Fox News’s Bill Melugin and, more recently, Matt Finn have been providing a true public service by simply interviewing migrants as they illegally cross the southern border and know President Joe Biden will release them into the United States.

This week, Finn interviewed a migrant from Malaysia who recounted his trip:
Finn: When you said you searched online, what did you search for? What did you find?
Migrant: I search how to come USA, yes yes.
Finn: What did you find? A guide? Someone to help you?
Migrant: No. Maybe he just say you can fly to Turkey because my passport is easy to fly to Mexico.
Finn: So you flew to Mexico and just walked across?
Migrant: Yeah, and then I will meet with some guys at hotel that the internet say, yeah.
