Did you even read the wikipedia article.
From the article:
Congress put aside $1.4 billion for the fence, but the whole cost, including maintenance, was pegged at $50 billion over 25 years.
A report in May 2008 by the Congressional Research Service found "strong indication" that illegal border-crossers had simply found new routes.
A 2017 GAO report, citing U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, found that from fiscal year 2010 through fiscal year 2015, the U.S.-Mexico border fence had been breached 9,287 times, at an average cost of $784 per breach to repair.
Simply put fences and walls don't work. If someone wants to get around or under or over a fence/wall they are going to do so. All the while the tax payer has to pay to keep the wall under repair and under surveillance. The idea of the great southern US wall is patently ridiculous.
Donald Trump is a liar and extortionist.
