WASHINGTON – President Obama said he won’t go to the border because he doesn’t want to do a “photo-op.”

 

But a Texas congressman who just returned from the U.S. border with Mexico said the right presidential photo-op could actually solve the humanitarian crisis there, and stop the flood of illegal immigrants crossing into the country.

 
 
Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, said the head of the border guard union told him, “If President Obama stood by an airplane and returned the people to Guatemala, that, overnight, it would stop the flow.”

 

The numbers are astounding.

 

The New York Times reports an estimated 290,000 illegal immigrants, including 52,000 unaccompanied children, have crossed the border illegally in the Rio Grande Valley to cities around the county, just in recent months.

 

“There are more people coming across the border than we sent to invade France in World War II,” marveled Stockman.

 

“That is an invasion of our nation, and most of them are coming into Texas. We need to take quick action.”

 

Stockman and Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, were the first members of Congress to gain access inside one of the overcrowded border facilities where immigrants have been detained.
