LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): How much is [resettling Afghan refugees in the U.S.] going to cost us, Ray? 

RAYMOND ARROYO (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Well, it's unbelievable. They're talking Medicaid, food stamps, job training. The Biden administration is asking Congress for 6.4 billion to resettle these Afghans; 1.7 billion alone would go to HHS aid. That is welfare, Laura.

After what I saw in Los Angeles a few weeks ago, homeless veterans dying in tents, getting struck by cars in Brentwood. Shouldn't these citizens, our veterans, be our first priority if we're going to send billions? 

INGRAHAM: No, because they actually prefer noncitizens to citizens for a variety of reasons. So no, those veterans could be left in the street to die but we need — is this what they're calling them? HHS benefits? Isn't that just welfare? HHS benefits for 100,000 parolees into the country.
