With the growing flood of unaccompanied immigrant children crossing our unsecured border and the President demanding $4 billion dollars to “fix” the problem, it seems odd that he would visit Texas this week…but not the border? According to the schedule released by the White House, the President's two-day visit to Texas won't include a single stop at any of the facilities housing these children, nor will it include a visit to the South Texas border. Rather, the White House's official itinerary for the President's visit to Texas lists his attending fundraising events across the Lone Star State this week. 

In light of this huge immigration crisis in South Texas, I'm curious why the President would skip a visit to the border during his Texas trip.
