Illegal immigrants are more beneficial to America than veterans. Everyone knows that. Even Trump lmao. Who doesnt love a lot of cheap labor. After doing his "mass deportation", he will still have more money allocated to maintaining illegals than helping veterans. He hates veterans as well. It costs less to America for them to stay homeless than to help. Even if its not money for illegals it still wont be money for veterans. Duh.

We owe veterans for every freedom we have. We owe illegals nothing.
@TheLionsDen72 Says:
This is complete BS. Look at every border stat and you find that the moneys spent on illegal immigrants is far higher than the moneys spent on veterans. Yet California is half the size of the reat of the United States. Even Florida ( a Red state) on spends in the millieach year on vets but constantly spends over a billion + in illeagal immigration. Dont just blame California for this problem. The Country as a whole has dropped the ball on doing what is right for vets. This vid is nothing more than click bait and another attempt to create a greater wedge. I volunteer regularly to help with the homelss. I give blankets and food. I have gone and bought tents, shoes, jackets etc. How many of you have gone out and personally made an effort to help a homeless vet or anyone who is homeless for that matter? As far as immigrants (illegals) go for the rest of the country..... the hard truth is that a large portion of illegals here 8n California is also do in part to their greencard expiring. This includes not only those in higher learning institutes but also those who are working the feilds. Everyone shits on California yet we supply almost 70% of the agriculture to the rest of the country. Who do you think works those feilds,farms? It is definitely not the entitled American who wants 20+ dollars an hour. These individuals dont even make minimum wage, have no benifets, and work in harsh temps for 10+ hours a day. As someone who also lived on a farm and has raised animals for food, lets see how many of you would trade in you cushy job for this life style. Guaranteed most of you would starve. Remember that thie class of people you are disparaging here is the same class that does the majority of the dirty work that nobody else wants to do in this country. If you want someone to blame for how Vets are truly mistreated in this country then blame the Federal government. That is where the funding comes from.

Vets dont tend to vote (D). Illegals they hope will once they get them the ability to vote. That's why CA doesn't like the vets.

Pretending to help illegals is just another way for the liberals to launder money

Shame on California…
@MrProy33 Says:
Dumb question. It's the fed's job to assist veterans, not the state.
@AlaskanSnowLeopard Says:
You wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably if it's weren't for our Veterans. Support our Troops.
@margaretbehler4935 Says:
I am a veteran with a service connected disability and illegal aliens get more assistance than l do.
@texrule6077 Says:
Want to thank a vet, keep Trump and those like him in office

Dumb question ain’t it????
@WonderWomanlovesSuperman Says:
Thank you for informing these people. So many just vote blindly for the wrong person. It's really sad, actually.
@sharkbros.9278 Says:
Some women, but mostly men, get it. Those who serve in our military PROTECT our nation.
@kylesmith7413 Says:
I don't agree with PragerU on everything, but I think it's a simple matter of common sense that you should reward those who choose to do the hard job that almost no one wants over active criminals... When the military takes a look at their recruitment numbers and pays the Rock millions to waste money... THIS VIDEO. THIS VIDEO IS YOUR ANSWER. You want to increase recruitment then say it with me, "reward the recruits and veterans".

OMG,,, UCLA failed. Because of Californians!!
@anthonymartinez4307 Says:
Weren’t veterans paid for their work or services? What happened to their earnings? If they lost a leg or arm or all limbs?, isn’t that the responsibility of the government to feed and house these men and women? What does illegals have to do with anything? Many illegals work and pay taxes nothing is given to them. Just because Biden & Harris flooded the gates don’t mean all immigrants are bad especially when Anglo Americans are not natives.
@karenpike2420 Says:
It's a disgrace that Californina puts illegal aliens before our veterans, many who come back damaged after serving and protecting us.
@johnnyvanes8352 Says:
It's time to recall Gavin newsom again, he passed a law to take away the rights of the parents , sounds like a dictator to me I didn't get to vote!!!!
@Squashylemon Says:
Don't worry the liberals will find a way to blame other people.
@King_Of_Games Says:
This is so stupid. Veteran funding has zero to do with illegal immigrants
@JJawsyW Says:
It's black and white. Veterans that risked it all to protect us and people crossing the border illegally breaking the law is an easy decision.
@crosslink1493 Says:
Yes, support for veterans. But that $23 billion for illegal aliens, is that only money from California's budget, or does that total include funds from the Federal government given to California to administer 'immigration management' for reasons of any sort, like illegals waiting for their immigration hearing? Kind of important to know before accusing just California in this, as the Federal government could be complicit in this caper.
@tiofelioabito8820 Says:
I'm a disabled veteran. Born and raised in LA. Still here because I'm not going to let them take my state. I can't afford to buy a home in my hometown.
@sallyvogel3724 Says:
Had to chuckle at the young lady who referred to veterans as”ex-veteran”…..honey, it’s “active duty military personnel” or “ military veteran”. Once a vet always a vet….. I am honored to have so many in my extended family!!

California likes illegals 20x more than veterans, sounds right.
@craigbuchanan5294 Says:
I think they should lock up the politicians who allowed this to happen!

What you did was a good thing. Thanks. I'm a veteran and I appreciate you.

"Only those who've had the courage to insure the freedom of strangers can truly comprehend its meaning and appreciate its value. Honor always, those willing to sacrifice their tomorrows for your today" Consider all the 1 month celebrations vs 1 DAY FOR US VETS.

Don’t forget to mention the dual citizenship holders no more of tax dollars going to anyone besides the American people.

@J.DiPietro Says:
I think there is more to this than the video is putting out. Yes, we spend on veterans and yes we spend on illegals. Right on the VA.gov budget page is 369 Billion for FY2025. Now I go to Budget.house.gov and see Rep Lisa McClain (R-MI) say we spend 66 billion on illegals and 3 billion on veterans. But the top of the page says $150 billion on illegals. Something isnt adding up. I dont want to downplay 150 BILLION dollars a year that could do so much for the nation in terms of infrastructure or veterans or farming grants or any number of things like extend unemployment, or education. I dont believe borders should be closed, but highly regulated.
@wafflewafflegod Says:
The general reverence toward veterans is a joke. Active combat veteran that actually saw combat? Sure. The rest? They just did a job and shouldn’t get any deference.
@JustMe-s6s4m Says:
The only money that should be spent on illegal immigrants is the bulldozer required to push them back. No, that is not unethical nor immoral. It is unethical and immoral to ignore citizens of a nation and allow criminals (that what "illegal" means!) to run free taking resources away from the citizens. I don't care what "reasons" (aka excuses!) they think they have. If they want into a country, they have to do it the legal way. If they don't like the way it is at home, change it! Don't tell me that can't be done... better yet, look up Romania and what they did with Nikolai. THEY solved their problem.
@marshahamilton1329 Says:
My son who is a Veteran said that once you get out of school the government should make everyone go through boot camp and sever two years for our country… I agree with him.. America would be SO much better.
@leozug Says:
I have several friends who are veterans. Several have said they didn’t defend anything. They are part of a huge money making machine with propaganda as the main weapon.
@MireyaChavarria-n4d Says:
I feel respect for the veterans but the illegals pay taxes ITIN make your homework well
@bryantwalley Says:
There is a problem with your video title. There is no such thing as an "illegal immigrant". The person is either an immigrant (person following the legal migration process) or an illegal alien (criminal breaking the law).
