VA Providing Medical To Migrants

U.S. Senator Steve Daines of Montana, due to the fact Biden admitted using Veterans Affairs medical resources to treat illegal migrants coming in from the open Southern Border, causing a backlog of U.S. veterans who served this country. Some believe it is an open policy to serve all migrants in VA medical facilities. As reported by Anders Hagstrom of Fox News and the Office of U.S. Senator Steve Daines. Senator Daines stated that the VA medical system is set and should only provide medical services to all U.S. Veterans.
There is an agreement between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has twenty-two arrangements between the Departments of Veterans and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and claims it has no impact on providing services. Republican Representative Mike Bost of the House of Veterans Affairs Committee and Senator Tommy Tuberville, Republican of Alabama, have introduced a bill to stop the agreement, a bill called "No VA Resources for Illegal Aliens Act," that will forbid the VA from providing resources for migrant medical services. The problem is that this agreement has been in place since George W. Bush administration. Democrats and Republicans of the past have supported the border crises and the VA providing medical, so there is enough blame to go around. Patricia Kime of Military.com reported this. Most citizens, veterans, and Congress members that have not served since the Bush administration, and during this time Senator Joe Biden objected to this arrangement of between ICE/ CBP and the VA.
This issue has been going on for twenty-two years with the Republicans. It continues with the Biden administration's use of the VA medical system to provide medical services to migrants brought in from the Southern Border crises. Now, we Republicans are introducing laws to stop the VA from using resources for Illegal Migrants, and ICE agents would bring migrants since these facilities were closest to the border to provide needed medical care. The Republicans of the past allowed this, and the U.S. Congress more than likely knew about the agreement and blamed the Democrats for the border crises, but there is enough blame to go around.
I cannot say who is right or who is wrong on this issue, but both parties have been playing politics that are harming the U.S. veterans. ICE agents cannot use the words illegal aliens, illegal migrants, or assimilation by orders of the White House; the correct wording will be non-Americans, migrants, non-residents, non-citizens, and integration in a memo. The White sent a memo to ICE and CBP to use the correct terms for a more human immigration policy. People must research and decide what is happening with the VA and Congress.???????????????????????????
