Dems Expand Push to Blacklist Businesses Working on Trump’s Border Wall
Municipalities punishing businesses bidding on border wall
July 31, 2018
As President Donald Trump renews his battle with Congress to fund his multi-billion-dollar border wall with Mexico, Democratic lawmakers and liberal groups in California have stepped up their campaigns to blacklist businesses involved in building the border wall.
San Diego is the latest city poised to join the list of California municipalities demonstrating their opposition to Trump's promised border wall by punishing businesses involved in working or even bidding on the wall prototypes or other border-wall projects.
The majority Democratic San Diego City Council, in a 3 to 1 vote last week, directed city officials to draft an ordinance requiring contractors competing for city projects to disclose any past and present work, as well as planned bids, on parts of Trump's planned border wall.
"Trump's border wall does nothing to promote San Diego's robust economy and our positive international ties with Mexico," Council President Pro Tem Barbara Bry, a Democrat, said in a statement. "Our region is stronger because of our cross-border exchange with our neighbors to the south."
