Three California Democrats have a warning for contractors who sign up for President Donald Trump’s border-wall construction project between the U.S. and Mexico: Build it, and we will divest from your company. In the latest act of resistance against the Trump administration, the state lawmakers have introduced a bill that would force the state to drop its pension investments in any companies involved in the project. “This is a wall of shame and we don’t want any part of it,” Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, said in a statement. “Immigrant stories are the history of America and this is a nightmare.” The announcement of the proposal came on Monday, three days after the U.S. Customs and Border Protection requested proposals for “border wall prototypes.” Assembly Bill 946 would require the California Public Employee Retirement System and the California State Teachers Retirement System — the two largest public pension funds in the nation, with investments of $312 billion and $202 billion, respectively — to liquidate investments in any company involved with the wall’s construction within a year. It would also require the pension-fund management to report a list of those companies to the Legislature.

C’mon San Andreas! Do it! Do it! Do it!
California can’t secede soon enough.
California is broke.
How about we let Mr. Ting house some of the terrorists ..???
I think that would be appropriate .. since he doesn’t want to stop them from coming to his area.
These people have no brains.
Sacramento radical democraps be damned!!! BUILD THAT WALL!!!
That’s the first thing that crossed my mind. Watch these same Leftists scream demands to the construction companies they banned to rebuild after the Big One.
...and with this attitude, will stay that way.
California is a fascist totalitarian state. Think like we tell you to think or we will ruin you.
Perfect!
“””Immigrant stories are the history of America”””
And there are many stories of immigrants being refused admittance into the USA at Ellis Island and other immigration centers when the person failed to pass certain requirements.
Our current history is replete with stories of people who have invaded our country in total violation of our laws.
All those targeted construction companies should refuse to rebuild California after the big quake...then let the douche bags in Sacramento declare the state a sanctuary dump.
This sounds like mean-spirited discrimination by a state in violation of the Commerce Clause. The Commerce Clause is actually an enumerated right of the federal government.
Another of thousands of ridiculous, ineffectual, highly-political gestures by the world-weary Left in California.
Have they considered starting a # campaign?
Our current history is replete with stories of people who have invaded our country in total violation of our laws...
Aided and abetted by radical left democrats who are damned traitors! The radical left is the real enemy!
I’m sure states such as Arizona and Texas will be more than happy to take up the slack...The construction industry in California can give Sacramento a collective FU!
