In his first television interview as Homeland Security secretary, retired four-star Marine Gen. John F. Kelly told Fox News he wants the U.S.-Mexico border wall finished in two years – setting an ambitious schedule for the project ordered last week by President Trump.
"The wall will be built where it's needed first, and then it will be filled in. That's the way I look at it," Kelly said. "I really hope to have it done within the next two years."
Fox News traveled with Kelly in McAllen, Texas, on Wednesday where he saw first-hand the challenges for Border Patrol agents. The Rio Grande Valley, known as the "RGV sector," is among the busiest. On any given day, Border Patrol agents pick up at least 600 people who have crossed the Mexican border, entering the U.S. illegally.
Those personnel, he explained, are all part of the broader plan for securing the border.
"Any discussion about the protection of our southwest border involves discussion of physical barriers but also of technological sensors, things like that,” he said. “But it's a layered approach, and it’s got to be backed up by great men and women who are going to make sure that the wall is intact."

Do you have a working link? Thanks.
Will there be 2 walls with those Screamer things in between ?
Make it tall and pretty using former National Endowment for the Arts money.
A wall??....You mean like a fence thingy??
buy
I hope that they are planning to include technology that can sense tunneling deep under the border barrier in urban areas and other areas where that is deemed appropriate.
Want to bet Trump can bring it in early—and under budget!
Awesome!!!
Link doesn’t seem to work, however.

I wonder what percent of the total that number is?
I betcha at least maximum 20 % of the total...
I can’t imagine how this is going to shake up the drug cartel business.
This should work:
I would mount the wall on pilings driven deep, and then include massive free-floating concrete blocks hidden just below the surface that would prevent shallow tunneling and would crash down and collapse tunnels dug deeper below them.
A tall thick concrete fence.
The kind the #Nevertrumpers and Free Traitors were terrified might happen.
We need a wall-cam.
What do the plans look like?
We will need to have look outs on the wall as the cartels will not go quietly in the night!
How do all those maverick “invaders” manage to simply merge virtually un-notced with the resident population of long standing, most of them native born U. S. citizens?
Here comes the precast concrete plank. Gen Kelly was in our neck of the woods today on the Tex/Mex border. Said he was in town to talk to the border patrol officers, agents and was not interested in talking to local politicians. On our local tv.
