Sounds like they are going to refuse to allow companies to do business in Los Angeles if the companies help in any way to build the wall.
They fail to note the major difference between immigrants and illegal aliens. The wall will only help to keep out illegal aliens, terrorists and other criminals. It won't affect those that come legally so it's not shutting us off from our neighbors in the south, just ensuring that our immigration laws are followed. Mexico has even stricter immigration laws and you better believe they uphold them to the fullest extent. You are in big trouble if you get caught sneaking in to their country yet they have the nerve to complain about the majority of American wishing to secure the border.
Los Angeles must really love all the cheap labor illegals provide even as the liberals bitch and moan about raising the minimum for citizens. Hypocrites.
Maybe it is time for California to secede and then they can make their own laws, take in as many people as they want and they can pay for it all.
"On Tuesday, the Los Angeles City Council, determined to flout President Trump’s effort to build a wall between the United States and Mexico, voted to draft a law forcing companies seeking or doing business with the city to reveal whether they have contracts to help design, build or provide supplies for “any proposed border wall between Mexico and the United States of America.”
The Los Angeles Times reports that the law was proposed by Councilman Gil Cedillo, who said, “We want to know if there are people who do business with the city of Los Angeles ... who wish to profit from building a wall that would divide us from our nearest and dearest neighbor Mexico.” He added that the idea of the wall was “repugnant,” terming it a racist and xenophobic plan. Cedillo pontificated, “Immigrants are the foundation, here in Los Angeles, of our economy. They are tightly woven into the social fabric of this city. And you cannot separate them or divide their families here in this city without disrupting the character of this city.”
Cedillo has been chomping at the bit to target the wall for some time; in May, when he first announced the law he intended to offer, he said, “I would hope that those who want to do business with us share our values and understand the importance of a city that is significantly immigrant, that the foundation of our economy is immigrant, that our social fabric is immigrant.”
Before the vote, Council President Herb Wesson stated, “I do think that it’s important for us on this council to send a message as to ... what our values are and the type of people that we want to do business with.”
