California bill would blacklist contractors involved in U.S.-Mexico border wall project

Contractors would have to choose between building a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico and doing business with California under a legislative proposal that advanced in the Senate Tuesday.

Assembly Bill 946 by Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, would force the state to drop its pension investments in any companies involved in the project.

The California public employee's pension program is $800 billion unfunded so that ain't much of a hammer

As we head toward sickle and hammer....

Trump should just ban California companies from bidding. Let them have what they want.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Illegals don’t pick lettuce year ‘round. They’ll build the wall in the off season.

I don’t see how such a boycott would be legal if the firm was participating in a federal government project

Can a state divest from its own government?

[headstamp 2]

Democrats are all for blacklists when it serves their agenda.

[Stayfree]

DISCRIMINATION AND IT IS NOT LEGAL!

This is why no politician should be forced to release their tax returns. The liberals will punish any company going business with Trump.

[The Antiyuppie]

So, the libs are lawsuit happy, I would immediately sue the state over this, it will NEVER hold up in court.

[mass55th]

And of course if some contractor sued for being blacklisted, the liberal courts would throw the suit out.

[I got the rope]

Some judge Federal Judge in Texas should say its unconstitutional.

.
“Blacklisting” is a felony, as is discussing the intent to blacklist. (conspiracy)

[SkyDancer]

Build the wall everywhere else in order to funnel illegals into CA. I guess they can then show the rest of the country how heartfelt and caring they are towards illegals aka Dreamers.

[Balding_Eagle]

Pyrrhic victory even if it should be enacted.

Foolish to go against the public when the overwhelming number of them take a common sense stand against this lawlessness.

The judge denying Trumps non-funding of Sanctuary Cites is another example of their stupidity.

Foolish Leftists, please keep going as we’ve had our fill of you.

[RightInTheMain]

Well played. That’s exactly how we should be playing this.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Texas should offer to relocate any company that KKKalifornia blacklists.

[virgil]

Sue California.

This kind of commie craps will continue to happen as long as braindead voters insist on electing America-hating “democrats” to office.
