CALIFORNIA -- Any companies that help President Donald Trump build his 1,900-mile wall along the U.S.-Mexico border would lose their tax breaks under a proposed California bill. Assemblyman Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) this week proposed the bill that he said is aligned with California's principles of welcoming people from around the world.

Assembly Bill 2355 "would prohibit companies that contract or subcontract with the federal government to help build a wall along the U.S. - Mexico border from receiving certain California tax breaks," according to the Sacramento Bee. "The five tax credits that companies would not receive include manufacturing, research and alternative energy credits as well as the California Competes Tax Credit, which gives income tax breaks to businesses that expand or relocate in California." The Sacramento Bee reported that at least 375 companies have made a bid to help build the wall.

"We want to send a message to all companies that are in California thinking about being a part of this (border wall) process to really stand with the state, stand with the residents and stand with American values which welcome people from all over the world," Ting told the Sacramento Bee.

The bill is just another jab at the Trump administration by California lawmakers, who have been vocal about the president's new policies surrounding immigration and another issues.

Trump this week visited California for the first time in his presidency to view eight prototypes of the border wall. He told the public he was most in favor of the "see-through" wall. The border wall could cost anywhere from $21.6 billion to $70 billion.
