Reporters on Thursday again pressed the White House over the surge of illegal immigrants and unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S-Mexico border as they questioned why the administration has repeatedly refused to call it a “crisis.”
At one point in the daily briefing, Kaitlan Collins—the chief White House Correspondent for CNN—brought up the fact that there are reportedly over 3,700 unaccompanied minors in Border Patrol custody. Collins noted many of the minors are spending on average four days in the facilities and asked press secretary Jen Psaki, “How can you say that’s not a crisis?”
