Finally. I am dismayed that the House of Representatives actually has taken a step toward gutting a measure designed to help veterans. The Border Jobs for Veterans Act of 2015a bipartisan measure that I cosponsored with my colleague Senator FLAKE designed to do just what the title says: to utilize the skills and expertise of our veterans to help fill vacancies at our borders. to use veterans to stop illegal immigrationthat bill has been gutted and unfortunately has been made a vehicle to deny health care to women. The provisions of this transformed legislation are a disservice to our veterans. I thought veterans legislation would be out of bounds for this fight.
