CBS White House correspondent Major Garrett reports the ongoing border crisis or what the White House refers to as a "humanitarian situation" has become a "big political headache" for President Obama.
Both Republicans and Democrats have expressed frustration with Obama’s handling of the situation.
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D., Texas) on Tuesday called on Obama to visit the site of the U.S. southern border crisis on The Kelly File, saying it would take no more than 30 to 45 minutes of his time and would demonstrate leadership.
"I understand, he’s doing fundraising, and I thank him as a Democrat for doing that, but he can get on Air Force One right after the last fundraiser, go down to the border, take half an hour, 45 minutes at most to fly down there, and then go see the situation," he said. "I think that is going to be very important."
"It’s optics and I think that people on the border want to see the president down there to make sure that he understands," Cuellar added.
