Pro-Death Republicans Want To STARVE Immigrant Babies Amid Formula Shortage

Right-Wing lunatics like Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Marjorie Greene are spreading lies about the baby formula shortage, claiming that President Biden is sending formula to migrant babies in detention centers. These ‘pro-lifers’ are now petitioning for the death of migrant babies in order to give formula to American citizens, completely disregarding the actual cause of the shortage: corporate greed and deregulated businesses. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, and Jessica Burbank discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET. http://youtube.com/theyoungturks/live

"A statement from Texas Governor Greg Abbott condemning Joe Biden’s administration for providing baby formula to migrant children in detention centers has faced widespread criticism, accusing the Republicans of politically motivated anti-immigrant rhetoric during a nationwide formula shortage.

“Our children deserve a president who puts their needs and survival first – not one who gives critical supplies to illegal immigrants before the very people he took an oath to serve,” the governor said in a joint statement with the president of a union representing border patrol agents.

The governor’s statement follows similar remarks from Republican officials like Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who accused federal agencies of sending formula to “illegal mothers and their babies” at the US-Mexico border, rhetoric that has echoed across right-wing media.

A recall of formula produced at a Michigan manufacturing facility – along with a Covid-19-fuelled supply chain issues – has made formula difficult for families to find, or subject to purchase limits in stores, after manufacturers shut down and warehouse stocks were recalled but not replaced. US formula is largely monopolized, with stringent regulations on imports; shortages from the recall are compounded by demand among a handful of companies relying on the same fragile supply chain.

President Biden has called on federal agencies to help address the shortages, including easing rules that manufacturers must follow for their products to be eligible under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC, which supports low-income families."
