Biden's 'wall' is a little fence compared to the one former President Trump was building

A news report comparing the size of former President Donald Trump's southern U.S. border wall to one President Joe Biden built is re-igniting the debate about border security. 

"This was President Trump's wall here," Real America's Voice reporter Ben Berquam said this week as he pointed to the wall in a report from the border on the "Just the News, No Noise” television show. "You can't see the top of it here and this was actually one of the shorter walls President Trump built." 

At least sections of that wall are 30-feet high, as part of Trump's 2016 campaign promise to build a "big, beautiful wall."

Berquam then pointed to a section of thewall built by the Biden administration and declared, "this is what Joe Biden and the Democrats decided was good enough for American safety. I'm six feet tall. I'm taller than that wall, if you want to even call it a wall."

Berquam says Biden's wall was in fact put in place to protect the migrants attempting to cross the border. 

"The only reason they even put it up in place was because they were worried about illegal aliens falling off the levee," he said. "It's about an 8-foot drop off this road right here. So it wasn't about border security. It was about protecting illegal aliens that had already broken into America that may have been walking on the levee road that might have fallen off."

Trump in his town hall event Wednesday night hosted by CNN sparred with moderator Kaitlan Collins, as he has in the past, about his wall accomplishments.

"Hundreds of miles," Trump said about his contribution to the U.S.-Mexico border wall. 

Collins, in a debate on the matter that essentially ended in a standoff, replied: "You built about 52 miles of new wall when you were in office."

Biden paused construction of the wall after taking office in January 2021 but resumed it about eight months later, at least filling in gaps.

His administration in January agreed to lower part of the wall planned for the San Diego area amid public opposition, according to the Associated Press.
