It was always performative to convince idiots that something is done, and as patronage for the companiies being paid insane amounts of money to build the wall.

Bingo, it's a Mafia boondoggle. You pay Company [exorbitant amount of money] to build an ever larger, ever more complex project so you can funnel cash to them without it looking like a gift. All Company has to do is have 4 or 5 guys be up on scaffolding "building the wall" a couple days a week to make it look like progress is being made.
