Mark Krikorian: Surge of illegal immigrants and fentanyl across the US border is definitely a crisis

'It's a crisis': Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly on southern border
Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona tells CNN's Jake Tapper that there's more to do on border security and "I don't agree with some of my Democratic colleagues on this."
Suppose that over a month or two, prices doubled. Would that be a crisis? Would it be a crisis if the number of people out of work doubled? Or the number of drug overdoses doubled, or car crashes or burglaries?
So how is it that a doubling — and more — of illegal immigration isn’t a crisis?
Even after two years of unprecedented levels of border-jumping, the Biden administration’s point man on immigration, the not-yet-impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, mulishly refuses to use the word “crisis” to describe the massive jump in illegal immigration that started immediately after the president’s inauguration in January 2021.
Of course there’s a border crisis.
