Probably half of that is for lawyers to fight environmental impact nonsense.
Overall cost of a wall, in the grand scheme of FedGov things, is peanuts.

While the money may be appropriated, I seriously doubt W will spend it on the fence. His heart is bent on citizenship and guest workers, and not a fence.

Accounted and unaccounted costs of illegals must be between 100 to 200 billion per year.
Fence 3-5 billion.
Government doesn't think numbers work. Go figure.

The cost of not building the wall(and backing it up) is far greater than the piddling dollars mentioned.

The government has the authority to rightfully invoke national security to trump any environmental nonsense.

Overall cost of a wall, in the grand scheme of FedGov things, is peanuts. Indeed! And whether it's overpriced or not, at least there's a derived benefit, which is more than we can say for the wasting of most of the rest of our tax dollars.
