Illegal immigrants getting 'pallets' of baby formula at detention center while shelves are nearly empty in American stores, US congresswoman declares

Republican U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack said that "pallets" of baby formula are being delivered to an illegal immigrant detention center in Texas while Americans' chances of finding formula on supermarket shelves grow more slim by the day.

What are the details?

Cammack, a Florida lawmaker who was elected in 2020, indicated in a pair of Facebook videos Wednesday that a Border Patrol agent at the Ursula facility in McAllen sent her photos showing pallets of baby formula and other food for infants that had been delivered to the detention center.

“They are sending pallets — pallets — of baby formula to the border,” Cammack said. “Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula."

"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 related Twitter post. "The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce. This is what America last looks like."

Cammack added in her first video that "we literally are struggling to find baby formula around the country; moms are struggling, going from store to store to store and then the stores are actually capping the amount of baby formula they will sell them."

The congresswoman called it "unconscionable" and said the administration of President Joe Biden is responsible for the "open border policy" that is "crushing the middle class."

"They hate everything about [former President] Donald Trump so much ... they're willing to hurt their own citizens," Cammack added, saying it's "absolutely outrageous."

Cammack posted a second video later Wednesday and was no less outraged, saying the Border Patrol agent told her, "Kat, you would not believe the shipment I just brought in."

She went on to say that "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.”

While she wasn't happy that the baby formula was going to "illegals that are crossing into the United States," Cammack said "it is not the childrens’ fault at all."

Rather what is "infuriating" is "that this is another example of the America last agenda that the Biden administration continues to perpetuate," she added.

“I don't know about you, but if I am a mother in anywhere, any-town 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, 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 also said.

Anything else?

Cammack told her viewers that Republicans in Congress are doing what they can about the issue, but "we have zero leverage."

The federal Office of the Administration for Children & Families — which oversees the Office of Refugee Resettlement — on Thursday didn't immediately respond to TheBlaze's request for comment on Cammack's claims.
