Obama to Latin leaders: Help with border

WASHINGTON — Pressing for action on Friday, President Barack Obama urged Central American presidents and congressional Republicans at home to help ease the influx of minors and migrant families crossing the southwest border of the U.S.

While citing progress in addressing the flow, he called on House Republicans to act on his request for emergency spending. With one week left before Congress‘ August recess, Republicans were trying to unite behind a plan that would spend about one-fourth of what Obama requested.

“It is my hope that Speaker Boehner and House Republicans will not leave town for the month of August for their vacations without doing something to help solve this problem,” Obama said. “We need action and less talk”

Obama and Vice President Joe Biden met at the White House with the presidents of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
