President Barack Obama is traveling to Texas next week

SNIP

He won't visit the border to see any of the captured Central American children who are piling up in detention facilities, however

The White House says he doesn't need to make a pit stop at the border because he's 'well aware' of the situation

SNIP

he will not visit detention facilities at the border housing thousands of illegal immigrant children, the White House said today.

Press Secretary John Earnest said the president is 'well aware' of the humanitarian crisis at the border and doesn't need to see it first-hand during his trip to the Lonestar State.

'The president has a very good sense of what's happening at the border,' Earnest said ...'He's getting regular updates from his officials who've traveled to that region. They're focused on solving this problem.'

'And what the president wants is ... regular reports about what they're seeing on the border, and how resources that are being devoted to processing these--those who have appeared at the border, are being used to effectively administrate justice.

SNIP

Texas Governor Rick Perry invited the president to come visit the border in person during an appearance on Fox and Friends that morning.

'If he doesn’t come to the border, I think it’s a real reflection of his lack of concern of what’s really going on there,' Perry said.

'If the President of the United States is really serious about securing that border, we can show him how to do that,'

SNIP

'But I haven’t even had a phone call from this president.'

On Wednesday Earnest said Obama still had no plans to visit the border but he 'wouldn’t rule it out until the day of.'

'Our focus at this point is to plan to do something else,' he said.

Golf and fund raising are more important than our borders being breached.

If he’s “well aware”, what TV program was that on? Doesn’t he get his news the “same way we do?”

Obama doesn’t want to get scabbies, lice, whooping cough, TB, measles, etc.

Those illnesses and diseases are reserved for us plebes.

Rick Perry knows how to play a narcissist like a fiddle. He said earlier in the week that it would really be bad form for Obama not to visit the border...guaranteeing that Obama wouldn’t do it.

It’s pretty clear he loves lice-infected immigrants in principle, but wants to keep his distance

RE: “Obama won't visit detention facilities holding thousands of illegal immigrant children,”

OH Come on now,
He has a DNC fund-raising schedule that takes priority over everything but golf games,
But don't suggest that this isn't tearing this up inside, inside he is weaping over this

Just like they were his own children. If he had hispanic children....

But remember Hitler didn’t have to ..

as Joseph Goebbels said at the time

‘He’s getting regular updates from his officials who’ve traveled to that region. They’re focused on solving this problem.’

‘And what Der Fuhrer wants is ... regular reports about what they’re seeing in the camps, and how resources that are being devoted to processing these—those who have been sent to the camps, are being used to effectthe final solution.”
