Trip to the border before heading back to washington where his plan to address the border crisis is far from a sure thing. For president barack obama and Texas Governor rick perry, the showdown was more of a sitdown. Different ends of a roundtable discussion in dallas on the crisis at the border. Just had a good meeting with governor perry. Reporter president later told reporters his beef is not with perry, its with congress, who has a 4 billion request to deal with the emergency. Are our folks more interested in solving of problem or more interested in politics . If they are interested in solving the problem, then this can be solved. Reporter perry was Less Charitable releasing a statement calling for the National Guard and more drones on the border, adding the crisis has been created by bad Public Policy, in particular the failure to secure the border. Back in washington, critics from both parties slammed the president s decision to attend fundraisers in texas. Hes visiting democratic fat cats to collect checks. Reporter instead of traveling to the border. It does bother me. I wish the president of the United States were going down and visiting the children and visiting the site. Reporter the president wasnt budging. This isnt theater. This is a problem. Im not interested in photoops. Im interested in solving a problem. Reporter but white house officials are worried critics just might kill the border bill. The president just asked for 3. 7 billion. For less than 20 million we can fly them all back first class so think about how stupid our policy is. Reporter as the president told perry he wont use an executive action this time around. And hi to remind him im getting sued right now by mr. Boehner apparently for going ahead and acting instead of going through congress. Reporter now the white house is also seeking new legal authorities to speed up the deportations of those children who are coming in from Central America because they have special protections under the law. Later today a bipartisan bill designed to do just that is expected to be introduced up on capitol hill, but, kate, that bill is also facing opposition, this time from democrats. And you mentioned that hearing featuring jay johnson, hell be up on capitol hill later today. Hes expected to testify according to Administration Officials that ive talked to that without that money on the border they could run out of space to care for those children very, very quickly. Kate . Both sides saying this is a humanitarian crisis. How they want to deal with it, thats exactly where things split off. Jim acosta at the white house, thanks so much. Jim, well get back to you. I did have a chance to speak with governor rick perry after he had that meeting with the president. Here is some of our conversation. You meet with the president after quite a bit of fanfare. He leaves the meeting saying that some of what you said makes quite a bit of sense. How would you describe the meeting. Are you guys on the same page . I certainly think that what i said made a lot of sense, and i dont know were on the same page or not. The president said philosophically he agreed with the things that i talked about because i said we need to secure the border. You need to put these National Guard troops on there. We need to change these policies that are enticing people to come to the United States, and these policies that im talking about are where that if youre from one of the Central American countries rather than mexico youre treated differently. These incentives, if you will, that if you come into the United States you can stay. Stop those policies and secure the border, and at that particular point in time it staunches substantially this flow of individuals. Then the United StatesBorder Patrol can back to doing what they are supposed to do which is being on guard for those either drug dealers or those with terrorist ties back that are penetrating or attempting to penetrate our border. You have requested that he still come down to the border. Youre saying that its very important to see. He says that he doesnt want to be part of theater, that hes not interested in photoops. Its not theater. Hes basically saying thats what that would be. Its not theater. The American People expected to see their president when theres a disaster. He showed up at sandy. Why cant he show up on the border of texas . On the issue of border, youre talking about the National Guardsmen there, if you have a surge of National Guardsmen no matter how many people you put at the border, youve still got to deal with the crisis, the immediate crisis at hand, what to do with the tens of thousands of kids that are already through and already sitting here on our side of the border. What do you do with those kids, governor . But you first have to staunch thats a symptom. The children are a symptom of policies that have enticed them to come. The first thing you have to do is stop the flow because if we dont, then the problem is not going to be say you stop the flow though. You know this problem. What do you do with the kids . At that particular point in time they can follow the the rule of law that we have and process them very quickly and send them back to the countries that they are from. The real humanitarian thing from my perspective is to first not give them reasons to be coming here to begin with. The other one is to reunite these families together, not, you know, continue policies that rip these families apart and send children by themselves or mothers and a baby away from their family. Thats not humanitarian. One of the things that the president said is a lot of what you have suggested is part of this emergency funding that hes asking congress for. He says it hits the targets that youre talking about, especially trying to get these children through the immigration system faster to process them faster if they do make it over here. Are you going to come out and support him to have that passed . Im going to support the president to secure the border because if he doesnt do that first, im not sure the American People are going to trust the president , our congress to do what is required. They look back in history which has not particularly treated them well from the standpoint of Border Security. So when the president and the president could do this very quickly, again, and i told him today. I said, mr. President , take the action. I said put the onus on congress, but you first have to act, mr. President. Thats what leadership is all about. He says when talking about congress, he says that he cant put the onus on congress because they are not acting. He says it all comes down to if they want to take action or if they want to play politics, and he is pointing the finger squarely on republicans saying republicans are trying to have it both ways. They want to tell him to do something, but at the same time they want to criticize him for taking unilateral action and sue him over it. Does he have a point on that . Well, i think when you look at the president s actions, particularly on this issue, you have democrats that are asking for the president to come to the border, both congressman vela and congressman Henry Quellar have asked him to come. Without talking about the prescription of what to do about stemming the surge, stemming this flood that you think is so important and then also dealing with this crisis of all of these kids on the border, him showing up at the border, thats not going to do anything about it. Its got to be dealt with either with governors like yourself or through congress. So actions are really important. Yeah. And unless we see this president acting and the American People are going to think that he does not care about securing the border, i think thats the real political issue for this president. I think it makes sense for a president or a governor to go to the site of a Natural Disaster armahnmade disaster. I dont understand why the president has dug his heels in and basically said to democrats and republicans alike im not going because it will look political. On this latest crisis, i have to ask you, governor. You said last month that the administration on this issue was incredibly inept or they are in on this somehow. After your meeting today with the president , which one is it, governor . Well, i dont know, and thats the reason i asked that question a month ago was why havent we had any more action out of this administration . And, you know, again, the president has come to texas. The president has gracious and allowed me to give him my insight on this, and i appreciate that, but the fact is he still hasnt acted, and so actions are really important in this process. But words are important here as well, and youre saying, as republicans believe, that the president s words and talking about the d. R. E. A. M. Act previously, that has sent the wrong message to Central America, so words do matter in this debate. Do you really honestly believe, as you said in the interview last month, that the administration might be in on this somehow . I mean, youre suggesting theres some kind of conspiracy here. No. What im suggesting is that this administration and their words and their actions or the lack thereof are part of the problem. I think youre putting the words of conspiracy in my mouth which i did not say. No, you actually did say the word i hate to be conspiratorial. And i hate to be conspiratorial, i hate to be conspiratorial. I did not say i was. How can you move that many people from Central America across mexico and then into the United States without there being a fairly coordinated effort. I dont know. Im just asking, governor, because words matter. I totally understand, but the real issue here rather than getting into a semantics battle is whether or not this president is going to lead this country. Can you work hand in hand though with the president that you criticize so harshly on an issue that is so important to you . Can you get past the politics . I did today, so i suspect we will. Governor, thank you for your time. Thank you, kate. Next hour, were going to talk with a democratic congressman Henry Cuellar from the state about the new bill that he plans to introduce, bipartisan bill, to change the law which would make it easier to process and deport undocumented children from Central America, one of the elements that is part of this, i guess we can say, the prescription they are trying to cobble together to solve the crisis at the border. Interesting interview. Pay no attention to what i said, lets not talk about the words that i actually said out loud. Words matter on both sides on this, and thats why youve got to ask. Got to press him on it. In the middle east, more blood shot overnight as we learn that israeli authorities have suspended a Police Officer whom they say was involved in the brutal beating of an american teenager in jerusalem, and overnight the deadly conflict between israel and hamas has only intensified. More Fire Exchanged across the gaza strip as the Israeli Defense system iron dome intercepts rockets over densely populated tel aviv. The death toll, it is climbing this morning. The palestinian president calling the situation genocide. Cnns diana magnay is right on the border between gaza and israel and has literally been watching rockets fly over her head all morning. Diana, give me a sense of the latest. Thats right, john. We just saw four or five go straight up into the air out of gaza in this direction really. We were waiting to see if there was some kind of intercept by iron dome missiles, but there was none, but the rockets seemed to have gone in a direction that we cant identify. Iron dome has proven extremely effective in intercepting any kind of rockets that have aimed towards large civilian population areas like tel aviv and jerusalem but the sirens are sounding here as the air raids continue in the gaza strip behind me. Lets take a look. Overnight israel continued its aerial assault on gaza, striking more than 100 targets. Its aim, to reduce the flow of rockets and to severely cripple hamas operational capabilities. Gaza fired dozens of rockets overnight, some hit the ground and others intercepted by the iron dome defense shield. The burning skies above israels border with gaza a clear sign that this fight is far from over. Both sides say the other will pay the price for the continued onslaught. What am i supposed to do, just to receive and count the rockets or try to defend our people and ourselves, this is what were doing. We cant start the war today. They started it already several days ago. Reporter hamas rockets scorching israels countryside on wednesday. Militants in gaza released this video on wednesday showing a Rocket Launcher getting into position, and then firing more than a dozen rockets towards israel. Some hospitals there now moving newborns into makeshift icus. As the number of palestinian casualties in gaza continues to rise. Over 70 killed and more than 500 injured. People in gaza left picking up the pieces of their shattered homes and livelihoods. Now, john, i think you can just see the smoke from where an israeli air strike hit just as we were running that report. The air strikes, as you can see, continuing. The question what is the end game here . Israel has been authorized or the Defense Forces have been authorized to bring in 40,000 reservists. 20,000 have already been called up. Ground troops will clearly up the ante considerably if they do move into the gaza strip. If you see a situation where they start having facetoface combat. Its questionable whether israel has any kind of appetite for a long drawnout war and what that would achieve, whether its possible to root out hamas and who might take its place in a very densely populatedyear where there are dozen of perhaps more dangerous militant groups. Back to you. Well continue to watch this situation and we urge you, diana, to stay staff. Headlines now.
