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.
From my friends who are using the VA they tell me they had to get evaluated at least 3 times before they had a VA rating granted. In my opinion they want to make sure you’re not scamming the system.
why are we forced to tolerate blatant anti-American groups taking over our govt every once in a while??
why the hell are blatantly anti-American groups allowed to be on the ballot?
Can’t use the VA for free. I can use it, but it costs the same to see a doctor whose medical degree was issued in thexUS. My last PA wore a hijab. It was like a slap in the face. Everyone knows islam is incompatible with the Constitution.
If we ever get the wheel back we need to cripple their ability to ever take the wheel again
I know very few retirees who go through the VA Health System.
They usually choose Tricare and then go to Tricare for life when they reach Medicare age.
Normally people who do not retire from the military and have some causative disability go thru the VA for some of their stuff unless they’re situated financially in a better place, a lot of those people who leave the forces aren’t in a better place and they need some help which is one if the reasons why the VA exist.
Sometimes you don’t know if it’s a Babylon Bee article.
Know what I mean ?
Impeach this bum.

True, but they tried to talk me into the VA when I retired.
They usually choose Tricare and then go to Tricare for life when they reach Medicare age.
True again, but I always had commercial insurance. Now that I've retired and moved to Thailand, I am on commercial insurance from my wife. I suppose that if I needed medical care when I was in the States, I'd use Tricare now, but that would be the only reason (Tricare overseas, unless you are in an area with military, is cash first then maybe they reimburse).
Can’t use the VA unless you have a service related medical condition.
True in most cases. Except, if one is rated 100% or deemed unemployable from a service-related medical condition, the later is my situation. Even my dependents can use certain VA facilities. And one is located 90 miles from us that do. Along with that, the dependents are enrolled in ChampVa to use private local docs at 75-25% coverage.
Just for your information.
Like their Soviet counterparts, they hate their countrymen and want to replace them with migrants, illegals, etc.
Way to go joe....
Keep it up buddy...
He is the gift that keeps on giving...
Every minute, 2 democrats turn themselves into republicans
You are incorrect...
If your income falls below a certain level, you are entitled to VA healthcare...
I tried, but I make too much money
I feel the same way. I have been retired Army for 25 years with 30 years service. I have used the VA for all of my healthcare requirements since then. I have moved a few times and changed VA service providers in different states. I have nothing but praise for all those at the VA that have treated me. When they thank me for my service I always thank them for theirs. (They serve us) Maybe I was just lucky? Doubt it and I doubt the article.
I have been using the VA health care system for20 years,year and a half ago had Quadruple bypass open heart surgery at the VA,care was exemplary,have absolutely no problems with their care.
Now senile Joe is going to do to that what he has done to the entire country,turn it into a disaster
