President Obama heads to Texas today for fundraisers (naturally) and a meeting in Dallas to discuss “growing immigration issues at the border.” According to the White House, Obama’s stop in Texas will not include a visit to the border to see the crisis firsthand.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz isn’t happy about it:
A sad state of affairs when a President has time to attend fundraisers in Texas but not to address his Admin's humanitarian crisis on border

A suggestion was offered to Sen. Cruz:
Dear @sentedcruz: Could you send the White House a map of pool halls along the Texas border – That might sweeten the deal

That might do the trick!
