Fine, when Cruz heads back to his Senate job, he will have the opportunity to enact legislation that helps veterans.

We already know that Donald Trump puts veterans highest on his priority list and puts his money where his mouth is. Unlike Cruz, he has actions to show his committment to veterans, not just words. As President, Trump will do much more.

Veterans health plans are 100% backseat to stopping the cheap labor express flood if illegals.... Period.
Flood the country with another 30 million Mexicans and moslems and tell me what kind of Veterans care the country will have?

Between being broke, and them all voting for people who don’t care about such things, only a fool would vote for a guy who doesn’t put border above ALL else.
That isn’t GS Ted, and it SURE isn’t Heidi.

And im not picking who is best for the special interest group...”vets”. I am picking who I think is best for America and addressing our most important issue... the dastardly flooding of the nation with foreigners.

Bush loved vets, and he utterly flooded the country with 3rd worlders. It isn’t well known, but he actually brought in more moslems than Obama so far. That idiot brought in about 800,000. Obama is at about 700,000 and is working hard to exceed Bush this last year. He increased SAUDI student visas 16 fold.

A president loving vets doesn’t mean they will close the border. And that’s all that matters in this election, will we have a nation, or are we going to be globalist.

Myself, as well. I could have written what you said so well; only you were more succinct than what I had in mind.

That was Bush that increased Saudi visas 16 fold. And now Obama has authorization for another 300k or so more. Heidi wont let Ted stop cheap labor express she worked so hard on for the CRF North American union project.

Look at Trump’s website and you will see in writing that he is way ahead of Cruz on Vets healthcare.

Ok, I'll bite. Cruz has been in office how long ? Do tell what he has DONE for vets. Trump is limited by what he says he CAN do as an elected official. But he went out and actually DID something as a private citizen.

DR is right. The border comes FIRST AND FOREMOST

This is the latest I have on Cruz and Veterans health. Cutting wait times is BS as the VA types lie. So where is Cruz’s plan? This is all I saw. Please advise.

Look at that wistfully when President Kardashian forgets all his promises from the campaign trail and goes back to making “deals” with his buddies or for himself. A fraud is still a fraud whether people recognize it now or later.

Just curious when did you serve, you seem to dismiss vets since you only care about 1 issue.

A couple of things come to mind. Cruz won a Supreme Court case that he did pro bono for vets. He also wrote legislation that was passed 99-0 to secure Purple Heart status for the Ft. Hood victims. Cruz has also advocated for all personnel at bases and recruiting centers be armed. He also says that veterans should be able to obtain healthcare at any facility of their choice.

Cruz is the only candidate that has been calling for a wall since 2011 and has said he not only will deport illegals, he will not allow them to come back.

_________________________________________________________

Here on his website

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

HONOR OUR VETERANS

Ted Cruz is committed to honoring our veterans, and providing them the care they have been promised.

The mismanagement in the VA is unacceptable. We should expand options for our service members’ health care so they have more choices and more immediate service.

A Cruz administration will bring more accountability to the VA and provide greater options for our veterans.

...

Introduced legislation to ensure that the victims of Fort Hood were eligible to receive the Purple Heart. The acts of Nidal Hasan were not random acts of workplace violence — it was a clear act of radical Islamic terrorism on our own soil. The men and women who stood bravely in the midst of it deserve to be rightly honored, and Cruz’s measure ensured that were.

Successfully amended the Military Construction and Veterans’ Affairs Appropriations bill to require the VA Secretary to provide Congress with a plan to address the long wait times for veterans seeking health care at the South Texas Veterans Health Care System.

Sponsored the Department of Veterans Affairs Management Accountability Act to make it easier for senior executives at the VA to be terminated for negligence, mismanagement, and other performance failures.
