Joe Biden must be so proud of Axios today for doing his bidding and spreading his propaganda about the southern border as far and wide as they can.
They released an article today claiming that Joe Biden’s “open border” is just a myth and that it is more fortified than ever.
As the Biden administration grapples with the soaring number of migrants and asylum-seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border, conservative pundits and politicians have upped accusations that some Democrats support “open border” policies.
By using the term “open border,” conservatives — including Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who is seeking the role of House speaker — are suggesting that anyone can get into the U.S. without much hassle. But the reality is that the southern border is more fortified than it’s ever been.
Since 1992, the U.S. has quadrupled the number of Border Patrol agents — from less than 5,000 to nearly 20,000 today.
Barriers, walls, and fences have been erected along portions of the 1,951-mile U.S.-Mexico border, in addition to new Border Patrol outposts and high-tech surveillance systems.
The Border Patrol regularly breaks border arrest records, highlighting the difficulty of entering the country illegally.
Most recently, Biden decided to go forward with a border wall in South Texas.
Lines at ports of entry have gotten longer because of new requirements to enter the U.S., putting pressure to expand hours at newer ports of entry like the one in Santa Teresa, New Mexico.
Unbelievable. Biden continually breaks records every month with more and more people coming across his border. Cities along the border are completely overrun and have begged the administration for help. The border patrol have never been so busy dealing with illegals, so much so that they can’t patrol the border like they should. And yet Axios claims it’s never been more ‘fortified’???
Bill Melugin, a reporter who has likely spent far more time than anyone in the media at the border, responded to the article by calling out Russ Contreras for writing such a “ridiculous article”:
