The 638 acres (2.58 km2) of land [We Build the Wall] built on is part of farmland that belongs to Neuhaus and Sons, and the wall added over $20 million in taxable land improvement, increasing the tax burden by 75 times. In January 2020, Fisher Industries started a lease-purchase agreement with Neuhaus and Sons for the land under the wall, but had not completed the ownership transfer by their court hearing on December 12, 2020, citing a problematic land survey by Fisher. Fisher’s attorney, Mark Courtois, was hopeful the US government would become owners of both the wall and land. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Public Affairs Officer Thomas Gresback said that the wall was privately paid for and on private property, and CBP does not have anything to do with the project. CBP is constructing its RGV-03 project wall outside the floodplain 0.3 miles (0.48 km) away.[66] As of July 2021, the property had been reassessed at 100 times its original value, and Fisher was hoping to sell a 3-mile section of wall (4.8 km) that had cost $30 million to build.[67]
No, it’s not, read below. It is has nothing to to do with Trump’s wall.

It’s not the official wall, but it lies on the path of the planned wall and was clearly inspired by Trump. Therefore, I consider it a part, though I understand that many may feel differently.
While it probably was “inspired” by Trump, it has nothing to do with the “official” wall, in fact if you read, the official wall will by pass it.
This is something THIS farmer/land owner, did on his own or with private donations. And the idiot built it in a flood plain so it’ll be gone next large flood.
He is solely responsible for the outcome of his own actions.
You have a point, but I don’t think they would’ve bypassed it had it not been built in a frequently flooded and rotted place. And I’m not saying Trump is responsible.
