**Betrayal**
As Americans celebrate Veterans Day, the stark contrast between honoring our veterans and the priorities of Washington politicians has never been clearer.
Veterans like James, a veteran who recently turned to organizations for assistance amid fears of missed paychecks, exemplify the struggles facing those who served our country.
Despite risking their lives for American freedom, these heroes now find themselves sidelined as Democrats prioritize illegal immigrants over veterans.
Recent months have seen the Democratic leadership divert resources away from those who defended our nation, opting instead to roll out the red carpet for those who entered the country illegally.
While these politicians engage in political games, it is everyday Americans—especially our veterans—who pay the price.
This past government shutdown exemplifies that betrayal.
Senate Democrats chose to play politics with a proposed funding bill, which would have enabled the continuation of vital support for veterans.
Instead, they wasted time on a bill laden with “subsidies” for illegal immigrants, leaving veterans in precarious positions and exposing the deep-seated priorities that often overlook our nation’s defenders.
The impact is more significant than mere politics; it manifests in tangible struggles for those who wore the uniform.
Homelessness among veterans has surged, while illegal migrants find themselves with resources and shelters that our veterans can only dream of.
This disconnect is not just disheartening; it is profoundly unjust.
Moreover, as the administration touts its governmental decisions, veterans navigate a healthcare system marred by long wait times and inadequate support, further exacerbated by a lack of accountability within the Veterans Affairs (VA).
In stark contrast, Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona is demonstrating true commitment to our veterans.
He recently introduced three bills aimed at enhancing care and dignity for veterans.
These reforms call for better oversight of the VA to ensure accountability and prevent corruption, allowing tax dollars intended for veterans to actually serve them.
Biggs urges Congress to take action that reflects the sacrifices made by service members rather than merely paying lip service through speeches and hollow ceremonies.
His commitment embodies a principle many Republicans adhere to: that veterans deserve sincere action and concrete solutions.
As American citizens reflect on the sacrifices made by those in uniform today, it is imperative to remember that honoring our veterans means holding our leaders accountable and demanding they prioritize the heroes who safeguarded our freedoms.
As we express gratitude this Veterans Day, let’s also advocate for concrete changes that will ensure veterans receive the respect and care they so richly deserve.
It is high time that the voices of veterans and their families are prioritized over the demands of those who disregard the sacrifices that built this nation.
