Security for Trump's border wall prototypes cost sheriff nearly $900,000 - The San Diego Union-TribuneMost of the expense for the sheriff’s department came in overtime pay for deputies. The county paid out $764,278 in overtime during the month — more than it paid deputies in the regular wages, which amounted to $715,170.
The overtime costs were not the only expenses for the county, which patrolled the area between Sept. 26 and Oct. 26 near where the prototype walls were constructed.

Adding it all up, the county paid out $897,942.22 in overtime, supplies, consultant and permit costs for the project. With the $715,000 in regular wages that would have been paid anyway, the total comes to $1.6 million
I take this as proof that we have either liars or incompetents on the job.
EDIT: I see that I calculated wrong, but still this is a **** ton of money spent to protect a tiny patch of land.
