Obama Requests Over $2B in Emergency Funds (Part 1)

America.
President Obama and that growing humanitarian crisis on our southern border. // (The) President heading to Texas this week and sending
Congress a request for more
than $2 billion in emergency funding
to deal with the flood of
children from Central America crossing into the United States. // ABC's Jon
Karl covering that from the White House. And Jon, the
President is taking heat from all sides on this issue. // Reporter: Oh, he sure is, George. And
he’s just announced, the White House has just announced that the President is
offering to meet with Governor Perry while he’s in Texas, because one of the
strongest lines of criticism here is that President is going to Texas for
political fund-raisers but is not going to be visiting the border. //
