Obama Cuts Funding For Vets, Gives Out Free Cash To Amnesty-Granted Illegals

President Barack Obama announced Thursday evening that as a part of his
newest executive order, which will grant amnesty to five million illegal
aliens, he will also be cutting federal spending on military veterans by a
staggering 65%, with those savings being handed out to those illegals who
will be getting amnesty.

During a major immigration reform speech held Thursday, President Obama will
detail his amnesty plan, which will allow five million illegal immigrants to
stay in the United States, with work visas. But his executive action will
also be giving out a year’s worth of Medicaid coverage and $500 cash to each
of those illegals, costing US taxpayers $97.8 billion, money which he’ll be
taking from the Veteran’s Association.

“Let me be clear, this isn’t a hand-out,” Obama declared during the speech.
“We aren’t giving these immigrants anything unfairly. These folks have had a
very difficult time assimilating themselves with our culture and our
economy. They’re working jobs under the table where they’re often treated
unfairly, and aren’t protected by the same labor laws so many Americans take
for granted. So this will help these immigrants integrate themselves into
our society and will help put them on a path to citizenship quicker and
easier than they could otherwise.”

As for the cuts to the VA, Obama claimed he’d thought long and hard about
the decision. “This wasn’t something I came to easily. But part of governing
is making tough choices, and I had to make one of those here with this
executive order. We’ve spoken with officials over at the VA, and they’ve
assured me they can trim some fat and cut through some bureaucracy to save
some money. And as I stated earlier, it’s important that these immigrants
are given a footstool to help them climb out of the substandard conditions
they’ve been facing.”

The news came as a shock to many, particularly Republicans, who have been
opposing Obama’s executive order publicly since he first announced his
plans. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) gave a fiery interview Thursday morning where
he vowed to fight the Obama administration “with every ounce of being I
have.”

“It’s absurd, the things Obama thinks he can get away with,” Cruz said.
“He’s not a king, he’s not an emperor. This is simply outrageous. Taking
money away from American war heroes, veterans who served this country
bravely and proudly, and handing it over to people who aren’t even American
citizens, and don’t speak our American language. It’s insulting to know this
man is still president.”
