Obama on Declining Border Stop: This Is Not Theater, I'm Not Interested in Photo-Ops

Wednesday at DalFort Fueling in Dallas after meeting with Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), President Barack Obama was questioned about his refusal to go to the U.S.-Mexico border.

The president said, “This is not theater. This is a problem. I’m not interested in photo ops.” His remarks answered a flood of bipartisan calls for the president to personally witness the urgent humanitarian crisis of thousands of unaccompanied children illegally crossing in the border states considering he just requested almost $4 billion for the emergency.
