Republicans are putting pressure on President Joe Biden after reports that baby formula was sent to illegal immigrant holding centers in Texas amid a nationwide shortage of the products.
“Children are our most vulnerable, precious Texans and deserve to be put first. Yet, President Biden has turned a blind eye to parents across America who are facing the nightmare of a nationwide baby formula shortage,” said Republican Gov. Gregg Abbott and National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd in a statement.
On Thursday, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said she received photos showing stocked shelves with baby formula at a holding center in Hidalgo, Texas. The lawmaker said a Border Patrol agent sent her the photos and was concerned amid a reported shortage of formula nationwide.
