Rick Perry to Obama: Inspect the border to see illegal immigrants

Texas Gov. Rick Perry Wednesday challenged President Obama to inspect the Tex-Mex border to see firsthand the tidal wave of illegal immigrants overwhelming the border states.

“If the president of the United States is really serious about securing that border, we can show him how to do that. I haven’t even had a phone call from the president,” Perry told Fox News’ “Fox and Friends.”

The White House fired back, saying: “The most important thing they can do is not offer public invitations, but lend their support to comprehensive immigration reform.”
