San Francisco: Any company that bids on Trump’s border wall won’t get work here

by John Sexton

Two San Francisco supervisors are introducing legislation today that would prevent the city from hiring any company which bids on President Trump’s border wall. From the San Francisco Chronicle:
“It is time to move beyond symbolism and use the power we have as a city to fight for the values we hold most dear,” said Supervisor Hillary Ronen, who is introducing the legislation with Supervisor Aaron Peskin.
“What we are saying is that we are not going to spend billions of dollars and line the pockets of businesses that engage in work that goes against the values that we hold most dear,” she said…
The Berkeley City Council unanimously passed a resolution last week recommending the city divest from any company involved in any aspect of the project, and the Oakland City Council is set to vote on a measure Tuesday barring the city from entering into contracts with companies that work on the wall...more

Entities that want the border security/immigration laws enforced should pass resolutions saying any company doing business with San Francisco will be denied contracts.

Frank, why don't we, as producers, just boycott all the restaurants and grociers in the bay area and they can get their food from China -- just like they did with their pet food.
