White House Spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that President Barack Obama will not be visiting the southern U.S. border anytime soon, even though he will be in Texas next week for a fundraiser.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has invited Obama a few times to visit the border to assess the immigration crisis that has evolved as tens of thousands of unaccompanied children try to cross into the United States. But Earnest said Obama at this point has not accepted. illegal immigration Barack Obama Rick Perry Texas fundraising politics

President Barack Obama is in Texas next week for a fundraiser, but won’t be visiting the border to assess the growing humanitarian crisis.

“Schedules sometimes change and if they do we’ll let you know, but right now there is no plan to visit the border while he’s in Texas,” he said.

Instead of visiting the border, Obama will fly from Denver to Dallas for a fundraiser on July 9, and then will leave Texas from Austin the following day. Earnest declined to call it a fundraiser, and instead said Obama would be “building some support for Democratic candidates for office who are on the ballot in November.”

Earnest was asked whether Obama was comfortable with the idea of holding a fundraiser in Texas people along the border are coping with what most agree is a humanitarian crisis. But Earnest indicated that enough senior officials are dealing with the problem at this time.

“This president is obviously very attuned to what’s happening at the border,” he said. “The president is getting regular updates on the situation.”

More likely waiting on the CDC to develop new vaccines for all the diseases he may be exposed to, since we stopped making some of them because our healthcare system had eradicating them between the 50’s though the 90’s

Smallpox is the one that scares me.

I had a second vaccine in 1971 before going overseas. They say the immunity wears off after 10-20 years.

Unfortunately, Rick Perry supports Illegal Alien Amnesty, and doesn’t have the huevos to kick the illegal out...even though states have the right in regard to child welfare

Does anyone really think someone who pushes the North American Union, like Perry does, really disagrees w Obama on Illegal Alien issues

I say bus the Illegals over to the fundraiser for free food and drinks, and then house them where ODingo is staying.

The world reknown children’s advocate Michelle Obama certainly should be on the border conforting the little ones and planning their lunches. s/

He affirmed that back in 2008 with his idiotic 57-state comment. He basically admitted that he goes where “they” let him go.
