EXCLUSIVE: Border officials working under the Biden administration tell Fox News that the president and his surrogates are wrong not to call the border situation a "crisis." ABBOTT DEMANDS BIDEN ADMIN GIVE ACCESS TO MIGRANT CHILDREN FOR TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATIONA senior CBP official who spoke on condition of anonymity echoed Judd's sentiment. "The president understands it is a crisis which is why he told migrants 'don't come over,'" the official told Fox News. Meanwhile, President Biden said Tuesday he does not have any plans to travel to the southern border "at the moment" amid a migrant surge in migrants and overwhelmed facilities. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday described the border situation as "difficult," but, just as the White House has, refrained from calling it a crisis.
