Retired U.S. Army Major and physician Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) joined Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” Friday and rebuked the Biden regime for its alleged plans to pull doctors from the Dept. of Veterans Affairs and send them to the U.S. southern border in order to render medical assistance to migrants both legal and illegal.

A new caravan of migrants is expected to reach the U.S. southern border conveniently on the same day that Title 42 is to be discontinued by the administration, thereby removing the ability of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to reject and/or expel individuals who may have acquired a communicable disease such as COVID-19 outside the United States, Fox News reported.

Twenty-one states are taking legal action against the Biden regime in response to the termination of the policy, but it may not gain any traction against an authoritarian president who routinely ignores court rulings such as the continued implementation of former President Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy and the high court striking down a federal vaccine mandate for businesses of more than 100 employees.

The latest grotesque and arguably anti-American machination by the regime is to potentially pull doctors who normally serve veterans away from that calling and, instead, divert them to serve immigrants at the southern border as they attempt to migrate into the U.S.

“We have heard the rumor, so to speak, that that’s the plan. … You can’t say you love America and hurt the men and women who were wounded in combat defending it. That makes no sense at all,” Green told host Pete Hegseth.

Green also remarked on the travesty of leaving Americans behind in Afghanistan and Biden’s refusal to act sensibly and strategically in the U.S. surrender – a failure that led to the likely avoidable killing of 13 American service members.

“Now he is talking about taking their [veterans] healthcare providers away from them,” Green added.

More than 50 Republican lawmakers have beseeched the CBP to come clean as to whether they will use the VA medical personnel to aid in processing migrants, but an agency spokesperson would neither confirm nor deny the allegation, the outlet reported. The lawmakers penned a letter more than a month before Title 42 is set to end on May 23.

As BPR reported, the letter was signed by 53 House Republicans, among them the current GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik of New York, Kat Cammack of Florida, Dan Crenshaw of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, and Lauren Boebert of Colorado.

“On March 29, 2022, a CBP report indicated a surge of border crossings was imminent due to the rescinding of [the Title 42 policy],” the House Republicans, led by Rep. Jody Hice of Georgia, wrote in a letter addressed to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, according to Fox News.

“The report presents a dire situation that may result in as many as 18,000 possible encounters per day. If this number proves accurate, this could result in over 540,000 encounters in a single month. Currently, CBP does not have the facilities or manpower to handle the anticipated massive surge. Moving VA medical staff away from our veteran’s healthcare needs to examine illegal immigrants is a recipe for disaster. Wait times for a veteran to see their doctor can average 22 days and reach as high as 42 days. This is unacceptable mismanagement of federal government resources by the Biden administration,” the lawmakers argued.

In a separate statement, Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) criticized the Biden Administration for its flippancy in the matter.

Green described the notion of using doctors from the VA to treat immigrants – legal or illegal – who have not served the United States as “unconscionable.”

“They [veterans] are already waiting 42 days to get care at an appointment. Is he going to send them [doctors] to the border, putting illegal immigrants, drug dealers, human traffickers above the men and women who fought for this country?” he asked.

“You served, you don’t get V.A. services unless you were actually harmed while you were in combat serving our country. These are the men and women he is going to put behind people breaking our laws?” he added.

(It is not technically correct that only wounded servicemembers can acquire services from the Dept. of Veteran Affairs, but Green’s point is taken.)

  1. How about sending every Presidential, Senatorial and Congressional Doctor to the border??

  2. Go fk yr self fkjbiden .
    You ,and you alone created this fkn mess ,retired veterans do not need to go and clean up another of you fk ups .
    Maybe the veterans should send their retired snippers to go see you .
    Look what you fkd up in Afghanistan,13 marines dead ,
    Americans Left behind . Still there . USA in near ruins because of you ,you POS .
    Most Americans hate your guts ,and your puppeteer .
    America knows who the fkr is .

  3. I am a retired Army Physician and during my 22 years of active duty I never saw a Democrat President really give a damn about military personnel or veterans or their families. They and their spouses pay lip service to military personnel, veterans, and their families, but make horrendous policy decisions about their care. I suspect that a bill will appear in Congress sometime after the midterm elections granting all illegal aliens (yes, that is what they are…not migrants) citizenship so they can vote in the 2024 elections and return the Democrats to power so they can further destroy the country.

  4. Had to wait nearly a year for surgery at my local VA due to “staff shortage due to covid,” now this limp bizkit in the WH is going to take more away? I don’t care how long you’ve been registered demoncrap, if you have half a brain cell working you’ll start voting Republican. As a life long democrat who hasn’t seen a decent dem candidate since RFK, i can tell you – it doesn’t hurt at all.

  5. What should be going to the boarder is the 1st Marine division for Texas and the 82nd or 101st to Arizona, new Mexico and what boarder the dumbasses in California will let them have.
    No one enters and all are returned to the last country of origin. If the shoot, you are allowed to shoot back. That will end the stupid crap the Democrats and Biden have done this time.

  6. When Biden says, “And May God Protect Our Troops” at the end of his babbling jags, we know that INDEED the Troops need protection! From Joseph Robinette Biden. You know. Jill Biden’s husband. No, I mean it. It’s not a joke. I am not joking. No, really, it’s not hyperbole.

  7. The thought of even taking any doctors away from Veterans is disgusting and inhumane. These Veterans fought for our country, and this is how you want to treat them? It’s bad enough Americans are suffering but you want to add insult to injury! STOP IT! Close the border to immigration for now! This feckless, incompetent WH, Administration, all branches of gov’t, Dems, and yes, Rinos have absolutely done nothing to protect Vets, Americans, or America. You could really say you all sc**ed the pooch!

    1. I’m an 80 year old vet and this truly pisses me off. Fortunately, we do have “Community Care” in place now that if necessary, we can see an MD in our community. He/she doesn’t have to be affiliated with the VA. A referral from my VA primary care is all I need. BUT! The idea that this clown who received a medical and education deferment chooses to screw us first is just so typical of him and the damned dems and the damned libs. Somehow, we have become the enemy. And that sucks!
