It's "crisis," the singular, as in the thread title. Hate to be the grammar police, but you diminish the effect of the points you're trying to make when you use a basic word incorrectly. Even worse is your use of emoticons when using the word incorrectly.

Back to the regularly scheduled debate...

Neither side wants to fix the import of poverty.
A life in poverty here for these people is heaven compared to where they came from.
As a nation of service jobs this is the perfect labor force.

An uneducated dependent populace is very easy to control.

And it's not a crisis if they planned and budgeted for it.
The crisis is on their part for not having all their pieces in place..just like when Obamacare went live and the websites didn't work.

Up until June they were doing catch and release so they didn't need any "shelters" for them.
The MSM got wind of the numbers from Border Patrol and then the decision was made to hold them even though they had no shelters.

This is a government made crisis and if we give them money it will all "go away".

All their budgets got more than doubled between FY2013 and FY2014 because they told Congress they expected 60,000 illegal children. Congress gave them that money.
Are we having a "CRISIS" (), or not?

If yes, then the government needs to spare no resource to combat it. A crises is a serious condition, which needs to be addressed immediately.

If no, then let's not pretend we have a crises.

No, we have no crisis at all.

Release them like they were doing all along before June 20.

The majority of youth have been released already.

I'm not and nor are you. Yes build that fence but it's not PC. One side would jump the other and folks would scream. So we now have a crisis..............mostly made up by the media but here we are. Folks see headlines and fall over and scream. In reality we should start shooting these runners and the one behind em will think twice.

Well, there is bill which says build it, but I guess the House thinks it's too PC.

Yes we'll build a fence..that's it.

We won't worry about "over" or "under" it will we ?

And who would think a picture perfect home in California would have a tunnel under it going to Mexico ?
