While American shelves sit empty of baby formula, the Biden Administration is reportedly sending “pallets” of baby formula to the border.
“Biden is sending pallets of baby formula to the border. Meanwhile, store shelves across America are empty and moms are being told they don’t know when more is coming in. Welcome to Biden’s America where American moms and dads are last. What is infuriating to me is that this is another example of an America last agenda,” Republican Congresswoman Kat Cammack said.
Cammack made these comments on Hannity:
The Biden administration is one massive dumpster fire. This is typical of this administration: no plan, no contingencies, no way to backfill 43% of our nation's baby formula supply. 1/3 pic.twitter.com/RGCQa4pnBO

And just tonight they have prohibited rank and file Border Patrol agents from going into those storerooms because they're panicked that we have exposed yet another crisis at the border. This America last agenda has to stop, and we need to put our kids and parents first. 3/3

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.

From the New York Post:
As American families deal with a shortage of baby formula across the US, a Florida Republican lawmaker has released images of dozens of boxes of the coveted product at a migrant processing facility near the US-Mexico border.
Rep. Kat Cammack shared pictures of “pallets” of infant formula at the Ursula Migrant Processing Center in McAllen, Texas on her Twitter and Facebook pages Wednesday.
“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 accompanying side-by-side photographs of full and bare shelves. “The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce. This is what America last looks like.”
Cammack’s office shared several additional images supposedly from the same location with The Post on Thursday.
Well well…look what we have here…😡

Just the News added:
Cammick says in one post, a nearly 15-minute Facebook video, that a border agent sent her photographs of the deliveries, one of which she posted online, next to a picture of empty store shelves.
“This was taken at Ursula processing facility [in McAllen, Texas] where thousands are being housed and processed and then released,” Cammack also says in the video from Capitol Hill.
She said the agent told her: ” ‘ Kat, you 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.”
Just the News contacted U.S. Customs and Border Patrol on Thursday morning for a request for comment, but the agency had yet to respond by the time this story was posted.
The shortage is being attributed largely to supply-chain problems dating back to at least November 2021, then the Food and Drug Administration’s shutdown in February of a Michigan-based manufacturing plant belonging to Abbott Laboratories and the recalled three of its powdered baby formula brands – including the widely popular Similac.
