In What Ways Does America Treat Illegal Immigrants Better Than Veterans?

[sandyRoe]

It's a claim that seems unlikely to me.

[ummmm]

I very much doubt they are. The problem with lots of ex service men is the mental health issues and them not seeking/affording the proper care they need.

All military should be retrained before they are discharged. I don't mean retrained for employment, retrained mentally.

It seems unlikely to you? Based on any evidence or just 'a feeling'?

[Old_Geezer]

It'd need an American to explain; but maybe vets are seen as existing citizens who are expected to know that one should fend for oneself rather than expect the State to provide, whilst immigrants are viewed as folk who have little, are in a strange land, know nothing, and need help getting started ?

Where is the evidence for this, one way or another Sandy ?

[sandyRoe]

A feeling, nothing more.
But I can't believe illegal immigrants are housed in five star hotels while veterans of Americans wars who suffered physically or mentally are left to sleep on the streets.

[sandyRoe]

Trump made this claim but offered not a shred of evidence to back his allegation.

[youngmafbog]

Probably has happened at some point for some reason or other.
Same happens here we treat some immigrants better than those born here. All part of right on liberalism.

Bit like your position, then, sandy. Except he is American and probably knows a bit more about it than you do.

Not sure if there is any evidence but when has that stopped him

[sandyRoe]

Me or Trump?

[TWR]

It seems you are right Sandy if the UK I anything to go by, as soon as they get here, they seem to get help with housing etc, or have I got this wrong?

[mikey4444]

Ric....too true. This is Trump grandstanding again, leaping onto another passing bandwagon.

[RATTER15]

We hear the same here, prisoners being treated better than the elderly and foreigners being treated better than the locals etc.

Its all just a of old twaddle!!

[mikey4444]

Ratter...yes, but highly popular twaddle.

[RATTER15]

I agree Mikey, very popular subject, its still incorrect though, but the fact that it is incorrect stops no one from from spouting it time after time.

[mikey4444]

I agree Ratter....it has taken on the mantle of an urban myth.
