$1.3 billion for 42 miles sounds like a lot

If a private company was paying for it the 42 miles of wall would be about $100 million.

Depending on where it is placed that looks like pretty rough country so maybe that is part of it. Plus it is still a government deal so there is layer upon layer of BS added to it. Plus there is likely a few million baked in for political donations to grease the correct skids.
