Customs and Border Protection is replacing a little more than two miles 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 posts that are 30 feet high, significantly taller than existing walls.Landing mat are the padded mats that gymnastic athletes land on. And they're also flat metal grating that be rolled up for airplanes to take off and land on when tarmac is damaged or nonexistent.
Bollards are structural phallic symbols. So, a row two miles long of 30 feet-high phallic symbols. Take that, Mexico.
More significant details at the link including legal challenges expected by one particular judge who Trump ridiculed during his campaign.
Comments at the San Diego newspaper are a lot more supportive than I expected considering San Diego is in California. They don't fit my comprehension of the state as a whole.
They're on par with the comments to the post made on Legal Insurrection. Except for one guy. Boy, lawyer types sure can get shrill when they feel themselves backed into a corner. The anti-Trumpite is triggered by the remark, "promise kept." That launches him in to litany of promises Trump promises unkept, while disallowing any extenuating circumstances such as his own resistance.

Maybe we should build a border maze. One way in, no way out.

The maze should lead them to some obscure US bureaucracy which will trap them in there forever. Or a border maze that leads them in from Mexico and exits them back out into mexico after a week or so. :D
