With recess looming, will House GOP pass plan to mitigate border crisis?

Congress is wrapping up business before members leave for the August recess on Friday.

Among the items on the agenda is legislation to deal with the surge of children crossing the U.S.- Mexico border. President Obama earlier proposed an almost $4 billion package to deal with the more than 57,000 migrants coming into the country from Central America in recent months.

House Republicans are looking to slim that proposal down.

Josh Gerstein, senior White House reporter for POLITICO, joins the show to explain.
