The federal gov't is to blame for all of this. Two massive forced recalls on Abbott formulas and the FDA never did actually prove any linkage between the formulas and sick babies.We can’t avoid consequences for everyone
It’s another Covid like punishmentThe federal gov't is to blame for all of this. Two massive forced recalls on Abbott formulas and the FDA never did actually prove any linkage between the formulas and sick babies.
You can't intentionally short the supply of anything while increasing demand without creating shortages.
Coming from the abortion party it isn't even surprising.It’s another Covid like punishment
Duhhh, the shortage of formula is under the Dem administration.
Wonder who provided formula to the migrant babies, before they illegally crossed our borders????
We have some idiot leftists locally trying to blame it on Governor Abbott on the basis they believe he somehow controls Abbott Laboratories and engineered this shortage for his own political purposes.Duhhh, the shortage of formula is under the Dem administration.

Our treaty says that they are supposed to stay in the first "Safe country" they enter which would be Mexico and there's no evidence to suggest that they are not safe there.When Trump was President they didn't cross our borders thanks to his Stay in Mexico policy. But even for the ones that did, we didn't take the formula from the mouths of American babies to give to them.
Our treaty says that they are supposed to stay in the first "Safe country" they enter which would be Mexico and there's no evidence to suggest that they are not safe there.
You are supposed to apply for asylum in the US from your home country or the first "safe country" you enter, not by illegally entering the US.
Trump was absolutely right and it forced Mexico to start enforcing it's own southern border because they could not deal with the humanitarian problems the surge was creating in their own country.
Sadly, we even have leftists NGO/NPO's based in the US sending millions of dollars down to Mexico to provide for them on their journeys across MX to the US border.The problem is (to my knowledge) that Dementia removed the stay in Mexico policy and went back to catch and release, or as they call it now, catch and process. It was also a Trump policy that asylum claims be made at their US embassy which Dementia also removed. If you could not apply at a US embassy in your country and had to flee in emergency, you were automatically disqualified from asylum if you were offered it by any other country along the way.
These great policies kept people from making the trip to the US, and of course, bringing their babies with them thus making them our responsibility. If people were smart enough to vote for Trump over Dementia, our mothers would have more supply in which to feed their babies than today.
The left feels that since they created this problem, we the taxpayers should bring a solution to it. I agree The solution is to keep Democrats out of power for eternity.
Tommy socialism always leads to starving babies, pets, children, and adults. ALWAYS.Starving babies is a logical progression for GOP policy making.
You are insane, this shortage was created by the Biden Administration, not anything the GOP has done.Starving babies is a logical progression for GOP policy making.
Why punish American kids?Come on Westwall - what choice do those children have? Why punish them?
Not in the US, not according to anything in our constitution.Yes you can.
Birth confers rights.
That conferred citizenship for the freed slaves, try again.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
That is the only place where birth is mentioned. Nowhere does the Constitution mention rights given prior to birth or whether one is considered a person for Constitutional reasons prior to birth.
What I deny is that a fetus has a right to another person's body against that person's will.

At least that is what they are counting on.Illegal babies grow up to be Democrat voters.
American babies may or may not.
There's all the explanation anyone needs.
The current law says most of the aliens arriving in our nation by crossing the Mexican border are illegal. Illegal means they should not be here.Well...this hits the nail on the head, as indeed, for some, compassion is totally partisan and quite negotiable.
The baby formula shortage has led a number of Republicans to demonstrate their deep and abiding concern for the smallest among us, unless the "smallest" in question are ones Republicans don't want among us.
Texas Rep. Troy Nehls, for example, tenderly tweeted Thursday: "Baby formula should go to Americans before illegals. This should not have to be said."
Also not having to be said, apparently, is that undocumented children in U.S. care, by law, have to be fed. That and the whole "not feeding a baby is kind of wrong" thing, which in Nehls' mind must be morally negotiable.
Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, in a video posted on Facebook, said she is “so angry about this” fact that the government is giving food to infants in its care along the border. (I assume her anger is a form of love for all God’s children.)
“These are your tax dollars going to buy formula” for the immigrant babies, she said, before claiming without evidence that the babies she would like to see starve are also tragic victims of “violence and trafficking,” and calling President Joe Biden the “trafficker in chief.”
I mean, clearly it breaks Cammack’s heart to see these innocent infants harmed in any way, shape or form, and all she wants is for the government to immediately take away their food so they go hungry.
So clearly these Republicans are addressing the baby-formula shortage through the scriptural philosophy of: “All lives are precious, except these little immigrant whiners over here. They can pound sand.”
On Thursday, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the patron saint of logical consistency, said: “Food security is national security, and right now we have a food security crisis for the most vulnerable of Americans, the ones that we cherish the most, and that’s our babies.”
Yes. Our babies. But not other people’s babies, I guess.
I know some are going to see Greene’s concern about food insecurity as strange given that she and her Republican colleagues helped bring an end to the extended child-tax credit, which had lifted 3.7 million U.S. children out of poverty.
But were those really our children? Who's to say. Let’s assume they weren’t.
So, I take that to mean you support abusing infants based on immigration status but rather than owning up to it, blame others.
That’s the fallacy, it isn’t zero sum. Deciding that an infant within our country is worth less solely on the basis of nationality is abhorrent. Instead, if the situation was truly so bad that some infants had to be denied due it based on other criteria in consultation with pediatricians. For example those 12 mos and older can be safely transitioned to solid foods.If an infant is going to be punished one way or another, it should be an infant that shouldn't be here in the first place--not one of our own infants.
The current law doesn’t say that. The current law says people have a legal right to seek asylum. If they are asylum seekers, they are legal until they have their status determined by a hearing. At that point other laws determine what is done.The current law says most of the aliens arriving in our nation by crossing the Mexican border are illegal. Illegal means they should not be here.
If they were not here theere would be more baby formula available for the babies of people who are legally in our nation. There most likely would still be a shortage.
If I was a mother desperate for baby formula I might consider going into Mexico and acting like an illegal alien on the way back. That way my baby would get formula.
That’s silly.It does seem that often illegal aliens get better treatment that citizens in our nation.
Why “Illegal Alien” is the Correct Term | FAIRUS.org
Any person who resides in the United States but is not a U.S. citizen, is classified as an “alien.” Aliens who do not enter the United States through proper channels, or who overstay their visas, are in the country illegally. Therefore, those aliens who are in the United States unlawfully are...www.fairus.org
Conclusion
Using the term “alien” is not sinister or xenophobic. It is the correct legal term to describe a foreigner in the United States. Therefore, an “illegal alien” is simply a foreigner who is in the country illegally. Both of these terms have an established history in Anglo-American legal parlance and were never intended to be derogatory terms. Open-borders proponents are attempting to manufacture outrage over what we call illegal aliens so they can push a false narrative that minimizes the threats to national security and public safety that accompany massive illegal migration.
