Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) recently slammed President Joe Biden for prioritizing individuals who are illegally crossing into the United States over U.S. military veterans by providing healthcare services to illegal immigrants.
The Republican senator argued that the Biden administration has created longer wait times for veterans to receive medical care by using Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities to provide care for illegal immigrants.
During a recent interview with Fox News, Tuberville highlighted the “No VA Resources for Illegal Aliens Act,” which the Alabama senator recently introduced with Rep. Mike Bost (R-Ill.). The Republican legislation would prevent the federal government from using VA facilities or medical providers to treat illegal immigrants.
“[Biden’s] decided, OK, we’ve got to feed all these 10 million people we’ve let come across the border, we’ve got to house them, and we’ve got to give them health care,” Tuberville told Fox News. “They’ve opened up care from the doctors in these [VA] community care systems. The lines now in the VAs are getting longer. Our funds that are supposed to go to the veterans are going to these illegal immigrants that are coming across.”
