The US Congress has not approved money for Trump's wall. Money was approved for the previously border security enhancements. As far as I know, the Mexicans are paying for this new wall, so perhaps this should be a question for the Mexican authorities?
As to the wall "samples", these are private contractors, who paid for it on their own, in the hope of getting $Bs of potential wall contracts. I guess they should have waited for the wall paperwork to go through, before they built samples...
But, yes, the wall is a joke. No one can build an impenetrable wall. What makes it secure, is the electronic countermeasures, but that's what Congress approved money for, under Bush, Obama and Trump.
