NY Fines Landlord for Encouraging Vigilance

New York has fined an apartment building owners $5,000 for "discrimination" in displaying posters urging residents to inform ICE on illegals in the building.

Yes, they really did that. And Kathy "hochum" Hochul praised the decision.

I suppose next they'll be fining building owners for posting "see something say something" signs to fight terrorism or asking residents to call the cops if there is drug dealing or organized criminal activity on the premises.

This is patently illegal and New York must be held accountable.

According to the article:

Since when is it the business of government to "work to call out all forms of hate, bias, and discrimination"? That is not a power expressly granted to government by our Constitution and in fact people have a right to be hateful and bigoted and biased if they so choose, provided they do not interfere with the civil rights of others. Illegal aliens are not here without permission and are breaking the law and if thise manager wanted to encourage other residents to call in the authorities he had every right. They defrauded him and his employers, after all, by moving in either claiming legal status or just by squatting. He did not name specific names, or cut off their utilities, or anything else. He merely asked residents to help keep illegals off of his property.

The Left is always telling us we can't legislate morality when conservatives pass laws rooted in Christian moral beliefs. Things like sodomy laws are largely disappeared. The Blue Laws which closed stores on Sunday are gone. We weren't able to t on condoms and have sex, and abstinence training has been bitterly opposed in schools. But here we have them imposing THER morality on us, demanding we ignore the legal status of aliens (which is the law of the land) and punishing those who want to help enforce a law duly passed by Congress.

It's insane. But then New York has gone stark-raving mad.

They double down:


Is it legal to discriminate based on things like selling drugs out of an apartment? Why is drug dealing a crime but not illegal aliens squatting on a poperty of hanging out on one legal? If a guy was selling cigarettes on the property the state would probably have given the landlord a medal for turning them in. And remember when New York City and Michael Bloomberg were busy making it illegal to sell large sodas? THAT was a heinous crime to them but being an illegal alien isn''t.

Sadly this was a settlement so it's over and done.
