You can call anything a crisis and some media outlets do. The question generally is more about the scale of the problem then the terminology.
Climate change is a worldwide crisis that will imperil billions of people with flooding, extreme weather and will cost many lives and loss of property. It will impact all of us to some degree. That is a crisis and we are already seeing the impact.
Immigration is maybe a crisis for the people immigrating but it hardly impacts anyone else except some border towns and it actually helps their economies if yu think about it. Very different scale.
It actually doesn't matter what you call them,, just what you do. It might be popular for some to simply try to blame their political opponents so they can win some elections but it isn't actually helpful.
Action is better.
