Governor Perry today invited President Obama to visit Texas so that he could see firsthand the scope and effects of the escalating immigration crisis unfolding along the Texas-Mexico border.
“I write to invite you to visit Texas to see firsthand the humanitarian crisis unfolding as a result of the massive influx of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) crossing our border with Mexico. There is no doubt that I have disagreed with you and your administration on many policies over the years. This crisis, however, transcends any political differences we may have. The safety and security of our border communities is being threatened by this flood of illegal immigration, and the crisis worsens by the day.”
In his letter to President Obama, Gov. Perry also requests additional National Guard resources for border security efforts, as well as changes to federal policies that encourage, rather than discourage illegal immigration.
