From the New York Times in Sep 2006:

"Congress also passed a separate $34.8 billion homeland security spending bill that contained an estimated $21.3 billion for border security, including $1.2 billion for the fence and associated barriers and surveillance systems."

Guess that $1.2 billion floated off in the Rio Grande.
