Veterans Over Illegals

The federal government is giving billions of dollars in subsidies to illegal immigrants while tens of thousands of American veterans remain homeless. In so many ways, Biden has his priorities backwards.

Illegals should be deported and veterans should be prioritized. As long as even one American veteran is still living on the streets, we shouldn’t spend a penny on illegals.

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), there were an estimated 19,750 sheltered homeless veterans. The number of unsheltered homeless veterans is estimated to be just under 40,000 on any given night. Those numbers should weigh heavily on the nation’s conscience. We’ve made progress toward reducing the population of homeless veterans in recent years, but there’s still much more work to be done.

This issue is deeply personal to me. As a Marine and Iraq war veteran, those are my brothers and sisters out there. Many homeless veterans are suffering from mental health issues, and in many cases those issues are directly traceable to their service to our country. Yet all too often, we as a society turn a blind eye to their struggles, despite all that they’ve sacrificed for our benefit.

Jo Jo the Pedo clown says, “Under the Brandon administration, XENOS come first!!! Veterans can go to the back of the line. It’s somewhere just slightly north of Honduras!”

FJB is also redirecting medical personnel from VA hospitals to serve illegal aliens/invaders.

The VA, at least my local office here in Alaska, has gone to sh!t since Biteme took over. I c an’t get anything done. They are short paying or not paying at all the doctor bills for the procedures they approved. I can’t even get hearing aid batteries and they don’t return phone calls any more.

The people in the Juneau office I used to talk to have all quit, retired or been reassigned. When I do get someone on the phone, they agree that it is all forked up. Nothing the worker bees can do about it though.
