Republicans criticized the Biden administration on Thursday for providing food to infants detained in its custody effectively suggesting the babies should be starved because of their immigration status.

The Biden administration has been sending pallets of baby formula for illegal mothers and their babies while American mothers and babies cannot find baby formula, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said at a news conference . This is completely unacceptable, and this needs to end now.

Baby formula should go to Americans before illegals, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) wrote on Twitter . This should not have to be said.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) accused the administration of giving critical supplies to illegal immigrants before the very people he took an oath to serve.

Greene referenced photos of baby formula at a border facility, likely referring to a Washington Examiner article about immigrants detained at the border receiving baby formula amid a nationwide shortage. Nehls also tweeted a link to the article. The Examiner refers to the immigrants as a lucky group and cites posts by Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) about thousands and thousands of containers of baby formula being sent to the border. Cammack said she received a photo of the deliveries from a border agent.

Cammack called on people to demand the Biden administration take the baby formula that they have basically siphoned out of the supply chain and put it back in the damn stores for American kids.
