I’m generally not for giving things away because it tends to devalue the good or service but how about this?

How about we package all the tax-payer-paid-for goodies we’re giving to illegals in the country and give them to active-duty military and veterans? They’re not getting anything for “free.” They dutifully served the country in a dangerous job, and they got paid almost nothing for it. Also, we’re in the middle of a military recruiting crisis. We could enhance their salaries and their educational benefits packages. We could get them better healthcare, and we could get them housing worthy of their sacrifice.

This is a NO-BRAINER, which is why it’ll never happen. Because most people in government have no brains.
