MAYORKAS: "I think that we face a very serious challenge in certain parts of the border." REPORTER: "Do you view what’s happening right now at the border as a crisis?" MAYORKAS: "I view it as a significant challenge." REPORTER: "Why won’t you say the word 'crisis?'" MAYORKAS: "You know what? Because I have tremendous faith in the people of the Department of Homeland Security, and a crisis speaks to me of a withdrawal from our mission, and we are only putting more force and more energy into it."
