We probably spent more per year on the existing border wall under Obama.
I cant muster up enough energy to care.

Democrats had a choice, make a shitstorm about a relatively small amount, or pass the bill. Nothing in life is perfect, anyone that believe in perfection or nothing are wrong.

than new wall.

It can repair a few things, or buy stuff that works, like drones and sensors.
