The federal government began work Wednesday on replacing border wall in California, the first wall contract awarded in the Trump administration outside of eight prototypes that were built last year in San Diego.

Customs and Border Protection is replacing a little more than 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) in downtown Calexico, a sliver of the president's plan for a "big, beautiful wall" with Mexico. A barrier built in the 1990s from recycled metal scraps and landing mat will be torn down for bollard-style barriers that are 30 feet (9.1 meters) high, significantly taller than existing walls.

“governor moon beam has forbidden the state from doing business with any contractor that participates in building the wall.”

The smart contractors do not do business with the state of California, counties and cities. They want to be paid for their work and not controlled by paper pushing Eco bots.

While they’re at it, they should plant poison ivy or similar plants on it. To prevent grafitti.

I’ve been there. Any plant you can think of that isn’t cactus will be dead dead dead in a week. It’s hot, dry and the sun is merciless.

I love the desert. The stark beauty that tells you in no uncertain terms that if you mess up, you WILL die.

Cactus, amazing plants. My wife went gung-ho on cactus over the past year, planting it everywhere. I can't kill the stuff. My neighbor down the street replaced the front landscaping with all concrete, and gave me a lot of his neglected dug-out cactus. I tossed it by the side of my fence until I could get around to it. Not in dirt, bare roots, sat in a pile on concrete for a few months until I stuck it in the backyard dirt. One month later it was all green with new growth, a few months later it had quadrupled in size and had flower stalks. I wish my other plants were so easy to grow!
