The more I thought about my NN 29 Dec 23 post, the madder I got, and as usual, it ended up spilling over into an email being sent to both Oregon Senators and Oregon’s District 4 Representative: Senator Wyden, Senator Merkley and Representative Hoyle: It has been reported that the president is using the VA to administer healthcare to the illegal aliens his policies have allowed to infiltrate this country. Common sense says it should be obvious, but the very name indicates who should be the beneficiaries of its services – VETERANS – not illegal aliens, just because the president feels the need to further ingratiate himself to the estimated 10 million illegals his open borders have allowed in. For Christ’s sake! We have to wait long enough for an appointment at the VA as it is. Now, it’s going to be an even longer wait. According to 2021 numbers, Oregon had 75,000 to 175,000 illegal aliens residing within its borders. If the VA opens its doors to even a fraction of those, our wait times will be untenable. If the Democrats and their woke progressive agenda don’t come back to the center – and quickly – 2024 will not be kind to them. Commonsense Oregon Republicans like me won’t lose any sleep over it. Still, if the Democrats in Western Oregon’s large metropolitan centers ever get tired of what’s going on, you guys are in trouble.
