Senator Tuberville criticizes President Biden's administration for providing healthcare administrative services to illegal migrants amid the border crisis, claiming it exacerbates wait times for American veterans at VA facilities.

He introduces the No VA Resources for Illegal Aliens Act to address the issue, highlighting the strain on VA resources due to the influx of migrants.

The arrangement between the VA's Financial Service Center and ICE to process claims for migrant medical care predates the Biden administration.

The VA clarifies that it doesn't provide healthcare or pay for it, but ICE covers fees for claims processing services.

Tuberville hopes for bipartisan support for the bill, citing the importance of veterans' issues, especially in an election year.

He also criticizes the Biden administration's handling of border security and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, calling for stronger measures to deter crossings.

A White House official dismisses Tuberville's comments as "completely false.
