Earlier this week at a press conference, DHS secretary insisted there is not a crisis at the border, which was an assertion even CNN appeared to have disagreed with. However, President Biden concurred with the DHS secretary’s assessment recently:
RNC Research ~ When asked if there’s a border crisis, Biden says “no.”

As the story continues to unfold, the word “crisis” is increasingly applicable. Here’s the latest from Axios:
Jonathan Swan ~ NEW: Leaked internal documents from the Department of Health and Human Services show how quickly the number of child migrants crossing the border is overwhelming the administration's stretched resources. w @StefWKight

Does this sound like a “crisis”? You be the judge:
Stef Kight ~ New: In the week ending March 1, CBP referred to HHS custody an average of 321 migrant kids per day, per docs obtained by @jonathanvswan & me.
Up from a weekly average of 203 in late January-early February and 47 per day in first week of January.
Stef Kight ~ Some of Biden's top officials responsible for immigration policy are planning a trip to the border this weekend, sources tell us.
WH said it "is not finalized and the White House continues to work on locking in details and logistics for a potential visit."
Weekly average of incoming "migrant" kids goes from 203 to 2,247 (based on new daily average of 321). Way to go, Joe, you freaking moron.
Couple that with President Biden being briefed on the possible need for 20,000 beds for child migrants at the border, and we seem to be inching up closer to “border crisis” territory:
Michele Perez Exner ~ In other words, a “border crisis.”
Yep.
Guy Benson ~ Incentives matter and bad policy decisions matter.
Gropey Joe don't care ... all he's concerned about is what flavor of ice cream they're serving in his basement, today.
Mollie ~ It’s bad enough to not prioritize border security over other less important agenda items. What the Biden administration is doing is going out of its way to tear down all the work of recent years in order to create a crisis.
Perhaps Dems don’t want to call it a crisis because it’s the “new normal” they’re after.
Patrick ~ Wow, who would've ever guessed this would happen?! 
During the campaign Biden all but rolled out the welcome mat and sent out invitations, so it was definitely not unpredictable.
