2nd Gop didn't get him full approval for a wall but they sure did beef up Security money
3rd As shown in first point,  you take Trump literally.

He pushed for it several times. finally started getting his way at the end. Then Biden undid all of the work that was getting done. Let EO's expire and basically reversed several years worth of work. Now if a Rep gets in there, they will re-reverse it all and get it back on track. 

The reason it works better going thru the House is because the EO's can be challenged in court and take a while to get implemented. Where as it will have a much harder time being challeged if it goes thru the House.

Oh, *I* didn't take him literally.  His cult did.  *I* just tried to tell them that it was never going to happen and that congress would not give him billions for a wall either.

The funding he "got" was taken from funds that were to be used for military housing.

And the court ruled it illegal.

Of course after he spent the money.

He got 52 miles built and a lot of of the old wall patched.  That's it.

Meanwhile Biden continued to allow the wall to be worked on.  But more in the patching and fixing than creating new.

Until October of 2023 when about another 20 miles was authorized.

All that said no wall will work 100% and other, better methods were proposed by Biden and republicans in the bill that the House won't vote on.  That doesn't mean we should repair what is there and look for areas that it will help.  Not what P01135809 suggested as a wall all along the border.

For a guy who says he spent a career "building things" he really is bad at it.
