President Barack Obama has offered to meet Texas Governor Rick Perry to discuss the border crisis during a visit to Texas after the governor declined a brief meeting when the president arrives in Austin, the White House confirmed on Tuesday.
"The president would welcome a meeting with you while he is in Texas," White House aide Valerie Jarrett wrote to Perry.
Jarrett also invited Perry to participate in a session to discuss the border situation with local faith leaders and elected officials in Dallas on Wednesday that has been added to president's schedule. Jarrett's letter, dated Monday, was first reported by the Austin American-Statesman newspaper.
Perry had declined an offer to greet Obama when he arrives in Austin, the paper said, citing a letter from the governor to the president. Obama is set to start his Texas trip on Wednesday.
"A quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas," Perry wrote. He said he would prefer a "substantive meeting" to discuss the issue and would alter his schedule to accommodate the request.

Yes.

Once they cross the middle of the Rio Grande they are on US/Texas territory. It becomes
what to do. Currently the illegals are walking up to authorities and asking to be taken
in. They are then taken in and the long process begins.
The other way is point them back across the Rio Grande and tell them to file an immigration
request and wait your turn. Then it becomes Mexico's problem to deal with as far as
those that are coming from South of Mexico.
Build a wall along the 2000 mile Texas border and it would be easier to man and keep them
out. They would try to breach it but that takes time and is easier to spot.
Essentially they need to be turned back around immediately and not brought into processing
centers. US laws should be strengthened to not allow for them to stay but depart immediately.
Just my rant.
Never trust the Whore of Babylon...
Political order of operations? Calling in the National Guard must be step five hundred and we are still at step six.
“Sure” Governor Perry should say “Lets meet at the Rio Grande”
He better record the meeting.

Gov. Perry sometimes uses the word "Mofo".
With Obama I think it would be appropriate.
There is no love lost between Perry and Oblunder. Don’t you think Rick Perry would like to just beat the stew out of the Kenyan for the string of stuff he has done to Texas.
------------------------------->
I'd like to see this, too.
Kind of like Putin took the first action re: Syria while President Mofo was drawing red lines (with crayons).
EVERY person invited to a photo op / public meeting with Obama is going to be pro-Obama. Jarrett will make sure of that.
It still amazes me that democrats stand by and allow Jarrett to have all the power. Apparently she really knows how to use the NSA to her favor.
Why? So the jerk can say he tried to compromise? Stay home, Governor Perry, it’s a trap.
That’s right. It will be a gangbang.
You have that right. I wish Perry would send the Texas Rangers to meet bummer.
