be sure to follow us on twitter at jer@fnc. thanks so much, panel. and especially to all of you for watching. hope to see you right here next week. i . the immigrant child crisis that's taking such a toll on our southern border now being felt in other parts of the country. like the officials in two states say hundreds of those illegal immigrant children are being sent to their communities without any notice. hello, everyone, welcome to america's news headquarters. glad you could join me. also, today, governor rick perry calling on president obama to send in the national guard to help deal with this monumental crisis. >> this flood of children is pulling away the border patrol from their normal duties of keeping bad people, keeping the
12:31 pm
drug cartels, they're being distracted, so that i would suggest to you is a very obvious reason that those national guard troops play an important role. >> dominique live in our los angeles newsroom with the latest. hey, dom. >> hey there, arthel. one of the efforts is to get the kids away from the border area so they can maintain the border safe. what we've seen emerge is 950 children that have been moved to the state of nebraska and illinois. but this has happened without those states' authorities being informed by the federal government. and it's causing an almighty rou this weekend. there are no details specifically about how these kids actually got there. and that's what's got the governors and the senators of these states extremely upset. this is the latest map of where these kids are now being distributed around the united states. i'll show you and i'll explain who is where.
12:32 pm
the yellow states, this is where we have established facilities, where we know large numbers of the 57,000 kids that have come over the border, since october of last year, are. the yellow states are where we've got actual facilities opening soon by the federal government. but the red states that you see, that is illinois and that is nebraska, this is where we've learned this weekend that all of a sudden the federal government is starting to put the children in facilities there without public accountability. that is raising the question of why the secrecy from the federal government. listen. >> my worry is the administration doesn't want people to know what the condition of these places are, how the kids are being treated in detention. these detention facilities should be completely open to the press, and to the american people, so that we know how -- what the conditions are. we should be able to talk to the kids who are there. >> one of the big issues is access to the children.
12:33 pm
very coordinated. as far as the human and health services, they said they are under privacy laws in terms of sharing details on who these kids are, where exactly they're sending them. critics think they're actually hiding behind that as a shield. there's very much anger over the treatment as well. we've been seeing protests in the past few days at a variety of facilities around the country, the concern whether the children are being given the right health services, whether they're getting the right visitation limits. and also, their general treatment in question. now, we have some more details on the latest efforts to stem this tide coming across the border. right now we have that border working group set up by the house speaker john boehner, currently the chair of that ranger, who is the representative from texas. she is currently in honduras meeting with the president there to try and help dispel the rumor
12:34 pm
that's going through central america, that if you come to the united states now, there is a virtual amnesty in place and you'll be allowed to stay. details of her efforts to come out during the course of the next few days. >> definitely. dominick, thank you very much. i want to show you new video obtained by foxnews.com. it shows people caught by the u.s. border patrol. foxnews.com capturing this footage while on assignment in texas. apparently revealing just how easy it could be in some places to sneak across the border. an estimated 35,000 people are doing just that every month, with the numbers expected to rise in the coming months. and we now go to the middle east, where thousands of people are fleeing gaza city amid an increasingly bloody israeli offensive against hamas. both sides ignoring calls for a cease-fire, with israeli benjamin netanyahu saying he doesn't know when the fighting will end. >> we face a very, very brutal
12:35 pm
terrorist enemy. we're using missile defense to protect our civilians and they're using their civilians to protect their missiles. i've spoken to president obama, and a good number of world leaders, and they understand israel is in a right of self-defense. >> we have a reporter live from gaza city. it's nighttime. what does that mean over there, john? >> reporter: well, the fire fighting is increasing. what we're hearing are helicopter gunships, most likely israeli helicopters firing on hamas militant locations. this is significant, because we've seen the heavy artillery fire from navy vessels offshore. we've seen the air strikes, including many today. but we have not yet seen helicopter gunships. what does this mean? that's unclear. whether this is signaling
12:36 pm
another ground offensive like we saw last night, an intense fire fight, when israeli special forces stormed the beach. just about a half a mile north of our location here. and engaged in first small arms fire, that then intensified over the course of about an hour. into heavy artillery fire. we saw the tracers come across at one point, we thought we were in the cross fire. the air strikes ongoing throughout the night into the early morning hours. this is why the israeli military has urged, has warned people here in north gaza and gaza city to escape their homes, to evacuate their homes and seek shelter. now, we went to one of those shelters -- hold on, i thought i heard something. we went to one of those shelters early this afternoon, seeing many people, many children, who left their homes in the middle of the night when the fire fight was intensifying. grabbing whatever they could, clothing, food, anything,
12:37 pm
mattresses, carpets to sleep on, to get out of the cross fire, to get out of the wear. more than 6,000 people sought shelter, sought refuge in these shelters. nine, in fact, here, in the northern part of the strip. six in gaza city alone. in terms of the helicopter gunships tonight, what is the significant? is that signaling another ground offensive? that's unclear. what is clear is that it appears right now, that the fighting is intensifying, and that, arthel, is likely to continue overnight into the early-morning hours when the fighting goes into day seven. arthel? >> john, thank you very much for that report there. difficult to see the human toll, though i know it's part of it. let's move on now. secretary of state john kerry is in vienna, alongside fellow foreign ministers in the effort to try to stop iran from possibly building a nuclear bomb. it is the latest round of
12:38 pm
nuclear talks with tehran. the multi-national negotiations are just days away from that july 20th deadline for an agreement. but with no deal so far, they are expected to extend that deadline to allow even more time for negotiations. we'll get you back home now, where some big cities like chicago and seattle are looking to boost their minimum wage and put more money in the pockets of low-wage workers. but could those good intentions backfire, and have negative consequences for local business. let's talk about it with brenda buttner. hey, brenda, good to see you. >> nice to see you. >> the minimum wage in chicago might go up to $13 an hour. the mayor is behind that. >> that's a 58% increase. >> yeah. that's a big -- a huge increase. >> yeah. >> i'm going to bundle something in and you can break it down. private companies like ikea decided to increase the minimum wage without government prodding, if you will. is it a trend, or is this
12:39 pm
something you look at by a case-by-case, city-by-city basis? >> you made an slept point which is, basically, do you want government to tell you how to set your wages, or should a business set its own wages? i think the trend really is to raise minimum wage. it's very -- in an election year it's very positive. it gets a lot of votes. but the truth is that you have to look at it in a case-by-case basis. chicago has a huge unemployment rate. seattle, much lower. san jose, san francisco, which recently raised their minimum wages, much lower unemployment rate. when businesses are told they have to raise their labor prices have to cut in another way. either they'll raise prices or cut hours. and we saw it in the survey since the last time the federal minimum wage was raised that 60% raised prices for consumers, and 40% cut hours. so it's a very difficult -- it's
12:40 pm
difficult to see. it looks like it's a good intentioned law but has a devastating effect on businesses and the economy. >> it kind of cuts both ways. and some of the businesses in seattle are against the -- in fact, they're trying to repeal the wage hike there because of what you broke down for us. is there a particular industry that perhaps is at most risk due to all of this? >> that's a great question, too. recently a credit rating agency came out with a survey that says that the restaurant industry could see devastating consequences. the problem is, that labor is so much a part of their margins, that either they're going to have to -- again, they're going to have to raise prices. they're already facing lower foot traffic. and higher food prices. so it's a very, very troubling issue for them. >> let's look at the other side. because those who are favoring
12:41 pm
minimum wage increasing, you should be above poverty level pay. >> that's the most popular argument. but if you break it down, you see only about 5% of people who are working -- who get the minimum wage are in that category. most of them are teenagers, you know, after college. you start out making a minimum wage. you and i i'm sure both did, then you raise -- you climb the ladder. >> work your way up. although, we do know that there are a lot because of the lack of jobs, people who normally wouldn't be going for some of these minimum wage jobs, they're actually trying to support families on them. >> that's absolutely true. but this is not the answer necessary hi, to getting more jobs. it could be just the opposite. >> i wonder what the answer is, to get people back to work. >> yeah. two different ways of looking at it. >> brenda, i like to say, get down to business -- what did i say, taking care of business with butner.
12:42 pm
>> oh, i like that. thank you. >> catch brenda on bulls and bears every saturday morning at 10:00, 10:00 eastern right here on the fox news channel. hours ago, nasa sending up a delivery to the international space station and some of the cargo on that ship just might surprise you. plus a closer look at our top story, thousands of undocumented children pouring across our southern border. and politicians appear unable to find common ground. >> i think we have to deal with this in a humane compassionate way. i think we need to have deterrents. ♪

deal with the thousands of illegal immigrants pouring over the border. meantime, the white house is asking congress for $3.7 billion in emergency funds to address the crisis. that request meeting stiff resistance from republicans who want to focus on the underlying problem that brought us to this point. michael warren is a staff writer for the weekly standard. michael, good to see you. >> hi, arthel. >> on top of everything else i laid out, some criticize the president for missing a missed opportunity to go to the border while he was in texas last week, while others say he dodged criticism of yet another photo-op by not going. has the president lost control of this current border crisis? >> i think that whole debate about whether or not he should go to the border is an example of the political bind the president is on this. i don't think it would have really done anything had he gone to the border. if you watched that debate, you had people on his left saying go
12:47 pm
down to the border, you have to see this is a crisis. in a way they were hoping he might put his arms around these kids and say, welcome to america. but others wanted him to go down for different reasons, to see how unsustainable this flow of people is and how the humanitarian crisis is putting a strain on not only the kids, but on our resources. so he was really in a bind. he couldn't have done anything to make people happy, no matter what he did. i think it's a microcosm of the problems the president has, and really all politicians have in terms of immigration. >> that's what i mean by losing control over the optics, and what he should do. i guess he'll come up with something, let's hope. he definitely did say, i did not go down to the border but i'm very well aware of what's happening there. briefed, you know, daily. >> right. >> so he said he's aware of that. of course, as you would expect. let's move on. let's address this, michael.
12:48 pm
the issue of the government taking many of these illegal immigrants from texas and then shipping them to other communities that are not expecting, or prepared for them. but of course, the government doing this sort of back-ending the funds to the cities. i just heard the report from dominic talking about illinois and nebraska saying, wait a minute, we weren't prepared for this. what's your take on this? >> this is another example, the president of sort of losing control. it's one thing if it's affecting the four border states. you hear wherever there's an immigration crisis, california, arizona, new mexico and texas are in trouble. once the government starts exporting this problem to other states, like you mentioned nebraska and illinois, i read as far away as massachusetts, having these problems. then i think you really reach a political tipping point on this. where the debate sort of moves on beyond these sort of esoteric, are we a nation of
12:49 pm
immigrants, what do we do with these kids. are we going to be able to sustain all of this movement across the border and how do we stem the tide, to use the phrase the administration likes to use. >> so, you know, the president laid out and itemized, let's call it an invoice for $3.7 billion that he's requesting. the republicans don't support what they say amounts to a band-aid. in this tug-of-war between policy and -- in the policies, what's the short-term loss? i need to have you be brief on this, unfortunately. >> a lot of democrats are skeptical of this. this has completely changed over the last week. i think most people thought he would be able to get it through. it actually opened up about a lot of debate about where is the money going to, to get judges down there to process these kids? or is it actually going supporting them? do we really need $3.7 billion? i don't think the administration had good answers to those
12:50 pm
questions. that's only compounded their political problem at getting this passed. >> it's complicated, to say the least. >> yeah. >> all right. michael warren, thank you so much. >>arthel. >> see you soon. millions of people around the world getting together to watch the final game of the world cup, are you one of them brian has the preview. >> it's halftime. it's 0-0. close to a billion people watching the final match. who will win and more on world cup fever next. meatball yelling c'mon, you want heartburn? when your favorite food starts a fight, fight back fast, with tums. heartburn relief that neutralizes acid on contact. and goes to work in seconds. ♪ tum, tum tum tum... tums! ♪ you want to save money on car insurance? no problem. you want to save money on rv insurance?
