The current event in the news—a sharp increase in the arrival of unaccompanied minors—is a problem for border officials, a political challenge for Biden and a dire situation for many migrants who make the journey, but it does not fit the classic dictionary definition of a crisis. ... Therefore, we should avoid, or at the least, be highly cautious, about referring to the present situation as a crisis on our own, although we may quote others using that language. — John Daniszewski, editor-at-large for standards, Associated Press

So, let me get this straight: A crisis should not be called a crisis when the Democrats are in charge but was freely called a crisis when Trump was in charge? Is that being objective? — David Walker, author, The 2020 Election Coup

In theory, there could be a security or a border crisis if officials lose control of the border, allowing people to enter unencumbered in large numbers. But, in general, avoid hyperbole in calling anything a crisis or an emergency. — John Daniszewski, editor-at-large for standards, Associated Press

Avoid imagery conjuring war or natural disaster, which could portray migrants as a negative, harmful influence. — John Daniszewski, editor-at-large for standards, Associated Press

Another lie. More fake news. These are illegal aliens. They are a negative, harmful influence on American life. They are all criminals flooding our country. — David Walker, author, The 2020 Election Coup

Avoid emotive words like onslaught, tidal wave, flood, inundation, surge, invasion, army, march, sneak and stealth. — John Daniszewski, editor-at-large for standards, Associated Press

In other words, avoid the real truth. This is an onslaught. It is a tidal wave. It is a flood. It is an invasion of illegals. Come on, man, tell the truth. — David Walker, author, The 2020 Election Coup

We’re having record numbers already and the surge that you’re about is only just beginning. This is not, I mean in terms of unaccompanied minors, this is not the same as its been. This is worse, is it not? — Jon Karl, ABC News, in a rare moment of asking a real journalistic question

I think it’s also important to be clear that our policy hasn’t changed, that the vast majority of people who arrive at our border we’re turning away under Title 42, the health code that requires us, or allows us, to turn people away in this period of COVID. So people should understand that the vast majority of people who show up at our border, we’re turning away. — Kate Bedingfield, White House communications director

Absolutely an untrue statement. The vast majority of the illegal aliens are not being turned away, even with the Covid crisis added to the current Biden Border Crisis. Indeed, Biden has begun shipping these illegals to other parts of the country rather than keeping them at the border or turning them away. When will the Biden administration start telling the truth about this invasion of illegals? — David Walker, author, The 2020 Election Coup

Despite reluctance to describe the border crisis as such, Border Patrol data clearly show a migrant crisis is unfolding. — Chris Enloe, weekend editor, TheBlaze

The U.S. Border Patrol has encountered an average of 5,000 undocumented immigrants per day over the past 30 days. — NBC News talking about illegal aliens

Those 150,000 illegal aliens are just the beginning of a real invasion of unAmericans coming to get free stuff from American taxpayers. — David Walker, author, The 2020 Election Coup
