Saudi Arabia, a country who has harsh Islamic laws —the very strictest as they practice Wahhabism, considers non-citizens expendable. Many Bangladeshis and Sri Lankans travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for work. While traveling down a hot and arid high-speed road, you’ll see people literally sweeping the sand from that road so that motorists won’t end up ditched in a dune. Sometimes these highway sweepers are clipped by cars…what happens? Nothing. As they were really not supposed to be in the country in the first place. They are considered strangers in the land and are not citizens of the Arabian country.* Does that sound a bit harsh? One could call for the battle cry of crimes against humanity, but Saudi is not known for their human rights.
Now, let’s jump onto the pendulum that swings to the tippy top of the other side: The United States of America.
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard someone say, “military flies for free!” or “military spouses and their bags fly for free” or “military members don’t have to pay taxes” or “the military gets free healthcare.” My reply, “WRONG!” I’ve tried my best to imitate Charlie Murphy’s voice in Dave Chapelle’s “True Hollywood Stories: Rick James’ Skit” but I just can’t get my voice that low. Just wait until I get my hormone shots—I’m sure I can nail it.
The facts: Military does NOT get free healthcare as they have signed their life and limb to protect the country at the Washington elites’ leisure. That is THEIR payment, and it is the least the government can do — provide healthcare to our troops even if it is government-run healthcare which is definitely not the best. Military and milspouses do pay for their own airline tickets, and both have to show a valid ID when they fly. Milspouses pay for each and every bag that is checked on a flight. Military do PAY taxes, and retired military (20 years) have to pay taxes on their pensions. Milspouses pay for their dental and vision plans AND have a copay— some do have an annual eye examination (under TriCare), but pay for prescriptions and frames if they do not have a separate vision plan. Milspouses can get a deal on a four-year degree from some limited colleges, but generally pay some money for that degree. If military spouses (women—because ONLY women can get PREGNANT) seek IVF, they must pay for that out-of-pocket. When the military member retires, what happens to the milspouse’s healthcare plan? It ceases to exist.
Illegal aliens who break into our county get what? Free medical. Free dental. Free vision. A free airline trip with NO ID required—unless you consider an arrest warrant an ID. Free childcare. Free EBT cards. Free prenatal and postnatal medical care. Free education. Public schools are overcrowded because of illegal immigration. In addition, they can receive college tuition assistance from some states. Subsidized housing. If an illegal alien has a baby or babies in the United States…not to worry! They are covered under MediCaid. They are also able to get food stamps and are eligible for WIC. Some even got tax refunds with their fake social security cards and a bigger tax refund than citizens. Not only do they get money from the federal government but some states give them money too. Free, free, free!
In 2017, Judicial Watch reported that $134.9 BILLION went to illegal immigration. Now, in 2021 the Biden Regime will spend even more of your money to pay for ID cards for illegal aliens at the sum of $10 MILLION.
Can you imagine what that $134.9 Billion would cover FOR Milspouses and their children? Full dental, full optometry, full childcare, full education, full college tuition, no copays, IVF, adoption, full healthcare AFTER retirement…
Why is it that MilSpouses who live like gypsies —moving from place to place every three years, some going for years without seeing their spouses and worrying if they are going to lose limbs from an IED or possibly killed, are single parents during deployments, change jobs, live far away from family and friends — get LESS support than people who break into our country???
Americans, aren’t you ecstatic that illegal aliens receive more than milspouses?
