Josh Hawley: Biden Must Disclose If He is Diverting Doctors from U.S. Veterans, Sending them to Treat Border CrossersJohn Binder 6 Apr 2022
President Joe Biden must disclose if he is planning to divert doctors from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to send them to treat border crossers and illegal aliens, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) says.
In a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Hawley accuses Biden of exacerbating historically high illegal immigration levels with plans to end Title 42 — the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) authority that has allowed officials to quickly return more than 1.7 million illegal aliens to their native countries since 2020.
Following reports over the last week, Hawley is asking Biden to clarify and disclose if his administration is considering sending VA doctors, meant to be caring for American military veterans, to the U.S.-Mexico border to provide free medical care to border crossers and illegal aliens.
Hawley writes:
I am particularly alarmed at new reports suggesting that DHS plans to divert doctors from the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide free medical resources to those crossing our border illegally. In the words of one [Customs and Border Protection] official, “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.”
…
Does DHS plan to divert medical resources from the Department of Veteran Affairs to provide free medical services to illegal aliens?
