Did you, or a family member, serve your country with the expectation of receiving the health care benefits you were promised?
Sorry, illegal aliens apparently come first in President Joe Biden’s America.
The Biden administration reportedly is considering diverting doctors from the Department of Veterans Affairs to treat the massive inflow of illegal aliens expected at the southern border this spring and summer.
Hillary Vaughn of Fox Business reported on the insulting slight to American veterans on Thursday, citing a source with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
She quoted the source as saying, “We’re going to take medical services away from people that really deserve that. Who went to combat … to give free medical attention to illegal migrants.”
The Department of Veterans Affairs is already notoriously inefficient, with a shortage in personnel likely to cost American veterans the care they need.
The Biden administration would redistribute the health care resources for a surge of as many as half a million illegal immigrants, according to Vaughn.
The administration is gutting immigration enforcement and deportations in favor of a system designed to check-in and ferry illegals to American communities.
Biden has consistently shrouded his border policies in secrecy, and it’s likely the administration would try to keep the use of veterans’ health care resources for illegals under wraps.
The spring surge would follow the termination of Article 42, a Trump-era policy designed to allow the quick expulsion of illegals on the grounds of coronavirus public health concerns.
Reports on Thursday indicated the Biden administration planned to eliminate the border security policy on May 23, just in time to meet the late spring surge of illegal aliens.
Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz told CNN he expects the agency to apprehend as many as 8,000 illegal aliens a day when Article 42 is removed.
Illegal migration levels fluctuate in response to U.S. policy, with more illegals arriving when they expect amnesty and legal residency.
Biden has overseen a record-setting flow of illegal aliens.
On March 1, the Democrat said during his State of the Union address that “we need to secure our border” — a talking point that appears to be little more than a partisan lie in light of Biden’s unthinkable open borders governance.
“Very few people within CBP believe this administration will actually secure the border, they just do not believe in it,” one agent told Fox News afterward.
“All of their actions, comments and practices are solely about pushing in as many illegal aliens as possible, not just those from the Americas but from around the world,” the agent said.

The Commandeer in Chief.
I believe it. These anti-American subversive deviates are capable of anything.
When I retired from the military 20 years ago, I was encouraged to sign up with the VA.
I didn’t do so because I didn’t want my health to be put in the hands of those quacks and butchers. I’d rather have the opportunity to be able to choose for myself.
This just serves to make me doubly glad I didn’t make the mistake of signing up for VA “healthcare”
Those quacks and butchers as you referred to them have helped a lot of people. It’s nice you have the money to go to top shelf doctors.
I have no complaints with VA. Around my area they are pretty good.
The VA recently opened up a medical center in my little N. GA city a few months ago. It was well-received and is always busy, and it is needed to support scarce medical resources here.
I’m a veteran (68-76) and I suppose that I could have considered the VA as an alternative or supplemental resource for medical needs, but fortunately insurance and Medicare seem to be working fine. There are plenty of veterans in my area who are not as fortunate, and I think the VA plays a key role in ameliorating that. In short, we are lucky to have that center.
Considering what I have read about the neglect, poor care, and outright medical travesty in VA hospitals this move just might save the lives of many of our veterans.
Stinking communist POS!
Another move to kill off mostly white elderly men who tend as a group to be conservative and need medical care.
My primary care Dr at the rural VA clinic retired 2 years ago. They never replaced the Dr so now every 6 months I get a phone appointment from a VA facility 2 states away from a Dr where essentially I’m asked how I’m feeling and do I have all my prescriptions. That’s about it. Have not personally seen a Dr in over2 years. I assume the clinic will close soon. No one is ever there except for lab work. Once it closes it will again be a 200 mile all day trip to see a Dr if they have any at the main hospital. Gubbmint health care, can’t beat it.
How exactly is this plan of Biden’s supposed to work to send a signal to Putin that the US military is getting better prepared (especially in recruiting the best/brightest with good veteran benefits) to deal with the threats that Putin and other autocrats pose to the world?
You're right. It is nice that I always had jobs with benefits.
Yes, that’s real nice.
Lots of vets have lots of guns and lots of free time.
As the Leftist DEMs continue to dig that already huge ass hole deeper.......
Can’t use the VA unless you have a service related medical condition.
I do but they refuse to recognize it so I “dont” but they continue to try to get me to give them information and come in.
They really should make up their minds.
