Ill. Legislator Wants to Sanction Firms That Help Trump Build Border Wall

(CNSNews.com) -- A bill [1] introduced Wednesday in the Illinois General Assembly would punish any businesses that help the federal government build a wall along the U.S. southern border by placing them on a “Prohibited Investment List [2]” alongside companies that boycott Israel and do business with Sudan and Iran.

 Building the wall between the U.S. and Mexico was a major promise President-elect Donald Trump made to voters during his successful presidential campaign. It is also the first goal of Trump’s “10 Point Plan to Put America First. [3]”

Wouldn't this be a violation of the Constitution?
The Republic is lost.

Do you really think politicians in Illinois really care about what the Constitution says? **nononono*
