In a press conference in Dallas on Wednesday, President Obama responded to critics who noted he was refusing to visit the border in a time of crisis. "This isn't theater," the President said, before going further and saying "I'm not interested in photo ops."

why don't all you right-wingers grab a gun, and go to the border, that way you can carry out your second-amendment rights, shooting anything that crosses over, that's what all of you really , down deep, want to do.

Exactly what kind of photo-op would have satisfied you Neo?
I get the feeling you don't actually like President Obama

In a conference call with reporters, Michelle Brané of the Women's Refugee Commission said it was "personally offensive" for Obama to tell children crossing the border that they should not come because they will be sent back, saying many of the children, with adequate legal representation, would win asylum cases.
The governments of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala have a "clear humanitarian situation on the ground," said Leslie Vélez, Senior Protection Officer of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
She said this was clearly the case since the "displacement" was first seen internally within these countries and only afterward did it spread to neighboring countries, not just the U.S.
Between 2012 and 2013, Nicaragua saw a 238 percent increase in asylum applications from children and families fleeing neighboring countries. Honduras has the world's highest homicide rate and El Salvador and Guatemala also wrestle with high levels of gang violence and organized crime.
