Bush I's chief of staff John Sununu spent 2% of that on personal travel and it was such a big scandal he had to resign for it.

When they make movies about this in the future they will tone down the cruelty of ICE and border patrol, like Spielberg did with Goeth in Schindler's List, because no one will believe they were actually this monstrous.
