Obama doubled the amount of border patrol agents. Which seems like a much better use of money than a wall, at least according to… the border patrol.
Under his lead. You are being pedantic. It was part of his states goals and platform. And his party overwhelmingly voted for it.
Traditionally border patrol pushes have been failures, they get more staff but generally super underqualified and often times cartel linked. Yes it's a better use of money but training the ones we have to actually be effective is better use.
