Congress has not approved funding yet to build Trumpwall. Cost estimates below. Will the wall be another broken promise?

Per National Precast Concrete Association (excluding cost of the land) - $8 billion
Per Trump - $12 billion
Per McCain/Ryan  - $12-$15 billion
Per Politico -  $20 billion
Per the Department of Homeland Security  - $21.6 billion
  $9.3 million per mile of fence
  $17.8 million per mile of wall
Per White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney - $16-$50 billion
Per Senator Claire McCaskill - $66.9 billion

Department of Homeland Security estimates the wall will be completed by 2020. Others say it may not be completed by a Trump second term, assuming he is re-elected.  Congress hasn't approved the money yet to build the wall. When will it?
