GOP senator fumes over Biden admin providing veteran medical resources to illegal immigrants
Fox News
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., blasted the use of Department of Veterans' Affairs resources on illegal migrant medical claims.
"[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 said. "They've opened up care from the doctors in these [VA] community care systems. The lines now in the VA's are getting longer. Our funds that are supposed to go to the veterans are going to these illegal immigrants that are coming across." Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News.

Tuberville lamented that the VA was already not able to provide care for all 19 million veterans living across the country and that the community systems he mentioned had helped reduce wait times until the border crisis began to get worse.
