As we told you earlier, just around the time we were learning that a man in the U.S. illegally (who reportedly entered the country in September of last year) had been arrested in the murder of University of Georgia student Laken Riley, Axios thought it would be a good time to put out this story:
By using the term "open border," conservatives are falsely suggesting that anyone can get into the U.S. without much hassle.

But the southern border is more fortified than it's ever been.

"The southern border is more fortified than it's ever been"?
Did Karine Jean-Pierre write that?
In any case, Fox News' Bill Melugin knows better because he sees evidence to the contrary every day, and responded to the Axios story with a video:

Apparently that reality check wasn't a welcome one:

LOL. We're not too shocked by that.
His mind, eyes and ears are definitely a lot more closed than the border.

😂 If they can’t do the leg work, they block others who do! Figures!

For some "journalists," it's easier to just pass along talking points from the Democrats than to go see for yourself.
