I seem to remember something dodgy about one of the companies contracted to do the work, they were a small entity that had never done any work even vaguely similar to large wall construction.
That, and the land it was built on was not stable enough to support a wall.
Never mind that Trump couldn't even get legit funding from Congress at a time when the GOP controlled both the House and the Senate. He declared a national emergency when the "migrant caravan" (remember that danger to America?) was approaching the border, so that he could use emergency powers and redirect DOD funding to go to his Big Beautiful Wall.
Even the GOP Congress realized the Wall made better rhetoric than reality.

Tells me most of that $15b didn't go into building the wall.
