Letter: Spend $116 billion on veterans, not on illegal immigrants

American veterans put their life on the line for this country.

Spend $116B on veterans,
not on illegal immigrants

American veterans put their life on the line for this country. Illegal immigrants have done nothing for this country. Roughly 6,000 veterans commit suicide every year, many probably due to the lack of psychiatric help. Plus veterans who need medical help have to wait months to see a doctor, some of them dying before seeing a doctor.

This country spends $116 billion dollars annually on illegal immigrants. There are tens of thousands of Americans who are homeless on the streets. Americans are the ones who elected the people in Congress, to see that the needs of American citizens have priority over anyone else.

I for one think that the $116 billion spent on illegal immigrants should be used for Americans first. This country owes the illegal immigrants nothing.
