WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker John Boehner said Thursday he can’t envision a U.S. response to the border crisis that doesn’t involving speeding up the process of returning unaccompanied Central American children home.

The comment by Boehner, R-Ohio, seemed to indicate that an acceleration of the pace in which the children are returned could be the price for GOP support of President Barack Obama’s request for a $3.7 billion emergency package.
