The article states that “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.”

The Axios piece also claims that their “review of news stories found that the “open border” language took off during the Obama administration as conservatives worked to thwart planned immigration reform.”
So they Googled ‘open border’ and did a journalism.
Reporter Bill Melugin, who has been stationed on the frontline at the border for years now, slammed the report, noting that Axios failed to even speak to any Border Patrol agents or take into account the testimony of CBP heads warning that the border is not secure.
