Should homeless American vets be sleeping on the sidewalk, while illegal aliens get to stay for free in expensive hotel rooms?

[Surely]

The people that are allowing this to happen. Never had to sleep in a damp fox hole with bullets flying overhead and bombs landing next to them. Earning next to nothing in pay.
I never have either. But I would surely try to take care of the people who did!

[Asker]

You don't have to have been in that fox hole to imagine what it would be like. I know two guys who went to Iraq as contractor truck drivers. Both of them only lasted about a week.

[Jersey2]

Our Vets are always asked too much of and they don’t complain that much. It is a shame and it isn’t right. Our country needs an enema.

[Asker]

And yet we give 100 billion to Ukraine. Biden has shit for brains.

[DJB72]

Not just America but any country that is either unable or unwilling to provide adequate shelter, food and healthcare to it's veterans has no business accepting "refugees" from anywhere.

When that country claims to be the moral compass for the planet yet criminalises helping the homeless the people need to wake up and put their government to the fire.

You cannot have national morality without from religious principles. I believe George Washington said that in his Farewell address.

Pity Washington DC doesn't follow it's namesake's teaching.

[Asker]

Now it's all about filthy greed. Only term limits can fix this..

[DJB72]

I've never understood why you have "career" politicians. You can't adequately govern what you don't understand. If the President can only have two terms then the same should be the case for all levels.

I also believe that not having done military service should disqualify from being Commander in Chief. If you don't know how to take orders you'll never understand the how and why of giving them.

[Asker]

If they would let us vote on it, there would be term limits.

[DJB72]

That's why they won't let you vote on it.

I bet RFK Jr would support the idea

[rigmarole]

If you look at it from the perspective of Democrats, the illegal aliens are their hired mercenary force to conduct a violent communist revolution against a constitutional federal republic. In contrast US veterans have already taken an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Thus, it is in their interest to keep their army well fed and healthy, while depriving the enemy force of resources and comfort.

[Asker]

Great post. Biden sucks.

[CalmUntilAbused]

The real question is whether this question should even have to be asked in the first place. I mean... I get that it's kind of normalized (not normal, not by a long shot) to be cruel of those who are of no use to the society anymore, but disregarding military veterans is straight up appalling. I mean, not going for euthanasing all these soldiers is kind of... hope-inspiring at this point, and that itself is terrifying. But with the current trends catching more wind, this kind of final... I mean, "proper" solution might be just around the corner. I think some of the most evil monsters in human history would be laughing maniacally if they saw what the world turned out to be like.

[Asker]

It's amazing how many people have no problem with this.

[Anonymous]

Ok so I used to think the same but here’s a little insight. I am a vet myself, I work at the VA. A lot of them are homeless by choice. A lot of vets get a disability rating. A number of them are rated the same as me or at higher ratings all the way up to 100%. Which is a little under 3800 a month w no kids, not married. Many of them, not all, but many of them are given places to live, but they don’t want to abide by those rules whether it’s no drinking, no drugs, etc. so they leave. One vet got a deposit of almost $6000, I know because he had me call his bank for him. Yes there are some vets who are probably down on their luck, but there’s also a lot of them who don’t want to spend the money they get from the federal gov’t, even if they’re given a place to live requiring them to pay part of the rent. Some get kicked out of the homes they go to because they’re verbally abusive, punched staff or even other residents. As for illegals, no we shouldn’t be footing that bill.

[Opinion Owner]

by the way a lot of people stand on the streets acting like vets to use that to their advantage.

[Asker]

Good points.

[DARKCLOUD1945X]

This is your government at its finest. Santuary City and State all welcome except VETS and needy RESIDENTS. You sleep on the streets and go hungry Cuts in funding 1st round of many to follow from POLICE , FIRE , SANITATION. EDUCATION and MENTAL HEALTH to support the illegals brought to you by THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNIST PARTY OF AMERICA this is the new AMERICA enjoy.

[Asker]

It's disgusting.

[Lliam]

No. Illegal aliens should be kept in remote, fenced in refugee camps like the ones that Japanese Americans were put in after Pearl Harbor. Fuck them for entering this country illegally.

[Asker]

I wish more Americans thought like you.

[FunkyMonkee]

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! IT'S A DISGRACE!!
Finish the damn wall, ship the illegals back home WITH a bill for what they've cost us and put the VETS into the hotels and wait on them hand & foot!!

[Asker]

I like the way you think!

[FunkyMonkee]

Thank you but, it's just common sense, something democrats know nothing about.

[Avicenna]

Of course not. And the political and business elites of the country are to blame for that terrible public policy.

[Asker]

It makes me sick to think why the left is OK with this.

[Avicenna]

Leftists hate everyone. It's just that they rotate among targeting particular groups- they'll throw anyone under the bus. One day they'll do it to the alphabet types they currently pretend to champion.

[Asker]

One guy I listen to says there's a silver lining in all of this. He says that after the useful idiots are no longer needed, the communists line them up and shoot them. lol

[Avicenna]

That is what they do

[Avicenna]

And the useful idiots never learn from history

[Asker]

LOL That's for damn sure.

[Summeroflove]

Hell no. I think anyone with a fraction of a brain is figuring it out

[Asker]

I don't think most people have a fraction of a brain.

[Summeroflove]

Some don’t for sure. But I think most people are waking up and coming out of their trance. With how bad things ar e

[Summeroflove]

Others are a lost cause

[DaisyM23]

it's not a problem of 'illegal aliens', it's a problem of your government and public not caring enough to prioritise others such as veterans - i'm sure if the government really wanted to look after vets they can find the money to help them

[strateguy632]

but that is the point they biden and dnc did "prioritize" undocumented criminal OVER citizens.

[Alwayreckles93]

My goodness. We should all start achariry and help all American Vet they did so much for us.

[strateguy632]

good idea "a charity" but really government should help they aren't less than undocumented who violated immigration laws and TRULY criminals.

[Alwayreckles93]

@strateguy632 Yes are right. The Government should step up to the plate our Troops secrefice evrything forbour country.

[Alwayreckles93]

You are correct

[Alwayreckles93]

My church does a charity we all help out our troops.

[Astarlessnightsky]

No, but spending taxes to end homelessness would be "communism", so people keep freezing on the streets.

[Asker]

NYC wants 12 more billion to take care of the illegals. Is that communism?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

That's America for you. This country gives to others and foreign countries but when it comes to helping their own they call and accuse you of being a commie or socialist.

[strateguy632]

the dnc pattern in many decisions everyone is first before u. s. citizen that is last.

[Anonymous]

No, and its obvious Biden couldn't care less.

[Asker]

I'm still trying to figure out why people voted for a guy who hates America and Americans.

[Anonymous]

Dude if you think any Democrat gives a damn about veterans you clearly haven’t been paying attention.

They hate us. And I hate them right back.

[AmeerX]

Your government's fault. Don't vote for a government that does this

[Asker]

I don't. I voted for Trump.

[AmeerX]

Yeah, Trump seems more sensible despite the propaganda.

[jjj101010]

There is enough room in America for both, there is so much land available, housing could be built to accommodate all of them

[strateguy632]

but ONLY if they OBEY immigration laws and process. rewarded people who break laws, is as stupid as giving terrorists what they demand. it rewarded and they will be motivated to repeat and also use any money ransom and freed prisoners for the next terrorism.

[jjj101010]

@strateguy632 yeah. For lawful migrants. They can make efforts to reduce the bureaucracy surrounding immigration to make it so people don’t need to enter illegally

[Asker]

But just come here legally.

[jjj101010]

Yeah. But make it easier for them to do so.

[Asker]

They obviously don't want to make it easy. I'm not sure why that is

[butterly248]

No one should be on the streets!

[Asker]

I agree.

[CalmUntilAbused]

I think You might be forgetting about someone... Who does actually make the decisions regarding the veterans' fate? A lesson in humility might be needed in their case.

[Asker]

@CalmUntilAbused
Who's that?

[CalmUntilAbused]

The ones who pass the bills regarding the matter. Though I guess the voters kind of do have their say in this matter, as well.

[Asker]

@CalmUntilAbused

Yeah, the voters are the problem.
