I know this has been said many times but if the VA has these problems, Obamacare will be as bad and probably many times worse.

Our vets suffer and die while waiting for care as the OboZo Thugs allow young illegals in to flood our country. The moment they cross our borders illegally, they start costing the taxpayers a lot of money.

White House To Request $2 Billion To Handle Border Influx of Children Nogales Border

Influx of children illegally crossing U.S. border is called a humanitarian crisis Federal officials scramble to respond to unexpected surge of minors immigrating alone into U.S.

A rush of young children crossing alone and illegally into the United States from Texas is so large and unexpected that senior officials with the Obama administration said Monday the White House is asking Congress for about $2 billion to grapple with what is being called a humanitarian crisis.

Immigration agents are so overwhelmed that some children are being kept in detention and being processed during a longer time period than the 72-hour maximum requirement, these senior administration officials acknowledged. The officials briefed reporters on condition of anonymity.

Although they said they had been prepared for an increase this year in the Rio Grande Valley, the influx was much greater than anticipated. As many as 90,000 minors are forecast to enter the U.S. this year without their parents or guardians, the officials said.

But these officials also reiterated that the increased influx of unaccompanied children who are crossing illegally into the United States through Texas is due to escalating violence in Central America and not because of false rumors that people who cross will be eligible for some sort of permanent immigration relief.

The Obama administration request for the funds would cover costs of the Health and Human Services’ Unaccompanied Alien Children program and is just the latest effort by federal immigration officials to contain the crisis.

That is interesting. The vets have been forgotten and nothing is done. The illegals get funding right away. Wow!

Another resounding reality of how the left wingers hate America and our wounded warriors and love our enemies and illegals.

If I were Prez, I’d sign an immediate executive order allowing vets to go to any hospital in the country under Medicare rules effective this second.

That would be a kind and honorable action.

Herr Obozo prefers to use our tax $’s to pay for the release of Gitmo serial killers and to bring into the US thousands of illegal children for medical care.
