Texas Gov. Rick Perry charged Sunday that President Obama is 'not interested' in dealing with the thousands of immigrant children crossing the United States border.
Perry said on CBS' 'Face the Nation' he had warned the President two years ago about the increasing number of unaccompanied children coming over the border.
'It could have been stopped years ago had the administration listened, had the administration been focused on the border with Texas,' he said.
'Time after time you see a response from this administration that says, 'You know what, we're really not that interested in the southern border of the United States.' '
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) maintained 'the border is secure.'

It depends on who you ask. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, in an interview on "Face the Nation," said the answer is no. He argued that the surge of unaccompanied children from Central America coming through Mexico and into the United States could have been stopped years ago if the administration had just listened to him.
