house. president obama set to deliver a statement on immigration reform, a senior white house official tells fox news house speaker john boehner told the president the house will not vote on immigration reform this year. effectively killing chances that a broad bill passed by the senate could become law. so, that official says the president will announce a new effort to fix as much of the, quote, broken immigration system, unquote, as possible, through executive action. the president is still grappling with a summer of illegal immigrant children and families along the border. wendell is live at the white house. >> it's the issue of the kids the president wants to deal with first. tens of thousands of children from central america, guatemala, costa rica, countriesxñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñd with crime right now, whose parents have been sending them up through mexico, based on assurances they're receiving largely from drug cartel people,

these children will be allowed to stay in the united states, and in many cases they are. since the 2008 law requires the government to house them with relatives in the united states while their cases are being processed, often times that takes many months, sometimes years, and the children often do not show up for these cases. so the president wants more immigration judges, more i.c.e. lawyers, more asylum officers to more quickly and efficiently, according to the press secretary, evaluate the cases of these children, and he also wants greater authority in some cases to be able to send them back to their home countries, even though that's going to raise a tremendous humanitarian concern. >> as you well know, wendell, there are some who blame the president for this surge in young people coming across the border because of some of the executive actions he has already taken, and through his emphasis, support of things like the dream

act. >> well, that's true, and that being misconstrued, if you will, according to the white house by the drug cartels in central america to assure parents that despite the treacherous, the dangerous thousand, mile journey, often times on the tops of trains these children are undertaking to get to the mexican border, the united states has a policy of opening its doors to them if they make it that far. the white house wants to make clear through an education program in central america that this is not the case, but also wants to begin in some cases returning some of these children and that's going to, as i said, raise humanitarian concerns. how young is too young to return an onaccompanied minor to a country rid riddleed with crime. >> the president is going to be asking for money from congress to pay for this? >> we expect he will, but if congress is unwilling to adopt

the comprehensive immigration reform this year how willing to authorize a substantial funds for this? in the hundreds of millions of dollars we understand. >> whatting for the president, we understand he'll be taking to the podium in just a couple of seconds in the meantime, let's go out to our west coast news hub, trace gallagher, with a look at the immigration problem. >> it's important to point out to expounds on what wendell was saying, when you talk about turning these kids back in the bored -- 52,000 plus of unaccompanied children had crossed the border, mostly through texas, into the united states, and when you talk about sending these kids back there's no policy now or, we believe next future, that's going to turn these kids away at the door. as soon as unlike mexican citizens or mexican illegal immigrants who come into this country, john, if they're from central america the policy right now in the united states is they have to be turned over to health and human services and then they

are released to either familiar or or friends in the united states and they're supposed to make their way through the immigration court system, but in many case when they get to their family and friends in cities across theotg)xv country, they t coming back throughout the court system and just kind of lost in the system. keep in mind, they have opened a number of shelters in and around texas and arizona and california, and they're shipping these children to these shelters, processing them. if you talk to governor rick perry, he has a different take. he says the problem is they're not securing the border in the first place. he says how can you have an unsecured border and the border patrol agents who are down there along the border are spending time processing these undocumented children, instead of actually enforcing the laws along the border. they've opened the shelters in military bases and they're trying to process these things -- as the president comes out right now. >> vice-president joe biden

along with him. let's listen to the president. >> good afternoon, everybody. one year ago this month, senators of both parties, with support from the business community, labor, law enforcement, faith communities, came together to pass a common-sense immigration bill. independent experts said that bill would strengthen our borders, grow our economy, shrink our deficits. as we speak there are enough republicans and democrats in the house to pass an immigration bill today. i would sign it into law today. and washington would solve a problem in a bipartisan way. but for more than a year, republicans in the house of representatives have refused to allow an up or down vote on that

senate bill, or any legislation to fix our broken immigration system.wñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? and i held

immigrants to come out of the shadows and earn their citizen ship if they pay a penalty and pass a brown check, pay taxes, learn english, go to the back of the line, they're unwilling to stand up to the pea pa272" in orderñ7tq4j4(c

lead to them being sent back zqñ meso cot @

are gent humanitarian challenge and support border patrol agents who already apprehend and deport hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants every year. and understand, by the way, for to the most part, this night situation where the children are slipping through. they're being apprehended, but the problem is that our system is so broken so unclear, that folks don't know what the rules are. now, understand, there are a number of republicans who have been willing to work with us to pass real and common sense

immigration reform, and i want to thank them for their efforts. there are number of republican leaders in the senate who did excellent work, and deserve our thanks. and less visibly folks in the house who have been trying to work to get this done. and quietly, because it doesn't always help me to praise them -- i've expressed to them how much i appreciate the efforts they've made. i believe speaker boehner when he says he wants to pass an immigration bill. i think he genuinely wants to get something done. but last week, he informed me the runs will continue to block a vote on immigration reform, at least for the remainder of this year. some in the house republican caucus are using the situation

with unaccompanied children as the newest excuse to do nothing. i want everybody to think about that. their argument seems to be that because the system is broken, we shouldn't make an effort to fix it. it makes no sense. it's not on the level. it's just politics. plain and simple. there are others in the republican caucus in the house who are arguing that they can't act because their mad at me about using my executive authority too broadly. this also makes no sense. i don't preferd ttbóv taking administrative action. i'd rather see permanent fixes to the issue we face. certainly that's true on )jjy i've made that clear multiple times. i would love nothing more than bipartisan legislation to pass the house, the senate, land on my desk, so i can sign it.

that's true about immigration, that's true about the minimum wage, that's true about equal pay. a whole bunch of things where i would greatly prefer congress actually do something. i take executive action only when we have a serious problem, a serious issue, and congress chooses to do nothing. and in this situation, the failure of house republicans to pass a darn bill is bad for our security, bad for our economy, and bad for our future. so, while i will continue to push house republicans to drop the excuses and act, and i hope their con state opportunities will -- constituents will, too -- america cannot wait forever for them to act.

that's why today, i'm beginning a new effort at the fix as much of our immigration system as i can on my own. without congress. as the first step i'm directing the secretary of homeland security and the attorney general to move available and appropriate resources from our interior to the border. protecting public safety and deporting dangerous criminals has been and will remain the top priority but we're going to refocus our efforts to make sure we do to make sure we keep our borders secure. i've also directed secretary johnson and attorney general holder to identify additional actions my administration can take on our own, within my existing legal authorities, to do what congress refuses to do and fix as much of our immigration system as we can. if congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours. i expect the recommendations before the end of the summer.

and i intend to adopt those recommendations without further delay. of course, even with aggressive steps on my part, administrative action alone will not adequately address the problem. the reforms that will do the most to strengthen our businesses, our workers, and our entire economy, will still require an act of congress. and i repeat, these are reforms that are already enjoy the wide support of the american people. it's very rare where you get labor, business, evangelicals, law enforcement, all agreeing on what needs to be done, and at some point that should be enough. normally that is enough. the point of public service is to solve public problems, and those of us who have the privilege to serve have a responsibility to do everything

in our power to keep americans safe and to keep the doors of opportunity open. and if we do, then one year from now, not only would our economy and our security be stronger but maybe the best and the brightest from around the world who come to study here would stay and create jobs here. maybe company that play by the rules will no longer be undercut by companies that don't. maybe more families who have been living here for years, whose children are often u.s. citizens, who are neighbors and friends, and whose children are our kid' friends and go to school with them, and play all ball teams with them, maybe those families will get to stay together. but much of this only happens if americans continue to push congress to get this done. so i've told speaker boehner that even as i take those steps that i can within my existing

legal authority, to make the immigration system work better, i'm going to continue too reach out to house republicans, in the hope that they deliver a more'm solution with a comprehensive bill. maybe it will be after the mid-terms when they're less worried about politics. maybe next year. whenever it is, they will find me a willing partner. i have been consistent in saying that i am prepared to work with them even on a bill that i don't consider perfect. and the senate will was a good example of the capacity to compromise and get this done. the only thing i can't do is stand by and do nothing while waiting for them to get their act together. and i want to repeat what i said

earlier. concerned about me, taking too many executive actions, the best solution to that is passing bills. pass a bill. n2ç don't just say no. on something that everybody agrees needs to be done. because if we pass a bill, that will supplant whatever i've done administratively, will have a strike tour there that works and it will be permanent. and people can make plans. ?ñ?ñ based on the law. and there will be clarity. both here inside this country and outside it. let me just cloves by saying,

the friday is the fourth of july. it's the day we celebrate our independence. and all 0 the things that make this country so great, and each year michelle and i host a few hundred service members and wounded warriors and their families right here on the lawn for a barbecue and fireworks on the mall. some of the service members coming this year are unique. because they signed up to serve, to sacrifice, potentially to give their lives for the security of this country, even though they weren't yet americans. that's how much they love this country. they were prepared to fight and die for an america they did not yet fully belong to. i think they've earned their stripes in more ways that one. that's why on friday morning we're going to naturalize them in a ceremony right here at the white house.

this independence day will be their first day as american citizens. one of the things we celebrate on friday, one of the things that makes this country great, we're a nation of immigrants. our people come from every corner of the globe. that's what makes us special. that's what makes us unique, and throughout our history we have come here in wave after wave -- from everywhere, understanding that there was something about this place where the whole was greater than the sum of its parts, that all the different cultures and ideas and energy would come together and create something new. we won this country's freedom together. we built this country together. we defended this country together. it makes us special, it makes us

strong. it makes us americans. that's worth celebrating. and that's what i#;#vày want, nt house republicans but all of us as americans to remember. thanks very minute. >> a somewhat pet hunt president obama there at the rose garden ceremony, announcing because the house has told him there will be no vote on immigration reform this year, he intends to do whatever he can to try to get something done regarding the situation on the border. wendell goaler -- goler is still there. the president blasted john boehner and the republicans in the house. what's their answer? >> they're going to be frustrated that once again the president is attempting to go around congress. this, of course, coming on the heels of last friday's supreme

court ruling that his attempt to bypass their ability to block recess appointments was in fact unconstitutional. the president feels he has no choice. he has a humanitarian crisis with tens of thousands of children being brought to the border or coming to the mexican border, and if they are not from mexico, if they're from central america, they are let into this country and put on a docket for immigration cases that in many cases they don't show up for. and in that regard, the president was wrong. he said, most of the time -- in most cases the legal process results in these children being sent back to costa rica, guatemala. in fact in most cases these children do not show up for their legal court hearings, immigration hearings, which takes months, if not years, because of the backlog in the meantime they're placed with

relatives in this country, and they simply don't show up. now, one of the things the president is going to try to do is expedite this process, get more i.c.e. officers. it's not a matter of these children sneaking over the border. in many cases they turn up at the border and turn themselves in but he wants to get more i.c.e. officers, expedite the legal process, and also wants authority to send some of these children back once they've been processed, and that's going to raise issues how young is too young to be sent back to somewhere in central america on your own. >> wendell, thank you. trace gallagher also keeping tabs on this story from our west coast news hub. trace, they have come, you say, tens of thousands of them, over the last six months. the president said the system is so broken, so unclear, that folks don't know what the rules are. well there are rules. just they're not being followed. >> they're not being followed, and in central america, john, where these people are coming from, they believe the gates are

open and they can show up and if they get one foot on american soil, they get to stay. a couple of important things to pick out of the press conference is that he talked about sending more forces to the border in the form of, as he did in his letter to congressad legallers, immigration judges, immigration lawyers, and asylum officers. there was very unclear exactly how many agencies would be sending to the border itself to help secure the bored. these unaccompanied children not just crossing the border and trying to sneak across, they're actually seeking out border patrol agents and turning themselves in, and the president also said by the end of the summer he wants more suggestions from people to tell him better ways to go about securing the border and handle this problem. we have had 52,000 unaccompanied minors who have already crossed the border as of two weeks ago. by thened of the year they think that number could be up to 150,000. that's 20 times more than we had two years ago.

so, the question is, is it -- are we able to wait? that's what the texas governor rick perry is asking, arizona governor jan brewer, asking these questions, we cannot afford to wait. we need to send our own forces down to secure our own borders. the president is certainly sending people down there by executive order. the question is, how many aside from the lawyers and the processors will actually go to the border and do what these southern states' governors want, which is to protect the borders themselves and not let anybody cross because once they cross, as wendell said, they're going to be in the united states for at least months, likely years, to make their way through the immigration courts if they show up to their immigration court proceedings, john. >> governor perry called it a national disaster. the situation he sees there in texas. trace gallagher, thank you. a fox urgent now. ham mass will pay. that from the israeli prime

minister benjamin netanyahu after his government confirmed the israeli military found the bodies of the three teenagers who went missing nearly three week ago. senior lead ares of hamas deny they had anything to do with the kidnapping but prime minister netanyahu blames the organization saying this teenagers were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by wild beastsment one of the teens held dual citizenship with the united states and israel. the bodies turned up in a field in the west bank near the city where the teens disappeared in june. >> two americans who went to north korea as tourists willso soon go on trial on charges of committing hostile acts against the country, that according to the government's official news agency. reuters reported the united states has requested their release out of what officials call humanitarian concern. diplomatic sources tell the "associated press," one man, 56-year-old jeffrey fewle from ohio, is accused of leaving a

the sunni militants sweeping across iraq and syria have declared an islamic state and demanding muslims around the world swear allegiance to their leader. there's a wide swath of land capturedded in iraq and syria. the pentagon reports close to 200 american military advisers are in iraq to help government forces recapture territory the extremists have taken. jennifer griffin is live from washington. jennifer, isis has changed its name now. what's the significance? >> well, nothing, really, other than laying out its future goals and agenda to bring all of the world's muslims into a caliphet

and declaring themselves the islamic state. >> this is not the first border we will break. >> that fightert is one of more than a thousand estimated foreign fighters who have gone to syria and now iraq to establish a terrorist state. the form are iraqi prisoner who was released when the u.s. military was preparing to leave iraq, this fighter is from chile and speaks in english as he taunts the united states. >> look how much money american spends to fight islam jurick isis fighters are making more gains in syria after looting the iraqi arms depots filled with u.s., made weapons. >> when you talk to middle east experts what's the reaction to what is going on in the region and this name change? >> the other radical islamic groups have called the isis declaration delusional. middle east experts say that no one should call isis by this new name.

>> we should still call them what they are. we should not somehow give legitimacy to a name which they're giving themselves. >> middle east watchers say it's a terrorist state that looks more and more like a sanctuary like that found between pakistan and afghanistan where al qaeda and its allies continue to plot against the u.s. and others, john. >> jennifer griffin, thank you. for more on the growing crisis in iraq, let's bring in robert young pelton, terrorism expert and filmmaker. robert, this guy, has he bitten off more than he can chew in >> i think so. you typically have to have the religious chops to claim if you're the successor to muhammad. he does not have that. he says he has a doctorate in divinity studies from the university of bag dad.

>> he did have the chops to seize huge chunks of iraq and syria. how did he make that happen? >> that's a very different story. the isis is essentially a bunch of old baathist military officers that used to work for saddam hussein. they have military skills and learned how to self-finance their jihad, if you want to call it that, by basically kidnapping, extortion, taxing, and robbing banks. that's not necessarily a religious mandate. thirdly, they're in a power vacuum. there's no one there to actually fight them and it's a very small group of people who are about to be wiped out. >> but the baathists have not been very religious so this seems like a stretch. >> you're looking at forced projection, all these videos and statements, the fact they're taking the high ground by saying, we're bigger than al qaeda, is really just p.r. there's nothing to back it up. if islamic scholars sit down and

decide this guy will by their leader, that's fine, but that's never happened. you're seeing a lot of pomp and circumstance and p.r.,úzñ?ñ?ñ?ñt actual gains. >> christians have been paying an.÷ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ?ñ? islamic tax for , executions in the main square. this is a bloody and fierce group, really. >> yes. and this where is they've excelled. they're well past justice. they've gone out of their way to be extremely violin, extremely cruel. you saw the videos of them executing iraqi soldiers and the crucifixions, five men in the town square. they want you to watch this video, but on the ground these people were invited in by the tribal groups we answer had an alliance with who were disenchanted in the maliki government. he decided to stop paying the tribes and they invited in isis and this is what you're seeing,

paramilitary force being used to get some type of representation in the iraqi government. >> all comes down to money and power at the en. thank you. investigators say the parents of a toddler two died in a hot car each did research on the subject before hand. now dad is accused of murder. we have the latest on the case next. óqoqúúñ@

the mother of the toddler who roasted the death in a hot parked car in georgia admitted

she also researched children dying in hot vehicles. that's according to newly released court documents. police have said the father searched online for information on hot car deaths as well. search warrants showed he told investigatores he was fearful it could happen. employs charged the father with murder. they say on june 18th he weapon to work, left the child in his car seat for seven agonizing hours as temperatures climb into the 90s, turning the vehicle into an oven. the father said it was an accident, he forgot to take his son to daycare. the family held a funeral for the boy over the weekend. according the atlanta journal constitution newspaper, the father called into the service from jail and spoke to mourners by speaker phone. lea gabrielle, what did the father say? >> the little boy's name was cooper, and the jail wouldn't release cooper's father to attend, but as you mentioned he did call in, and according to local reports the crowd applauded him when he spoke.

he thanked them for their support and said, quote, cooper never did anything to anyone. he went on to say, i'm just sorry that i can't be there. well, cooper's mother also reportedly spoke at the funeral and said she didn't blame her husband. instead she actually defended him saying, quote, ross was and is a wonderful father. while we did reach out to the family but they have not returned our calls. >> what else is in this court documents. >> harris was arrested on the same day cooper died, and he told authorities he had forgotten to drop his son off at daycare. police say he had taken cooper to break fast that morning and he even returned to his car mid-day to put something inside while the boil was still sitting there. according to the warrant, which i have a copy of here, police searched the home in the hours after cooper's death looking for any evidence of neglect or child abuse. now, they seizees two computers from the family home and a digital media player, also searched harris' car where cooper died, and took custody of

two laptops and an ipad. as you mentioned both parents admitted to police they searched online for how hot it needs to be for a child to die in a car. the medical examiner's office said that cooper died of elevated body temperature, and it believes his death was a homocide, and the father is scheduled to appear in court this thursday. >> lea gabrielle, thank you. more now from fox news legal analyst mercedes kolon, and dan shore, former prosecutor. bad enough when one of this things happen and it's a pure accident, and that does help. when you offend out that apparently both parents knew or conducted these online searches about death in hot cars, what does that make it, premeditated murder? >> that's what the authorities believe. the fact that both parents simultaneously or separately, looked at this type of death, for this child, and then suddenly the child dies in the same way, frankly, if you have

that type of research you would do everything possible to make sure it doesn't happen you. take precautions. what struck me is the fact this daycare was actually at home depot at the father's work of business. how would he forget his child when all he has to do is when he reports to work is drop the child off at the daycare. >> the father says, we were just -- i was just trying to research -- i was afraid this could happen to my child and i was researching what it would take. how do you go about attacking that kind of a defense? >> the charges don't require proving intent. the charge is felony murder, based on criminal negligence, bases on the child endangerment count the have to prove he was negligent in a criminal way, left the child in a car, had such a huge risk to the child that was ignored and led to death. they don't have to prove they intended to harm the child and that makeses easier for prosecution to prove murder.

>> the mother admits show conducted the same kinds of online searches for death in hot cars, but she has not been charged yet. why not? >> probably because in furtherrens of the conspiracy, i she has to take some action in furtherance of the murder of the child, and they haven't found that type of evidence. they did find the fact there's research but didn't lunk the research to the death of the child yet. depends on what happens. there's a privilege between husband and wife. you can't have the husband testify against the wife unless the prosecutor comes to them and says, we'll strike a deal with you but you have to implicate your wife in the process and that's the only way to

part of this conspiracy to commit murder or child endangerment. >> how do you shoot down their defense and say, you were actually looking for information on how to kill your child? >> that's going to be so off. and i also think jurors in general just don't want to believe that a parent is capable of killing his their children. so they'll be flooded with item from relatives, friends, they loved their child, they adored their child could never harm their child, all of that and it's very difficult. jurors don't want to believe it. >> something like 12,000 people who signed an online petition in support of the father, but then some of the details started coming out, and that support seems to be falling off. >> and as i said before the

prosecution just has to show criminal negligence to establish felony murder, which means a gross deviation from the normal standard of care. leaving a child in a car for seven hours in the heat, seems to be a gross deviation from the standard of care an ordinary person would use. >> thank you both. >> thank you. >> a setback for the white house as the supreme court makes a major ruling on contraception and religious freedom. we have the decision and a along at what it all means. you drop 40 grand on a new set of wheels, then... wham! a minivan t-bones you. guess what: your insurance company will only give you 37-thousand to replace it.

begun the process of taking control of his life and he has a chronic disease that will require treatment for the rest of his life. he announced in april he was getting treatment for alcohol addiction after he admitted to smoking crack in a drunken stupor. the nation's highest court has ruled that some employers with religious objections can opt out of providing contraception coverage under president obama's healthcare law. the 5-4 decision is the first time the supreme court ruled that businesses can hold religious views under federal law, but the ruling only applies who that thities called closely held companies. with me now, a reporter for the hill. it was chief justice john roberts who made the difference this time. >> it was. a couple years ago when the upheld the obamacare, john roberts side if with president obama, this time he was more

traditionally conservative, and this wasn't a surprise. this court has upheld a number of religious protections. a couple months ago they upheld the right of a town in new york to have a prayer before the up to meeting. they've also been very consistent in deeming a corporation a person under the constitution, of course the 2010 citizens united case. they gave corporations the freedom of speech. now kind of extended that to include freedom of religion. >> how big a blow is this decision to obamacare? >> well, politically, a lot of discussions about how big a blow it's going to be. the pendulum has been swinging back and fort on the law since it passed. it's a huge victory for president obama, and then you have the supreme court upholding it, another victory. then the botched rollout, and it looks like the thing will be a disaster at the polls in november, and then the web site fixes itself, and enrollment spikes, and then now you have this decision. so, it's swinging back anding

for and we don't know what it's going to mean in november but anything can happen between now and then, and i think we have to see what happens in october probably. >> so, two years ago, when the supreme court upheld obamacare, and justice -- the chief justice, john roberts, voted with the majority toup hold is, this time he joined the four who voted against that decision, in mandating that the court does not allow or does not require the private businesses pay for contraception coverage that they disagree with. kind of an interesting change for justice roberts. >> well, an important distinction to make. the businesses never had to pay for anything. when this was announced -- the law was passed and the congress said, employers who have more than 50 workers have to cover comprehensive care, and hhs said comprehensive care includes contraception there was an outcry and obama stepped in and

said, okay, we'll tweak the rule so it will be the employer's insurance company that will pay the cost, not the employer. so there's not financial incentive for any business to jump son the hobby lobby band wagon so to speak. millions of women benefit from the law, and you can't imagine advantage of this if that's the right phrase, just because it would be a p.r. disaster, i think, in a lot of cases and also, there's no financial incentive to do it. so the practical effect, what percentage of women who were benefiting from the prom who will lose their coverage, it will be small and politically this is where it will be significant. >> mike willis, thank you. >> thank you. >> back with more from the news deck after this.
