Got his priorities right:
Trump to build national center for homeless veterans with funds previously spent on housing for illegal aliens
FIRST ON FOX: President
Donald Trump Friday signed an executive order to establish a national center for homeless
veterans with redirected funds previously spent on services for illegal aliens, Fox News Digital has learned.
The president’s order directs the secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish the National Center for
Warrior Independence on the Veterans Affairs campus in West Los Angeles.
Los Angeles has approximately 3,000 homeless veterans — more than any other city in the country, and accounting for about 10% of all homeless veterans in America, according to the White House.
"The new National Center for Warrior Independence will help them and other veterans like them rebuild their lives," the White House said.
The center will allow veterans from around the nation to seek and receive care, benefits and services "to which they are entitled," the White House said.

The order also ensures that veterans will have access to increased options for care, benefits and services —including reduced wait times for Veterans Health Administration appointments through options such as expanded hours, weekend appointments and virtual healthcare.
The order also directs a feasibility study at the Manchester VA Medical Center to expand services to support a full-service medical center in New Hampshire.

"President Trump strongly believes that every veteran deserves our gratitude, and that the federal government should treat veterans like the heroes they are," the White House said.
The order comes a week after the White House announced that Trump will host a military parade in June to honor military veterans and active-duty service members and commemorate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday.
The parade is scheduled for June 14, the
250th birthday of the United States Army.
