I'm a Vietnam Veteran, and like most vets, feel my entire life was affected and changed by serving our country in a war engagement. At age 69, and 47 years after active duty, I still am experiencing the affects. I'm thankful for the veterans services that were and are provided, but my life would have been much better off had I not been sucked into that war. War veterans need backing by their country more than we need more refugees draining the social welfare systems. I was never on any welfare, even though I qualified by my low or no income and housing, at times. Even living in a tent, without a vehicle, and no job for 6 months, I did not seek any welfare. These refugees are ushered into the welfare system as they are entering the country. It's no wonder some risk their lives to get here. Not learning English helps keep them unemployed. Well, the saying goes, "We fought to keep our country FREE"!

It don't take brain sargon to know our veterans come first but Democrats don't care about that. They turned their backs on them and think illagals more important. ZBuild the wall and stop all the free stuff.
