WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner is criticizing President Barack Obama’s plan to cope with a tide of minors from Central America who are illegally crossing the U.S. border. But the Ohio Republican also is being noncommittal on whether the House would vote to approve the president’s request.

Boehner tells reporters Wednesday that Obama’s plan doesn’t do enough to secure the border. The Ohio Republican says he’d wait for recommendations from several committee chairs before deciding how to act.
