While the Biden-Harris regime has prioritized illegal immigrants over homeless veterans, a Donald Trump presidency would defund migrant shelters and redirect funds to help get them off the streets, the former president declared Monday.
Trump unveiled the new policy proposal during a National Guard event in Detroit, Michigan, promising to fix the illegal alien fiasco the Biden-Harris administration has facilitated in sanctuary cities across America.
“Under Kamala Harris, American veterans are treated worse by far than illegal aliens,” Trump said adding that illegals, “they stay in hotels.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Under Kamala, American veterans are treated worse — by far — than illegal aliens. She has spent over $1 billion to house illegals in luxury hotels as more than 41,000 homeless American veterans are living in squalor on our streets.

“We have veterans sleeping on the street, and inside luxury hotels you have people that came into our country, many from prisons, many from mental institutions, many terrorists, and they are treated better than our veterans,” Trump continued.
He went on to point out Biden’s “border czar” has “spent over $1 billion of taxpayer money to house illegal aliens and foreign migrants in some of the most expensive housing and hotels anywhere in the country.”
“Meanwhile more than 41,000 homeless American veterans are living in squalor on our streets.”
The former president declared once he’s re-elected, he’ll reverse the Democrats’ migrant shelter policies, instead using that money to help veterans.

“When I take office, I will sign an executive order to stop every penny that Harris has been spending on the shelter and transport of illegal aliens, and we will redirect that money to provide shelter and treatment for homeless American veterans,” Trump said.
“And we will end very rapidly veterans homelessness in America,” the former president added.
It remains to be seen how long it will take for the Kamala Harris campaign to copy and announce the same proposal.
