Lawmaker Says Migrants Are Getting ‘Pallets’ Of Baby Formula Amid Nationwide Shortage
Daily Caller ^ | Jennie Taer

Posted on 05/16/2022 2:47:46 AM PDT by cba123

Migrants are receiving ample supplies of baby formula, according to Republican Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, while Americans are experiencing severe formula shortages.

Photos allegedly taken by a Border Patrol agent at the Ursula Processing Center in McAllen, Texas showed fully stocked shelves of baby formula supposedly given to migrants, according to a Wednesday Twitter post by Cammack. The photos come as Americans across the country are seeing empty shelves where stores used to have baby formula as a result of the supply chain crisis and product recalls.

(From a tweet from the article)

"The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed with baby formula.

The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce.

This is what America last looks like."

Shameful, biden.

“We literally are struggling to find baby formula around the country. Moms are struggling, going from store to store to store and then the stores are actually capping the amount of baby formula that they will sell them, but and this got sent to me by a Border Patrol agent this morning and said, ‘This is disgusting. You will not believe this. They’re receiving pallets, and more pallets of baby formula at the border,'” Cammack said in a Facebook Live stream Wednesday.

Let the mothers and fathers of hungry infants lead the resistance. I’ll sit here and wait.

I don't know the numbers, but I am pretty good at guestimating math and I don't believe it.

This migrant formula share is small.

The issue here is that due to the long-running communist policies there are only 4 baby formula factories, one had a big recall and is closed and imports are blocked by bureaucracy.

The world is full of quality baby formula and if the import restrictions were lifted then the companies would do the rest and have their shelves full.

True. Here is the baby formula aisle in my local grocery store (in a small city in Thailand). Not only full, but they have sales going on (like buy 2, get 1 free)

Shipping so much of the formula to the border and to Ukraine is probably the main cause of the shortage, after shuttering the manufacture and shipping.

The cause of reduced production is that due to the communist structure there are only 4 baby formula factories in the US and one had a recall and is closed.

It causes a shortage because due to COMMUNIST REGULATION Americans aren’t allowed to import from other countries, all of which have plenty of formula.

This is one of the things that the free market would fix easily.

When you are a parent, protecting your children is job one even if it means standing in a ration line. That’s part of the plan.

An understandable sentiment; too many of them wanted the nanny state to provide everything (free daycare and such). Thankfully my children are all grown; I couldn’t imagine dealing with this - but I’ve never voted for a Democrat in my lifetime.

Maybe...except our policies keep ships with goods at anchor for weeks at a time.

Everything these dumblecrats do is for an ultimate reason to hurt and subdue US.

I read from here - https://capitolism.thedispatch.com/p/americas-infant-formula-crisis-and?s=r - that people are ordering formula from German Amazon and if the FDA catches it they’ll confiscate it.

Surely if people are already willing to order personal packages from overseas at the risk of confiscation the cost of a large legal shipment would be insignificant.

Very good point. The tyranny of unelected bureaucracy.

Thank you Rep. Cammack
Thank you USBP person who stepped up with confirmation even probably under sever penalties if discovered

Both of you need your head on a swivel going forward b/c you are now designated as enemies of the regime- NSA and DOJ are right know rifling through your digital underwear drawer

Note MSM has no response and have not actively smeared her and the story has been out for over a week- means painfully unequivocally true and verified

My understanding of the priority order is as follows:

1. US Border
2. US WIC Program
3. Ukraine
4. US Department Stores and Supermarkets

Surprised there’s any left at all for American babies.

The media is deliberately and intentionally keeping this fact from the public.
