American families are experiencing a potentially dangerous crisis—The baby formula aisle are running low. Damn near empty in some places. So it might make you a little more than angry to learn that this administration sent ‘palettes’ of infant formula to a holing facility near the Texas-Mexico border.
Florida Congresswoman Kat Cammack shared some disturbing photos on Twitter. One showing the fully stocked shelves of a border facility with formula stacked high. The other, the empty shelves of at Target.
“The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed with baby formula,” she wrote in a tweet showing fully stocked shelves, including Nido and Advantage brands.
“The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce. This is what America last looks like,” she added.

“We literally are struggling to find baby formula around the country,” Cammack said in a Facebook Live stream Wednesday. “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.’”
She added: “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.”
Watch
I’m not advocating for any babies to go hungry but I am outraged that this administration managed to fill these shelves when they have no intention to even discuss the shortages around the US until May 25th. And that’s just when talks open up. Who knows when we’ll have an actual resolution.
