Nearly 200,000 Homeless Veterans In The United States And 500 In Utah, But A Foreign Refugee Family Gets A Fre?
Nearly 200,000 Homeless Veterans In The United States And 500 In Utah, But A Foreign Refugee Family Gets A Free Van And Rent-Free House In Salt Lake …Where are our priorities?
According to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, the number of homeless veterans in the United States is nearly 200,000 (VA estimates 154,000). At least 500 of them are in Utah. Of course, many of them are transient, so it is difficult to accurately and consistently track these people.
Yet despite this problem, a refugee family who just arrived in the United States has been given a free van and free rent on a conventional single-family home (until they get on their feet financially). Report and news video from KSL Channel 5:
The U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) says the nation’s homeless veterans are mostly males (4 % are females). The vast majority are single, most come from poor, disadvantaged communities, 45% suffer from mental illness, and half have substance abuse problems. America’s homeless veterans have served in World War II, Korean War, Cold War, Vietnam War, Grenada, Panama, Lebanon, Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan), Operation Iraqi Freedom, or the military’s anti-drug cultivation efforts in South America. Forty-seven percent of homeless veterans served during the Vietnam Era. More than 67% served our country for at least three years and 33% were stationed in a war zone.
That’s right – at least one-third of them actually put themselves in harm’s way. Yet instead of showing gratitude, we allow a foreign refugee family to take precedence over them. We can find money to send the kids of illegal aliens to college at in-state tuition rates, but we can’t find money to guarantee every honorably-discharged veteran at least an associates degree at public expense, which might mitigate the homelessness (current service members have to elect and contribute towards their own college fund while in service). Where are our priorities?

I’ve tried to explain this before. Let me try again. Your government hates you. Businesses in America hate you. Both of them want you dead and gone. They want to replaced you with a much more subservient race of people. IE the messicons. The messicons have been slaves in messico for ever. Messico is a VERY rich country. Messico has the second most billionaires in the world. Yet most messicons are dirt poor. Why because the average messicon is a peasant who won’t stand up and fight for their rights. That servant mentality is why both big government and big business want them here and you Americans gone. If they cant murder you, if they can’t jail you, if they can’t enslave you in some other way they will just flood your country with the race who they can enslave. And yes business from ford to yahoo are all in on it as well as both political parties. It’s hard but that’s the truth.
