Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) Doug Collins confirmed that the Biden administration’s VA diverted “manpower” away from Veteran Care (VC) to help illegal migrants obtain health care.

In an interview with Andrew Wilkow of the Wilkow Majority on SiriusXM Patriot, the new VA secretary revealed that after stepping into the role earlier this month he found instances of time being used to “process health applications and stuff” for illegals:


“Did the VA, under the previous administration, move resources away from Veteran Care into benefits for illegals… Did it happen, or are we going to look into it?” Wilkow asked Collins, who served as a Republican U.S. congressman from Georgia from 2013 to 2021.

“I think what we’ve found…not maybe much invested, but — We actually took time away from what I’ll call Veteran Care to process health applications and stuff, is what we’ve seemed to find, and we’re still looking into this,” Collins replied. “That’s going to stop.”


“I mean, I know they weren’t putting illegals in Walter Reed —,” Wilkow added.


Collins responded, “No, no, no, but there was a use of resources that were going to help process this mass claim. It could be better directed.”

This would seem to indicate any financial woes at the VA weren't about the money allocated, but by the way it was diverted to illegal immigrants.  As a vet, if find it angering but not surprising of the left.

Nothing should make an American madder than the services we provide for our military veterans wind up in the hands of those illegally here.

Heads should roll.
