SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- - San Diego will be the starting point for President Trump's plan to build a border wall.

The president has submitted a budget request for almost $1 billion for 2017, to begin building the border wall in San Diego and along the Rio Grande River Valley in Texas.

In the plan, the president asks that 62 miles of the fence be built this year, and two section are in San Diego.

The sections would total 28 miles - half of the local project would be new border wall and the other half would be replacement fencing.

The construction of the border wall would create jobs in several areas besides engineering and construction. A San Diego company that focuses on technology and security by hiring veterans is another of those hoping to join the effort to build the wall.

"If we were to be doing sections of this wall, we will continue to hire veterans," said VScenario Vice President Brian Holley. "And I think it's a great way to bring back those patriots into our society and get them into the business world."

VScenario specializes in security and technology and taps heavily into the ex-military for its workforce.

Cost estimates for the entire border wall project are between $12 billion and $20 billion.

Build the wall in such a wsy that the Reservation is on the Mex side of the wall. Build up - over - back down if they won’t cooperate.

I am not familiar with this issue, but it raises a question: just where, exactly, is the United States border? If it happens to run through the reservation, then too bad for them; we have sovereignty over our own borders. If in fact our border takes a turn in some direction to account for this reservation, then we simply build the wall on our border, and voila, all of the reservation ends up on the south side of the wall.

We have a sovereign agreements with the reservation, we have sovereign agreements with Mexico.

Set Jeff Sessions upon these agreements and who has broken them

“We cannot legally touch them.”

If the reservation allows a national security risk to exist we can.

The Rio Grande is the border with Mexico. The center of the river is considered the real border.

So where is Trump going to build the wall?

On the American side and therefore give the river to Mexico and all the land that the river goes over?

In the middle of the river?

On the Mexican side of the river thereby taking over the river and building the wall on Mexican territory. If they build it on the Mexican territory, then Mexico will say the US is invading Mexico. If it's on Mexican territory they will tear it down and will have every right to do so.

It runs from Mexico to Tucson and is a Sovereign Nation in
league with the Coyotes and Cartels.

***************

It has a northern border with the US so just move the wall
north to that border and let the reservation be between
the wall and Mexico. That may well change any objections
they have.
