When Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently unveiled his “six pillar plan” for dealing with the crisis on our southern border, he certainly didn’t mention this truly awful idea. During his recent testimony before Congress, Mayorkas slipped in one option that Joe Biden is reportedly considering. In order to provide better care for the tens of thousands of illegal aliens streaming across the border, the White House is looking at the possibility of diverting funding from the Veterans Administration for that situation. Additionally, some of the doctors and nurses tasked with caring for our veterans could be reassigned to providing care for the illegals.

What do the wimpy Republicans have to say and do about this Biden proposal, other than sending a letter to some Biden appointed super bureaucrats?

Pulling funds for veterans who fought to defend our nation - and giving those funds to illegal criminals invading our nation. And Republicans in congress shouted NO WAY! And they shut it down! (LOL, that last part was a fairy tale.)

When Mayorkas appears as a supposed witness before congressional committees he simply plays rope-a-dope with the wimpy Republicans. You would have to be a moron not to believe that fact!

I thought that out of his devotion to the memory of Beau Biden, the VETERAN whose service in the rear echelons may have exposed him to burn pits and chemicals that "caused" brain cancer, that the President would not take a penny from the VA. Just weeks ago, in his State of the Union, he pledged his support of veterans. Come on, man! Beau was a veteran, he wore the uniform of this country. ( So did Hunter, but he got kicked out of his easy Navy PR gig because of drug abuse.)

Has the administration forgotten that our vets have been trained to use weapons - automatic ones to boot?

That's going to BLOW UP in their face. Biden will have to deny it and Mayorkas should be fired for even thinking of such a thing. Good Grief! What's next? Do they KNOW how many Veterans we have in this country? Do they understand what it would be like to have them ALL marching on Washington D.C? Who is the Genius who thought this was a good idea?

The leftist democrats have hated military veterans like myself since the Vietnam War. It was discovered that certain RINO politicians like the deceased Senator's from AZ and VA who themselves were vets hated us too. I do believe the latter said that we didn't deserve our benefits. So this move by our idiot president and the bridge troll he has running the Department of Homeland Suck-erity is nothing new.

Not surprised, but sickened. My father died four months ago after applying four months prior to that for VA benefits he earned and deserved. I got a letter yesterday from the VA saying that "there may have been a delay in receipt of mailed correspondence" to the VA from July 2021 through December 2021, and that if we believe we should have heard from them by now we should call their 1-800 number. Right. Apparently the "diversion" has already begun. Our government has become our enemy. On purpose.

Mayorkas has already raided the DHS component agencies and has shifted both money appropriated by Congress and personnel from component agencies to the processing (e.g., high-fiving, providing plane tickets, etc.) of illegal aliens. Neither Mayorkas or Biden has the unilateral authority to raid the VA, which is not a component agency of DHS; it is one of the 15 executive departments, each headed by its own "secretary." Only 5% of appropriated funds can be re-programmed by the president without the consent of Congress. 31 U.S.Code 1301, aka the Purpose Statute, stipulates that appropriations must be applied only to the objects for which the appropriations were made, except as otherwise provided by law. Only Congress can "provide by law."

This is why Americans don't believe Joe Biden's "election" had anything to do with the will of the people.
How could it? While Donald Trump was focused upon strengthening the American middle class, and doing so with great success, Democrats, their "insider" government pals, and the MSM, were creating and delivering false (but solemn) propaganda narratives. First for Hillary, then later for Biden.
If we believe Biden's election reflected the will of the American people, we must first believe that Trump's growing and thriving middle class was dissatisfied with their improving quality of life.
We must believe that middle America longed for a return to Obama's bureaucratic dictates and mandates, with unelected bureaucrats like Mayorcas doing politicians' redistribution dirty work.
We must believe that Americans "voted for" an immediate end to secure borders, a massive increase in crime and imported poverty, stronger criminal cartels, more deadly illegal drugs in their communities, and redistribution of American wealth away from America's own veterans.
Biden told illegals "they should come" to the US, so it's no surprise he's putting illegal aliens ahead of American veterans. Whether citizens are being abused with redistributed votes or redistributed benefits, Americans cannot remain free by tolerating government corruption at the level it has reached today.

For Mayorkas' proposed diversion of Veterans' funding and medical personnel to make any sense, then the govt must agree that they were not needed...and thereby admit it's been wasting money.
That, of course, is assuming that Mayorkas is a rational, thinking human being, but since none of his actions or statements as Secretary of Homeland Defense have made any sense, he is in another category.

Many things going on but this is the most disturbing news of the day. If I had been on the fence about helping illegals I am no longer. Not one penny should be taken from helping our Veterans. While I am happy to see private organizations coming forward requesting our help for wounded and homeless Veterans, to me that is proof this government is not doing nearly enough for those who stood up prepared to give their lives for the United States of America.

I've been wondering who the puppetmasters are who have been running the current U.S. Government.
Yeah, I know, 0bama is the Shadow President, and is Biden's puppet master, but who is 0bamas ? I used to think it is Soros, Schwab and a loose consortium of evil globalist billionaires. But now I am pretty sure that Satan is directly in charge, and giving the day by day, hour by hour orders to our government

We all thought Homeland Security was going to protect us from foreign terrorists. And we all thought that meant Muslims. But instead it covers everything including flood insurance. And it never finds Muslims terrorists who have waged several more attacks since the creation of this huge department. But they are certainly acting to protect us from parents who complain to their local school boards.
I get mail from the Department Of Homeland Security all the time because I have flood insurance. Flood insurance!! Good grief.

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to repatriate illegals to their country of origin?
And shouldn't we be billing those countries for the money we spend on their citizens?

I'm no longer shocked that the Commicrats are placing bets on our opponents. How will we disseminate this kind of news when Mayorkas' Disinformation Department pulls the plug on us?
