See the Map Ted Cruz Sent to Obama With Directions From Fundraisers To Border Towns…

Posted on July 9, 2014 by Emmanuel



Houston (CBS HOUSTON) – Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has joined Texas Gov. Rick Perry in calling on President Barack Obama to visit the Mexican border personally, with Cruz sending Obama actual directions to the border from the president’s planned fundraiser stops in Austin and Dallas.
Cruz took to Twitter to invite Obama to take a look at the border itself amid a growing immigration crisis along the southern border with Mexico.
“If President Obama wants to have a real border meeting with @GovernorPerry, here are a couple suggested detours,” Cruz tweeted on Tuesday.

The maps show driving routes from Austin to the border town of Laredo (235 miles, 3 hours) and Dallas to border town McAllen (506 miles, 7 hours and 29 minutes).

Dem Rep. Cuellar: Obama Could Be at Border in a Half Hour

As seen on Fox and Friends

President Obama is being called on to visit the Mexican border, including by a member of his own party. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) made headlines for saying he hopes the border crisis doesn't become Obama's "Katrina moment," recalling criticism of President Bush for not doing more in the aftermath of the devastating hurricane.

Cuellar joined Fox and Friends this morning (watch above), saying the administration has tried to stop him from speaking out on this issue. Brian Kilmeade asked whether Cuellar has gotten "angry" calls from the White House after he started criticizing the president's decision not to visit the border on his trip to Texas.

"Yes I have [gotten calls]. But let me just say this. I'm more concerned not about who gets angry with me at the White House, I'm more concerned about my constituents," he said, refusing to identify who contacted him or what was discussed.

Cuellar said if Obama wants to fix the mess at the border he needs to go there and talk to Border Patrol agents who are seeing what is going on. He doesn't believe today's roundtable meeting 500 miles away - which includes Republican Gov. Rick Perry - will do much to solve the problems.
"He can get on Air Force One, be there in half an hour, stop traffic going down there, and he can be down there right after he finishes his fundraising," said Cuellar, adding that the border crisis represents the "perfect time" for the president to act quickly using an executive order.

Some have called on Obama to give Border Patrol agents more flexibility to deal with illegal immigrants who are fleeing from countries other than Mexico.

Cuellar also spoke out last night on The Kelly File. Watch that interview below.

Houston (CBS HOUSTON) – Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has joined Texas Gov. Rick Perry in calling on President Barack Obama to visit the Mexican border personally, with Cruz sending Obama actual directions to the border from the president’s planned fundraiser stops in Austin and Dallas.

Cruz took to Twitter to invite Obama to take a look at the border itself amid a growing immigration crisis along the southern border with Mexico.

“If President Obama wants to have a real border meeting with @GovernorPerry, here are a couple suggested detours,” Cruz tweeted on Tuesday.



The maps show driving routes from Austin to the border town of Laredo (235 miles, 3 hours) and Dallas to border town McAllen (506 miles, 7 hours and 29 minutes).

Perry also took to Twitter last week to invite President Obama to the border.

“@BarackObama: While in TX next week, I invite you to tour the border with me to see firsthand what is happening there. CC: @WhiteHouse,” tweeted Perry.

This comes after Perry rejected a handshake from Obama in exchange for a meeting to discuss the border crisis through a more “thoughtful discussion.” Obama is expected to attend Democratic fundraisers in Dallas and Austin, but no plans of visiting the border.

“I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but 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 in a letter to Obama. “I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue.”

Perry will meet with Obama, though, in Dallas to discuss the crisis in a meeting involving faith and local leaders.

Earlier this week, Perry criticized Obama’s seeming lack of urgency on the border crisis: “I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from,” Perry said on ABC’s “This Week.”
