On Wednesday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about how the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has been spending its money.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Secretary of Veterans Affairs (VA) Doug Collins confirmed that the Biden administration\u2019s VA diverted \u201cmanpower\u201d away from Veteran Care (VC) to help illegal migrants obtain health care.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an interview with Andrew Wilkow of the Wilkow Majority<\/i> on SiriusXM Patriot, the new VA secretary revealed that\u00a0after\u00a0stepping into the role<\/a>\u00a0earlier this month he found instances of time being used to \u201cprocess health applications and stuff\u201d for illegals:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article explains:<\/p>\n

“Did the VA, under the previous administration, move resources away from Veteran Care into benefits for illegals\u2026 Did it happen, or are we going to look into it?\u201d Wilkow asked Collins, who served as a Republican U.S. congressman from Georgia from 2013 to 2021.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI think what we\u2019ve found\u2026not maybe much invested, but \u2014 We actually took time away from what I\u2019ll call Veteran Care to process health applications and stuff, is what we\u2019ve seemed to find, and we\u2019re still looking into this,\u201d Collins replied. \u201cThat\u2019s going to stop.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, I know they weren\u2019t putting illegals in Walter Reed \u2014,\u201d Wilkow added.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Collins responded, \u201cNo, no, no, but there was a use of resources that were going to help process this mass claim. It could be better directed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again clarifying that illegal migrants were not receiving medical procedures from VA hospitals, Wilkow asked if VA \u201cmanpower may have been used\u201d to help illegal aliens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, that\u2019s what we\u2019ve seen so far,\u201d Collins confirmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Veterans Affairs resources should be used for veterans. We have no obligation to people who are here illegally and have broken our laws to be here. How many veterans have waited long periods of time to get the services that they needed and were entitled to because the administrative arm of the Veterans Administration was directed elsewhere?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
