Republicans Introduce Bill to Prevent VA Healthcare Resources from Being Used for Illegal Immigrants

The 'No VA Resources for Illegal Aliens Act' comes amid allegations that the Biden administration is diverting resources away from veterans to provide medical services to illegal immigrants at the southern border.

• Top Republicans, led by Sen. Tommy Tuberville and Rep. Mike Bost, have introduced the 'No VA Resources for Illegal Aliens Act' to prevent VA healthcare resources from being used for illegal immigrants.
• The move comes amid allegations that the Biden administration is diverting VA healthcare resources to provide medical services to illegal immigrants at the southern border.
• Republicans argue that this practice exacerbates long wait times for American veterans and breaks promises made to those who served.
• The VA has countered that it does not provide or fund any healthcare services to individuals detained in ICE custody, and that all healthcare services for detained individuals are provided and paid for by the IHSC.
• The legislation has been co-sponsored by several other Republicans, including Sens. Thom Tillis and Marsha Blackburn, and Reps. Keith Self, Jack Bergman, Scott Franklin, and Mariannette Miller-Meeks.
