Even if the border were addressed (whatever that means), reality is not what dictates Fox News’ coverage. To cite just one example: they spent several years airing completely bullshit stories about how the Muslim Brotherhood was setting up shop in Mexico, planning an attack. This was during the Obama Administration. It was complete horseshit, but they used it as an opportunity to paint Obama as 1.) weak on immigration and 2.) sympathetic to Muslims (because…y’know…wink). The sources were consistently extreme fringe sources (e.g. WorldNetDaily), but the Fox News producers ate it up regardless.
