The recent revelation that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) might be indirectly funding healthcare for illegal immigrants has sparked controversy. A whistleblower from the border patrol brought this issue to light, suggesting that the VA, while not providing direct care to immigrants, acts as a middleman between the Department of Homeland Security and hospitals. This situation raises questions about the prioritization of healthcare services, particularly when over 417,000 veterans' claims are pending.
