Be interesting to see what happens there
Here are some costs for fence, not wall that has already been built in the US and Israel, unclear as to if they include land acquisition costs
— Israel constructed a fence along its border with Egypt in approximately two years. Israel spent $415 million ($2.0 million per mile) to construct a 143-mile fence on its border with Egypt. The United States has spent $2.3 billion to construct 654 miles of pedestrian and vehicle barrier fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border, averaging about $3.5 million spent per mile - representing a 21 percent higher cost per mile than Israel.
— Israel spends approximately $8.3 million annually ($58,000 per mile) to maintain its 143-mile fence bordering Egypt. The United States spends $50 to $55 million annually ($77,000 per mile) maintaining its 650 miles of fencing along the border with Mexico—33 percent more than Israel.
