And to the idiots thinking they're actually getting the Wall built for this price, the Berlin Wall was $200 Million adjusted for inflation and was only 96 miles long. Also there's this jewel back from a few years ago:
So yeah, 10 years ago it cost 2.4 billion for fencing a 1/3 of the Wall. This is just lighting money on fire.

About 670 miles of fencing on the U.S.–Mexico border was completed in accordance with the Bush administration's Secure Fence Act of 2006. That alone cost about $2.4 billion, for roughly one-third of the entire border and, according to migration experts, some of the easier and less costly areas to fence.

They're not getting the wall built, they're replacing existing fencing. Since Trump is astoundingly hard up for wins they reject this reality and substitute their own.

If you think building the wall is expensive and "lighting money on fire," take a look at the public costs and externalities occasioned by rampant illegal immigration from the third world.

That's because of all the bullshite environmental regulations and studies. Trump has supposedly been focusing on scrapping as many of those as possible.
