For one West Texas city, the proposition may be simple: Take a contract to work on Donald Trump's border wall with Mexico and give up any work with the city.
An El Paso city councilman is pushing the idea of prohibiting the city from awarding any kind of contract to a vendor or company working on the proposed wall. The issue will come up Tuesday during a regular meeting of the council.

Cut all federal funding going to the City of El Paso.
I read the other day that 100’s of companies were already wanting contracts to work on the wall...
Build the wall around the north side of El Paso. Let the city council figure out how to deal with that.
El Paso, Chihuahua. Problem solved.
Guess woo wins.
Try it, El Mexico.
“Texas city: Work on Trump’s wall and you won’t work for us”
WOW! Talk about a FAKE headline! When you read the story it’s “an El Paso Councilman is pushing the idea..”. That’s NOT the city saying it it’s ONE PERSON!
Fake News.
Doesn’t El Paso have a military installation? I’d be careful if I were you.
can we just run the wall around the north side of said city? Sounds like a lost cause to me.
“Texas city: Work on Trump’s wall and you won’t work for us”
Except it isn’t Texas City it’s El Paso they are probably 800 miles apart
...it’s “an El Paso Councilman is pushing the idea..”. That’s NOT the city...
San Francisco liberal media click bait.
That blacklisting must be illegal.
Do we have any legal scholars with any experience or insight into actions like this?
it won’t be El Paso...
Cool, out of town companies get the work. Local contractors are gonna love this guy!
Yes, Ft Sam Houston, One of the most historic and beautiful Army posts in the US, row upon row of Antebellum mansions dot it’s landscape. Would be a shame to cede it to Mexico.
LBJ closed very nice and useful military bases for less.
Does this elected official have a wall around his house, and does he lock his doors?
The lesson will have to be taught that the southern border is the US/Mexico border, not the TexasNewMexicoArizonaCalifornia/Mexico border. What crosses the border doesn’t stay at the border, or in the US border towns.
Build a few miles of wall or 100 foot of sidewalk.
Decisions decisions... sigh.
