Obama To Ask Congress For Billions To Deal With Border Crisis

President Obama will this week ask Congress for more than $2 billion to deal with the surge of people — including unaccompanied minors — who are entering the country illegally.

The increase in illegal border crossings has turned into a major political problem for the Obama Administration, and on Monday he will ask for Congress' help. But with relations continually strained between this administration and Republicans on capitol hill — there are no guarantees.

"We will be requesting additional resources and added flexibility to deal with the significant rise in apprehensions of children and individuals from Central America who are crossing into the United States in the Rio Grande Valley areas of the Southwest border," a White House official said of a letter Obama will send to congress on Monday. "The letter will make clear our intention to work with Congress on additional legislative authority and send up an emergency supplemental request when the Congress returns from recess to implement a unified, comprehensive Federal Government response."
