constructed with slats on the bottom to give visibility. environmentalists are worried about animal migration. fencing runs along about a third of the 1900-mile u.s./mexico border right now. last year border patrol agents detained more than 31,000 people and seized thousands of pounds of illegal drugs. now, the white house asked congress for $1.6 billion to begin constructing the wall. and that figure includes funds for other things like agents, cameras, sensors and other technology needed to patrol the border. live in san diego, danielle nottingham kpix 5. >> how are they going to choose the final design? >> reporter: yeah, we're still months away from that process happening. you right now will take 30 days for the concrete to set and another 60 days for testing and evaluation. and then after that, it will

take them another 30 to 60 days, they say to come up with a new standard and then they open another round of bidding. so we're a little bit away from the final design and, of course, this will all count on congress appropriating the funds to continue the process. >> thank you. thousands of documents related to the assassination of president kennedy are being released today. how they could provide new insight. >> plus, a recount for twitter! why the company is checking its math on its number of users. >> and we have clear skies, calm conditions out there. but, yes, that hot weather is back. we are going to see a break in the heat. i'll let you know when coming up.
