Lisa McClain Confronts Witness Over Federal Spending on Illegal Immigrants vs. Homeless Veterans
In a passionate exchange, Rep. Lisa McClain criticized the federal government's $66 billion spending on illegal immigrants compared to a fraction spent on homeless veterans. McClain cited specific figures for SNAP benefits, Medicare, education, and housing, arguing that taxpayer money should prioritize veterans. She suggested redirecting funds to programs like the National Call Center for Homeless Veterans and caregiver support, urging a focus on "taking care of our own first." McClain claimed the Biden administration opposes these shifts, calling on them to be transparent about where funds are allocated. She emphasized that her constituents care deeply about supporting veterans and are "frustrated and fed up."
