Rep. Senator Introduces Bill To Stop Biden Admin From Giving Away Veteran Medical Resources To Illegal Aliens

Now here’s a senator that’s shining a light on another terrible move by the Biden administration.

And that move is making sure the medical care that should go to our veterans goes to illegal invaders instead.

Because, of course that’s what this administration would do.

America last.

That’s their motto.

Everyday they make that more and more clear.

Well, Sen. Tommy Tuberville was tired of it and introduced a bill that would put an end to it!

BREAKING: Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville has introduced a bill to stop the Biden administration from prioritizing illegal aliens over U.S. veterans.

Fox News reports:

Biden is facing increased scrutiny over his administration providing health care administrative services to illegal migrants amid a worsening border crisis, potentially exacerbating long wait times for American veterans utilizing Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) facilities.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., touted his recently introduced No VA Resources for Illegal Aliens Act, which he introduced alongside Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., that would ban such action, one of the many problems he says are facing the country as a result of the border “disaster” taking place under Biden’s watch.

“[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.”

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.

The arrangement between the VA’s Financial Service Center (VA-FSC) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to process claims for migrant medical care is a longstanding one that actually predates the Biden administration and was outlined in a 2020 memo during former President Trump’s administration.

When an illegal migrant under ICE detention requires health care, they are typically treated onsite by medical professionals. However, if specialist or emergency care is required, they may be taken to an independent private provider.

In such cases, ICE contracts with the VA’s Financial Service Center (VA-FSC) to process reimbursements to those providers. According to a report from July, ICE has hundreds of letters of understanding in which ICE’s Health Service Corps (IHSC) will reimburse providers at Medicare rates. That uses the VA-FSC’s Healthcare Claims Processing System, which a portal that allows providers to submit and view claims and access other resources.

The VA told Fox News Digital in December that it has had an interagency agreement with the IHSC since 2002 to provide processing, but it also noted that the department neither provides health care nor pays for it. Under the agreement with IHSC, ICE pays fees for the claims processing services rendered and covers disbursements made to pay for claims.

He just stated another glaring fact on X that the Democrats like to ignore. Spend, spend, spend! But with little to nothing to show for it.

We're $35 trillion in debt with NOTHING to show for it. There's an invasion at our southern border. Our roads and bridges are falling apart. Our schools systems are getting worse by the day. Our military can't recruit.

And the US Senate just prioritized Ukrainian pensions over…
