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.

The problem is corruption on both sides of the border.

Soil in the Otay Mesa area in San Diego, next to the border, is perfect for tunneling. It is very hard dirt that does not cave in. The Border Patrol has found several tunnels there in the last few years. The tunnels lead to warehouse buildings with loading docks for 18-wheel trucks. Chapo Guzman visited his daughter in Los Angeles County while he was on the run. He probably went through one of his tunnels. Building more wall down there won’t do much good.

Still want my mine field added to the design, along with a border road and frequent, irregular, continuous armed patrols with .50 cal machine guns.

Is Trump incapable of keeping a secret? How did he ever acquire parcels of land for a development when he broadcasts what he is up to? He’ll have a human blank laying on the ground on both sides of the border, chained and padlocked together.

“They build tunnels below it.”

The wall will not stop stop illegal entry but it will greatly reduce it. That’s all any barrier can do.

A bigger issue is the Tohono O’dham Indian reservation in Az.

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

We cannot legally touch them.

Oh we watch and report...
