"San Diego has asked us to go forward with their section of the
wall in California and rather than not doing that and letting
them lobby for us with Governor Brown we decided to do it,"
Trump told reporters as his cabinet met at the White house.
State legislators and California's Democratic governor, Jerry
Brown, have been hostile toward Trump's plan to make the border
nearly impervious for immigrants coming to the United States
illegally, but some enclaves have disagreed.
The Board of Supervisors for San Diego, which is California's
second-most populous county and sits on the border with Mexico,
in April voted to support Trump's legal challenge to the state
designating itself a "sanctuary state" hospitable to immigrants.
