What is your opinion?

Question

I just read an article in yahoo from the Salt lake Tribune (death by the border). That the Gov. gives $816 dollars for the burial of an illegal alien trying to get into the U.S. But why do they only give $250 dollars for help in burying a former veteran? Pretty insulting wouldn't you agree. That an illegal alien is worth more to our country than one that was willing to die for it?

THANKS for the updated info. christopherc. its good to see them push it up a bit, but still most of the vets being buried today are only eligible for $250.00

Answer 1

I HAD NO IDEA THAT IS AN INSULT TO ALL THE VETERANS. MY DAD WAS A VETERAN AND WHEN HE DIED MY MOM HAD TO GO THROUGH SO MUCH RED TAPE JUST TO GET THE $250.00. THEY ARE ACTUALLY GIVING $816.00 TO SOMEONE WHO IS SNEAKING INTO OUR COUNTRY AND FEEL THAT $250.00 IS ADEQUATE TO GIVE FOR BURIAL TO SOMEONE WHO WAS WILLING TO DIE FOR THIS COUNTRY.

Answer 2

At first I thought the article just left out some facts so I looked up the veterans benefit program...even with the state and fed dollars it adds up to a whopping $500. Not really surprised though once you consider some of the anti-American solider post we see in here. So I'll keep my life insurance policy paid up!
