To me, a "crisis" implies severe and overwhelmingly negative effects, but - well, like I said, it's semantic.

There were 2.5 MILLION illegals that came across our borders just last year alone. We're not talking a few thousand here or there. We are talking MILLIONS. Just in Texas alone we have upwards of 12,000 people per day crossing. Yes that IS a crisis.

So what? There are 80 MILLION tourists visiting the U.S. every year. Just because something is a big number doesn't make it a crisis.

Tourists are not destroying farmers crops, letting their livestock loose and breaking into their homes. Tourists are not coming over here without any money and putting a strain on the economy. Use your brain please. Those two things are nothing alike at all, and I think you know that.
