon-Rats hate our Constitutional rights so much?!?!?!?
Seriously, they constantly want to put more and more limits on what we can say, do, own, etc, etc!!!!
Of course, they know they have to destroy the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution to have any real chance to destroy the rest of the Constitution!!!!
But, until they can succeed at destroying the 2nd Amendment, they are going to nip away at the rest of the Constitution!!!!!

FTA: “This isn’t about replacing one word with another,” said Moya.
That's exactly what the proposal is.

This madness is why we all must never vote for a democrat for any public office. They must be squeezed out of politics along with their toxic ideology. Most of us probably didn’t think that democrats serving on city councils and such were not a real threat. Now we know differently. Since all politics are local, we cannot afford to have any democrat spewing their rancid philosophy even if it about something as mundane as dog tags. They absolutely destroy everything they touch. Get them out and keep them out. Now more than ever, Trump 2020!

New Oceania is here, along with Orwell's New Speak. Once New Speak is completely adopted, thought crimes become impossible - only Big Brother's approved opinions can be uttered.
The Left has been attacking our language for decades and is showing signs of winning the battle. Many conservatives seem unaware that there is an existential struggle for free speech.

So I suppose "wetback" is unacceptable?

How about banning the reality, not just the word...

Where is Freedom of Speech when you outlaw words.
Words are speech, whether you like them or not.

Since #16 is fundamentally ambiguous, let me clarify by saying the law should ban illegal aliens not just in words, but in reality. The law should mean what it says.

Next up: barring terms like illegal kidnapper, mugger, executioner, rapist, and cop-killer.
That should improve the crime statistics too.
