The mission of FEMA, that's the Federal Emergency Management Agency, is disaster recovery.

And this week, the Biden administration dispatched that agency to the southern border.

So does that mean what's happening there is a disaster?

Clearly, the numbers are enormous.

This is a big challenge, and it certainly is a reflection of using every level of the

federal government to help address that.

On Monday at the White House, press secretary Jen Psaki wasn't interested in labels, but

many are calling the situation on the border a crisis.

Over the past months, thousands of unaccompanied minors have arrived there, overwhelming the

government's ability to process and transfer them to sponsors, usually family members.

Many are being held in jail cells or child shelters, and some of those are a little more

than emergency tent facilities.

The federal government plans to move thousands of migrant teenagers out of overcrowded border

facilities to North Texas.

FEMA will now help transfer some of them to a convention center in Dallas.

The challenge here is that there are not that many options.

So the options are, and we have a lot of critics, but many of them are not putting forward

a lot of solutions.

Jen Psaki at the White House said, yes, the Biden administration promised a more humane

They need more time.
