GOP rep says illegal migrants sent 'pallets' of hard-to-find baby formula
Cammack's claim comes as American parents worry about a shortage of baby formula
By Michael Lee

Pallets of baby formula are being sent to holding facilities at the border amid a shortage that has seen many parents unable to find it at their local stores, according to a GOP representative.

"They are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border," Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., said in a video posted to Facebook Wednesday. "Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula."

Cammack posted pictures to social media of empty formula shelves in Florida next to the pallets of food being sent to the border, saying in the video that a concerned border patrol agent sent her the image.

She said the picture comes from "Ursula processing facility" in Texas, where thousands are being housed and processed and then released." The Florida lawmaker said the concerned agent told her that she "'would not believe the shipment I just brought in.'"

"He has been a border patrol agent for 30 years and he has never seen anything quite like this. He is a grandfather and he is saying that his own children can't get baby formula," she added.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection did not immediately respond to a Fox News request to confirm the authenticity of the image.

The story comes as more than 100 House Republicans called on the Biden administration to do more to address the ongoing shortage that has sent worried parents scurrying from store to store in hopes of find formula.

"This issue is a matter of life and death, and it is time this administration treats it with the appropriate urgency it deserves," the GOP lawmakers said in a letter to Biden Wednesday.

Supply chain disruptions were exacerbated when Abbott, one of the country's largest formula manufacturers, was subject to a large safety recall. According to an analysis by Datasembly, who tracks product data for retailers, the out-of-stock percentage for baby formula currently sits at 43%, up from 30% at the beginning of April.

"This issue has been compounded by supply chain challenges, product recalls and historic inflation," CEO of Datasembly Ben Reich said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The category started to see stocking challenges beginning in July 2021, and the situation has continued to worsen into 2022."

The White House has said alleviating the formula shortage is a "top priority" for President Biden.

"That's something certainly we've been tracking. Ensuring that infant formula is safe and available for families across the country is a top priority to the White House," Incoming White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday.

Cammack made clear that she does not blame the children at the border for the issue, but said it is "infuriating to me is that this is another example of the America last agenda that the Biden administration continues to perpetuate."

"I don't know about you, but if I am a mother, anywhere anytime in America, and I go to my local Walmart or Target or Publix or Safeway or Kroger or wherever it may be that you shop and you are seeing their shelves and you are seeing signs that you are not able to get baby formula," she said. "And then you see the American government sending by the pallet thousands and thousands of containers of baby formula to the border, that would make my blood boil."

Cammack's office did not immediately respond to a Fox News request for comment.

No wonder Americans hate this guy with a passion. Putin or Xi would be more helpful to Americans than this horse's ass.

I :heart; Q

and FK ate it all? wtf?

no baby formula?

no more abortions?

great timing...

those repubs are such morons...

Um, this was at a holding facility, right? The people being held don't go to Walmart, stuff gets shipped to, yep, you guessed it, the holding facility. Including formula. Sheesh.

-------------------------
add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway

The Story here is there is no Story here..
Stuff gets shipped to random holding facilities all the time.
In many industries.
Many "Holding Facilities," are simply shipping containers, in giant yards full of shipping containers.
There can be no rhyme or reason as to where tha final destination of the product is.
This could be that simple.

Or. the baby formula was intentially shipped there. Sheduled in advance. When a baby is seperated from his or her mom, the baby needs formula. To keep it alive.

IT'S PRO LIFE.

FK.

"Here we are now. Entertain us."

this should be good.

Yo...shitforbrains.....they are sending a crapton of baby formula to the boarder to feed ILLEGAL immigrant babies ("And then you see the American government sending by the pallet thousands and thousands of containers of baby formula to the border)....
Yet babies that are CITIZENS of the United States are starving to death with NO baby formula!

FUCK YOU!

As Christians, we are called to Feed the Hungry.
Jesus fed the hungry.
Did Jesus ever discriminate?
We are all God's children.
Should we follow the teaching's of Christ?

No where did Jesus say for the GOVERNMENT to feed the hungry.

Every single instance of Jesus directives were PERSONAL...one on one.

Your prodding for me/us to have a government....ANY government to forcefully feed anyone with public monies...is ca-ca!

Go get into a BIBLE STUDY YOU IDIOT!

It's probably fake.

-------------------------
I was right.

Perhaps. Who can trust a photograph? Let's examine the evidence. We have a senile president. That senile president is legendary for screwing up everything he touches. This senile and extremenly dumb president has, by his actions, shown that he does not give a damn about the American people, but will shower billions of dollars of benefits on non-American's who are breaking the law. So, is taking the food out of the mouths of American babies and giving it to foreign criminals likely? Well, it is an extremely dumb thing to do. So, check. And only someone who is senile could possibly think this was a good idea. So, check. Is this a monumental screw-up? Check. Does this action screw Americans and benefit foreign criminals? Check. Nope, not fake.

Perhaps

You should have stopped there, the rest is wasted effort.

-------------------------
I was right.

I wonder if Trump drank all the baby formula ???

He probably thinks it's real.

lol

to the contrary, it was very productive effort. With the exception of the forum idiots, I convinced everyone that Dementia Joe is taking food out of the mouths of American babies.

I :heart; Q

did Jesus ever say the government should NOT feed the hungry.
I'm Pro Life.
feeding the hungry, is helping to keep babies alive.
would you prefer a government that outlawed abortion, and then let the babies starve?
you have missed the point of God's Love.
see you pastor.

I didn't bother to read it. You write drivel, reading it is wasted effort.



-------------------------
I was right.

FK, my congregation does a lot of giving. clothing, food, finances. you are such a cry baby. do you need to be suckled. do you need some of momma's nice warm milk?
sorry, we don't do that. but we'll pray for you. you seem to have anger issues. feed the hungry, fk. do you do that?
