California sues Trump administration over border wall

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California filed a lawsuit on Wednesday over the Trump administration’s plan to construct a wall along the border with Mexico, adding to the obstacles facing one of the Republican president’s key campaign promises.

...

The border wall lawsuit filed in a San Diego federal court alleges that Trump’s wall violates federal environmental standards, as well as constitutional provisions regarding the separation of powers and states’ rights.

Representatives for the U.S. Justice Department declined to immediately comment on the case.

The lawsuit asks a judge to stop the administration from building the wall until it demonstrates compliance with environmental laws, and issue an order that the Department of Homeland Security cannot waive any federal guidelines in order to facilitate the project.

1. I believe the state government won't let CA companies get contracts from

the govt to build the wall here too. I don't know where I read that (somewhere on DU). I don't know how they would do that but they found a way legally.

2. Then Trump will just import laborers from Mexico to build it, right?

Or maybe he'll have the wall pre-fab in China and barged in.. just like he has his ties and MAGA hats made in China... not to mention Ivanka's baubles...

ROTF,LMAO!!!

4. Trump won't be here enough to see a wall erected between Mexico AND the U.S.

Especially with how much Mexico City will need their OWN MONEY...
