There is no such thing as a mesquite cactus. There are, however, mesquite trees and shrubs.
A cactus typically lives in desert biomes, where they are adapted to survive in arid conditions with low rainfall and high temperatures.
A prickly plant that grows in the desert is a cactus. Cacti have adapted to survive the harsh desert conditions by storing water in their fleshy stems and having prickly spines to reduce water loss through transpiration. These features help cacti thrive in arid environments with limited water availability.
Global warming may benefit cactus mesquite bush and Welwitschia by creating warmer, drier conditions that are more conducive to their growth. Cactus mesquite, adapted to arid environments, may thrive with increased temperatures and reduced competition from less drought-tolerant species. Similarly, Welwitschia, which is native to desert regions, could see enhanced growth and reproduction as the climate becomes more arid. However, both species may still face challenges from extreme weather events and changing ecosystems.
The Saguaro which may reach as high as 50 feet and live as long as 150 years.
Some plants that live in the Sonoran Desert include saguaro cacti, ocotillo, creosote bush, and palo verde trees. These plants are adapted to the arid conditions of the desert and have unique features to help them survive in the harsh environment.

The ocotillo sprouts leaves a day or two after a good rain in the desert. It blooms in the late winter.

Yes they do live there.
There is no such thing as a 'mesquite cactus.' There are many species of cacti and there are shrubs/trees called mesquites. A mesquite is not a cactus.

There are several species of barrel cactus that live in one or the other deserts of North America. The barrels occur most frequently in the Sonoran Desert.
The saguaro lives in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona and Mexico.
Some common plants that live in the desert include cacti, succulents such as aloe vera and agave, desert sagebrush, and mesquite trees. These plants have adaptations to survive in arid conditions such as storing water in their tissues or having deep root systems to access underground water sources.
