Blacklisted For Building Trump's Wall? California Considers It
NPR ^ | May 2, 2017 | by Ben Adler

Democrats at the state level are getting increasingly elaborate in their efforts to oppose President Trump at every turn. You might even say they're trolling him.

And nowhere is that more evident than in several blue-state efforts to hinder or outright block the president's long-promised southern border wall.

In California, for example, state lawmakers are debating whether to blacklist contractors who help build the president's proposed border wall.

"If you're a business that wants to do work with Trump's proposed wall, then quite frankly, California doesn't want to do business with you," said Democratic state Sen. Ricardo Lara, who represents Los Angeles County.

Lara's bill would ban the state from contracting with any company that provides goods or services to the federal government for a federally funded southern border wall.

The border wall isn't the only battleground for Democrats seeking to attack President Trump. Several states, including California, have bills that would require presidential candidates to release their tax returns in order to make the ballot.

But the fates of all these bills are far from clear. They'll need to win approval from state lawmakers, governors and, quite possibly, courts.

The mere fact that they are discussing this Illegal Act should have Prompted AG Sessions to send Every ICE Agent he can muster to begin Sweeps of Illegal Aliens in California, beginning in Sacramento with the ARREST of the State Legislature and Governor for giving Harbor and Aid to Criminal Invaders.

I think this is all a plot by Mexico to get all the white folks to leave California and then “reclaim” it as part of Mexico.

Here’s my solution ... put southern California and the Bay area behind the wall(s). Fresno obviously on this side (don’t want no trouble).

The president should respond by issuing an executive order prohibiting any California businesses from contracting to build the wall or supplying materials and services to be used directly or indirectly in the wall’s construction, maintenance or operation, and prohibiting employment of any California residents on the wall’s construction, maintenance, or operation. Thewe steps are needed to protect such California businesses and residents from being blackballed by their state government and sharing any of the filthy federal money to be expended on the project.

Well, put the military on it. It think between the army, navy, air force marines, coast guard, we can come up with enough people to have active (armed) patrols on every mile of the border 24/7...certainly enough to cover the 200 or so mile stretch in california

When the government targets its enemies, that’s called “fascism”.

And for everyone who thinks my last post is snarky, here’s this from Wikipedia (!):

“Lara was born to parents who came from Mexico to the USA illegally”

The citizenship of such a person has never been adjudicated. In the opinion of millions, he is not a citizen just because his illegal alien parents decided to have a kid here. They don’t pick who our citizenry is or will be. We do through our laws and Constitution.

Oh noes! Democrat blacklist!

A gift from Dems for limiting the competition among builders. Afterwards, simply change your company’s name.

Bigly gift because only smaller companies will apply.

Are the builders now obligated to contribute to Democrat campaign funds for this great wall building gift??

This is an excellent pro small business tactic.

They can’t even operate Mexico at a profit, how would you expect them to run California? It would cause them to depend even more on money from illegals residing in the rest of the U.S.
