Vuelta del Gigante Hogweed?

The flora of the Southwest apparently are not on board with the Minutemen. According to USA Today:

A giant, aggressive weed growing along the border with Mexico is draining massive quantities of water, overrunning roads and bridges and providing cover for illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and anyone else trying to sneak into the country, the Homeland Security Department says.

Called Carrizo cane, the invasive, non-native plant grows stalks up to 18 feet tall and can get so dense it makes roads impassable.
It's not quite the Giant Hogweed, but surely Cast can whip up a suitable prog epic for the occasion!
