As the Biden administration is reportedly leveraging resources and personnel at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to facilitate health care services to illegal aliens in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) is fighting to ensure that VA funds are preserved for America’s veterans.
Ernst recently joined legislation to prohibit the VA from providing health care or processing claims for anyone unlawfully present in the United States.
“President Biden’s border crisis is so out of control that his administration is willing to steal from our nation’s heroes and divert resources away from their care,” said Senator Ernst, a combat veteran. “This shouldn’t be up for debate: immigrants who have broken our laws should not receive priority over American veterans, period. I’ll continue demanding border security and standing up for those who defended our freedoms and way of life.”
