Republicans Seek to Ban Biden from Using Dept. of Veterans Affairs to Give Healthcare to Illegal Aliens
Breitbart ^ | Dec 13, 2023 | John Binder

A group of Republicans are looking to ban President Joe Biden’s administration from siphoning healthcare resources from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) away from military veterans to illegal aliens arriving at the United States-Mexico border.

The legislation, first reported by Fox News Digital’s Jamie Joseph and Adam Shaw, comes as Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been accused of siphoning VA healthcare resources from military veterans to illegal aliens.

Last year, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas seemingly confirmed to Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-IA) that the agency was looking at using VA healthcare resources at the border.

Someone had asked about this a couple of days ago.

Bost says he isn't getting answers from the biden admin, which likely means the VA is being used to provide care for illegals, not just act as a payment processor.

While actual veterans get crap treatment or none at all.

What is the loophole for someone who did not serve our country in the armed forces? Steal from somebody else’s fund silo. Not actual veterans and actual Americans who worked for decades to earn the quarters required.


Like the fellow here said a couple of years ago: I paid into Social Security for twenty five years so far. some illegals who crossed the border yesterday are getting their Soc. Security benefits today. Why?

From Social Security.gov
Can I get Social Security if I am not a U.S. citizen?

Under current Social Security rules, workers who have immigrated to the United States are likely to receive lower benefits than natives.
If your visa status allows you to work, then you must contact your local Social Security office to apply. What do I need to submit to the Social Security office? You need to prove your identity and work- authorized immigration status.

If you apply for SSI benefits, you must give us proof of your immigration status, such as a current DHS admission/departure Form I-94, Form I-551 or an order from an immigration judge showing withholding of removal or granting asylum.

The whole point is American citizens are the “out” group politically. The ruling class could care less if veterans are left to live on the streets with xylazine needles in their arms.

It’s not just in America but all over the western world.

Did you see how people trying to celebrate Remembrance Day were treated in the United Kingdom?

Some were arrested for having British flags.

This is intentional.

If it’s happening it’s most definitely against the law.

“If it’s happening it’s most definitely against the law.”

The law is dead. It’s whatever they say it is.

Get used to it, plebe.

It’s what our ruling class elite think of the people who served their country. They are putting the illegals first, because they need them to stay in power. Let that sink in.

Great. Just great. I’ve been waiting six months for the VA to do one simple thing and they screw it up. How are they going to take care of us, AND 11 - 30 MILLION illegals, some of whom I’ve probably come into very close contact with their cousins overseas who didn’t fair too well. Bullshit!t!

No wonder that it takes me 30-45 days to get an appointment for a ill fitting prosthetic.

If this is true, then Congress doensn't need a bill to block VA care for illegals. It's illegal to begin with and should taken to the courts.

Saw a fool on FB comment about “you need to check your facts, the money to treat these people is coming from the ICE budget not the VA budget, so it’s fine! Veterans will still get care…
I responded with stating illegal aliens have no business being treated by VA doctors, and all this does is add wait times for veterans for appointments and all procedures, hurried doctors won’t provide as good of care as they could, all that.
I’ve not received a response yet.

How much less could they care?

It usually takes me from 3-6 months to get an appointment that wasn’t already scheduled.

I paid into it for 40+ years and can’t afford to retire on the pittance that I, now, get from social security.
My plan is to go to a Mexican beach for a week, work on the tan, learn some Spanish lingo and walk back across the border.

Correct. SS just notified me, that my SS COLA RAISE IS $47.00 A MONTH. That won’t cover 1 prescription copay and the box of Nexium, Tricare Life put OTC. It’s the only NECESSARY GERD med I can take. No food or gas for the car or furnace. Which is not calculated in. I need new $5K Hearing Aids. For the damage done to my hearing by Steroids to treat Menieres. WHICH MEDICARE AND TRICARE LIFE DON’T COVER, I’M JUST A SPOUSE OF A 20-YEAR NAVY VETERAN.

Try getting through to the Military Pharmacy to OK a new Script. All Chinese junk if it’s generic.
