VA Disqualifies Vets from Caregiver Program Despite Promised Pause amid Review

My comment, "While the VA attacks the veterans that need help we continue to live with an open border and spend our taxpayer dollars on illegals. Some but not all examples follow:

Reception & Placement
All refugees arriving in the United States will receive $900 when they first arrive. This is a one-time only provision of initial resettlement money, which they can spend on whatever they wish (e.g. security deposits for an apartment, bus fare, winter coats, food, etc.). The spending of this money is often guided by advice from resettlement case managers who assist the families in getting resettled quickly and economically.

If you are an undocumented immigrant, you are not eligible for Food Stamps, but you can apply for Food Stamps for your citizen children, that is children born in the USA.

Some states issue a driver's license to illegals. Currently, state laws permitting this are on the books in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. Do you see a certain trend happening with this situation?

Homeland Security has to expense money to issue smartphones with a pre-loaded app to illegal immigrants to ensure compliance with release stipulations. The left would say that the phones can only be used to access the app – they can't access the internet, load other apps, or make calls. Even if that's true the iPhones used are not free, they are paid for by tax dollars.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Benefits
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are provided to refugee elders aged 65 and older
in the amount of $674/ month, which is similar to SSI received by American elders. These
refugee elders often do not receive any of the other state benefits because they aren’t raising
children or participating in fast-track employment programs. Refugee elders have been resettled later in their lives, which makes language acquisition very difficult."

My personal belief is that we need to take care of our citizens first. According to the Border Report migrant encounters top 2 million in the calendar year 2021, on pace for higher numbers in 2022.
