国际英语资讯:Trumps border wall plan faces resistance from local legislatures

Not only participating building was prohibited, but supplying any material to contractors working on the project, the report emphasized.

While on the other side, James Flanagan, a San Francisco contractor thought it was a little radical by using such bans to stop contractors participating the project.

"My first reaction is why taxpayer dollars are being spent to hold committee meetings to boycott local companies that employ local workers?" he said when interviewed by SF Chronicle.

Outside California State, a lawsuit against the border wall was also filed by an Arizona Congressman and a conservation group, which called for an in-depth investigation of the potential environmental impacts.

The conservation group named the Center for Biological Diversity and Congressman Raul Grijalva believed that border wall would damage the habitats of those threatened species.

According to local KTAR News, the lawsuit sought to require the U.S Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to prepare a "programmatic environmental impact statement" for the U.S.-Mexico Border enforcement program, since "some areas within 50 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border have been identified as the 'critical habitat' for at least 25 species by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service" .

"We filed the lawsuit in consider of all perspectives of environment." Randy Serraglio, from the Center of Biological Diversity told Xinhua, saying the lawsuit "was not because of the immigration or other issues, but only environmental factors."
