Sen. John Boozman (R-Ark.), a senior member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, is leading a coalition of Republican senators demanding that President Joe Biden not prioritize illegal immigrants over U.S. veterans.

The senators are demanding that the administration not divert Veterans Affairs Department health-care personnel away from helping veterans “to facilitate an expected surge of illegal immigration” at the southern border.
