Apparently, the administration is still--still--trying to avoid the ``crisis'' label judging by a recent hearing wherein the President's nominee to head Customs and Border Protection seemed to carefully avoid referring to the situation at the border as a ``crisis.'' If the highest number of border encounters ever recorded isn't a crisis, I am not sure what is. The situation at our southern border is out of control.…”
