President Trump’s border wall has moved to the planning stages, with contractors submitting design bids and prototypes being built and tested.
A huge section of the wall will need to cover California, the state that is openly defying Trump – recently becoming a sanctuary state.
And in typical Trump fashion, he’s getting revenge with one subtle move that will leave them furious!
The Trump administration is building the prototype in California… in San Diego County.
What an absolute thumb in the eye to those California liberals!
Via Conservative Tribune:
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, a statement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed on Monday that prototypes will be built on federal land in Otay Mesa, a community in San Diego County.
Aside from being in one of the most liberal areas of the most liberal state in the land, Otay Mesa is also home to one of two border crossings in the county. In other words, it’s the perfect place to put up the prototype walls.
Up to 20 firms will be competing in the design round, according to the Union-Tribune, although The Associated Press had previously reported the number as between four and 10. The prototypes are expected to cost between $200,000 and $400,000.
California Governor Jerry Brown recently took a shot at the President’s proposed border wall, saying it has “a lot of odor here of kind of a strongman.”
“The wall, to me, is ominous,” he added. “It reminds me too much of the Berlin Wall.”
Now, Brown can get a close up view of the ‘ominous’ wall, as the prototypes will be tested in a heavily trafficked area and closely monitored by law enforcement agencies and Customs and Border Protection. Perhaps he can get a better understanding of what it looks like to enforce laws and protect Americans.
As for the contractors, California lawmaker Ricardo Lara is so furious with the wall that he’s introduced a bill that would forbid the state from doing business with any participating construction companies.
“I introduced Senate Bill 30 to give our state a louder voice to say that building a wasteful and unnecessary wall would be a huge mistake,” Lara announced.
The winning border wall design will be chosen around June 1st according to officials.

How about Plan B ?
1) Skip the portion of the wall defending California.
2) Make all of Western California a tax-free “enterprise zone” – and illegal immigrant sanctuary.
3) Announce an “Open Season”, unregulated fracking – along the San Andreas fault. This will make California rich, and will open up thousands of miles of new oceanfront property.
DO you realize that if California leaves the Union, it would be devastating for them? All Federal funding would stop. ALL military bases would be closed and all soldiers based there would be relocated. CA would be responsible for their own security. All trade would stop, unless trade deals were negotiated. The rest of the country would not be hurt! Fruits and veggies are grown in NY, Fla, the mid west and the south. Wine in NY is 2nd to CA in production, most of our factories (What is left) is in the east. CA would be even MORE populated with illegals.Think very HARD left coast Lefties! You know not what you do!
I say pull all federal aid from California. I hate doing that because I use to loved the state when I was stationed there in the Navy. However that’s when President Reagan was governor and the state was great. I truly believe that’s what President Trump needs to do. Let them have their sanctuary cities. The wall still goes up. Pull their aid. Continue to round up illegal aliens and deport them. Federal government has authority over city authority. Bingo
I THINK THEY SHOULD LET LA MOVE TO MEXICO SINCE THEY HAVE SO MANY ILLEGAL THERE THEY WOULD ALL FIT IN GOOD THEN THE WALL WOULD NOT BE A ISSUE TO THEM
For me the wall should be built further north, lets say at Red Bluff or maybe Redding, at the Oregon line would be fine also.
If they’re afraid of vandalism, workers being attacked and so forth, for a nominal fee, I will put my team back together. We will go to the construction site and guard it. Defend it, if necessary. with only a couple of exceptions, we will provide our own weapons. The government will have to provide the ammunition we request and protection form any and all legal actions, lawsuits, etc.
But wait… I thought MEXICO WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THIS. What happened to any campaign promise? Why is Trump just another politician, promising one thing – and then shafting all of those who put him there? This wall should not be built until MISTER TRUMP delivers a bill to the Mexican Gub’mnt and it is PAID IN FULL!!!
Mexico won’t pay it as in present them a bill and they pay in cash. It will be paid for by funds SAVED by not having illegals cross over here and collect federally funded services.
If the Ca legislature is going to penalize any California outfits working on the wall, does that include unions whose workers will be working there, Teamsters, Pipe fitters, Welders, 49ers, Steel workers, Carpenters, etc?
California liberals threaten to secede – a nice thought but don’t hold you breath – we’re still waiting for the big mouths who promised to leave the country if President Trump was elected. So far NOT ONE OF THEM HAS LEFT!!! George Lopez? Still here. Al Sharpton? Still here. That blob Michael Moore – still here. The list goes on and on. What the rest of the world is learning now that these peoples words mean absolutely nothing!
Let Mr Lara pass his bill California is a sh*t hole anyway. I live in this toilet being in my 80ies ,if I were much younger I would leave this putrid swamp.I would encourage every young person who intends to raise a family to leave and go to a more sane and moral state.
The names of all who have been murdered by illegals should be put on the wall too
Do you think there would be enough room for ALL the names of those killed by the ILLEGALS?
Linda I think that is a brilliant idea.I hope the right people hear about it.
perhaps the governor doesnt realize a large fence has been in place since 2005 an runs all the way from the pacific to yuma arizona. and it works much better than prior. this wall would be prettier than the ugly fence. brown doesnt get out much
biotch slap!
Build it there first and show those idiots who the REAL majority in America is.
I sure there are lot of good people in California, but the California government needs to be very careful what they say and do. Be very aware that your cash cow is comprised of the tax money of 49 other states. These other states probably have a little say so on how much you actually get to throw away.
All the Marxist liberals pretending to be American patriots should be exposed for the communists they really are and expose their agenda to destroy the real America. A MOAB should be dropped on the state’s legislature building to exterminate the red vermin hiding there.
If I were a resident of Crapifornia I’d hang my head in shame.
Time for patriots to destroy this stupid and anti-American “wall”, prototype or not. If anything is to survive of America and American values, some states will indeed have top leave. After the fascist reign of the God king Trump, little will remain of America except in those states that have left. The rest of you can suffer behind Trump’s Iron Curtain. Enjoy living in Trump’s FOURTH Reich!
Brian, we have laws and our laws must be respected and obeyed. ILLEGALS have neither respected our laws nor have they obeyed our laws. If you don’t like it here, please fell free to leave. That wall shall stand tall and if anyone tries to destroy it, woe to them. We Americans will show you and the ILLEGALS this is the United States of America where laws are in place for a reason. God bless the USA and God bless OUR PRESIDENT Trump ~
Brian, why don’t you just move?
Hey, great idea you have there. Kick out the whole Right Coast.
And then, the West Coast ports can tax all of the Chinese imports headed for the rest of the U.S.
You do realize that they already pay more federal taxes than they receive in federal money, don’t you? That means federal subsidies for the conservative states would need to be cut.
Yes, California received 13 Billion less, than it paid in, however, the state causes more harm with its liberal policies and sanctuary cities, it received 0.99 cents on the dollar as a return. The USA would be better off building a wall around California with guarded entrances and exits, requiring visas in order to enter the USA, after all it seems you want to be your own country, so I say have at it. All the US Federal Government needs to do is pack all Federal assets and leave.
Why not just build the wall along the Mexican border straight up the east border of California then back out to the ocean along the northern stretch of California? Then California can be one with illegals,
It wouldn’t be hard to isolate the liberal parts of CA from the rest of the USA. There are natural barriers and only a few interstate highways that already have checkpoints! Lets build that damn wall before they infect any more states! Let Mexico have it and make everyone happy.
Do justice: ARREST illegal alien Muslim Jihdist-infiltrator and usurper Barack H. Obama aka Barry Soetoro to NDAA Prison for TREASON, I.D. Fraud Voter Fraud, Immigration Violation, SS# Fraud, Murder, ETC! Install CC camera connected to internet one way view looking in on Obama from Americans and the World to keep Obama from escaping. Pay 4 View at 10¢ of Obama in prison writing his $60-M memoirs with a pencil on toilet paper will raise so much money Americans will never again have to pay taxes. Add in Clintons and Soros, and the Pay4View will be so popular that the $20-Trillion Debt will be paid off in 5-years. Arrest them NOW! Let’s see them in prison on Pay4View online!
And then push on and on to more MAGA victory!
Yes, California should drop out of the Republic, for anyone who would elect twice Moonbeam Brown needs to have their own loony bin and stay away from real people.
The Berlin Wall kept people in you dick retard.
Build the wall and cut California Federal Aid. Better yet, sell California back to Mexico with their debt as part of the deal but annex the Farm regions and the Sierra Nevada mountain Range as part of the USA.
BUILD THAT WALL AND ALL THESE STATES THAT WANT THESE ILLEGALS CUT THE FEDERAL AIDE CAUSE THEY ARE UN LAWFUL.
