AZSEN Republican candidate Blake Masters said immigrants illegally in the country are treated “better than military veterans.” That’s inaccurate. In terms of health care, pension, housing and education benefits, veterans fare better.

has found key areas where the advantage goes to veterans.

Health care: The VA health system and Medicaid are available for free to veterans in need. Although people in the country illegally can receive free emergency care, they are ineligible for Medicaid and any insurance through the Affordable Care Act.

I knew illegals personally & I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt Blake is 100% right. How about you actually do your research Politifact? Maybe you would get some credibility back.

False. Military veterans GAVE something to earn their benefits. What did illegal migrants give for theirs?

Adam's NYC served and housed illegals with caterers that cook their national food with giant 📺, gaming hall and to bathe. Homeless couldn't get in.

Yea bra, it’s kinda like…having to fact check that in the first place is a problem, in the macro. In the micro, it further shows that ‘fact checkers’ are twats.

Lol bullshit! I know carries water for the DNC but this is ridiculous. How many homeless veterans do we have in this country vs homes illegals. Illegals get better Healthcare than our military. STOP LYING

He would know how the GOP voted not too help the! burnpit veterans

Provably, demonstrably true. By what metrics are you manipulating the reader this time?

This “fact check” is why your entire organization is a joke.

GOP leaps back into contention in Arizona Senate raceBlake Masters is running just a handful of points behind Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly in recent polling. Like sportscasters on TV. Always want to make it an even horse race. Good for clicks. 😉 Why not have a headline that says Kelly continues to hold a solid lead in Arizona What a disgrace to be putting in the yes men. I hope the Independents have sense to split the ticket. As a Republican, I'm fond of the 2 or 3 party system, not one party rule.

Hispanics in Texas support Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant busing programTexas Gov. Greg Abbott's campaign to bus illegal immigrants deeper into the country remains popular among his state's voters -- and that includes Hispanic voters. As Chuck Schumer said in 2009, “illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple.” With our own immigrant families, we believe America is still a welcoming country, but there is a right way to do it.

PolitiFact - Debunking a fake claim about cuts to Social Security if Republicans win the HouseA screenshot of a purported House Republican plan to cut back Social Security, Medicare, and disabled veterans’ benefits appears to be a fabrication. The party’s agenda document doesn’t include such language. Even so, that's what Republicans do. They cut social programs to the bones but give millionaires tax breaks. Seems entirely plausible tho GOP tactics don’t stand well

PolitiFact - Marco Rubio said someone could blow up a ballot drop box, ignoring safe track recordMarco Rubio said there is “danger involved” in mail ballot drop boxes and that people could blow them up with explosives. That’s fear mongering. Rubio himself touted the convenience of drop boxes in 2020. Not to split hairs, but you can blow up pretty much anything with explosives. I really don't see his point. If that's fearmongering then pretty much any argument involving ill consequences could count as fearmongering. Looking forward to PolitiFact applying this standard consistently. j/k Hmmm... That could happen & I could wake up tomorrow w/o cancer...6ft. tall rail thin ... Win the lottery & proof of what trump has on you..that turned you into a traitor... We all dream... hahahahaha..
