'I can't come up with the words to describe how despicable and inhumane this is.'
"Abbott infamously signed a bill into law last year that bans abortion at six weeks ...and incentivizes citizens to spy on and sue each other to enforce it," Caitlin Cruz."But there's nothing pro-life about suggesting that we should let babies in America starve if they don't have the right legal documents."
"Abbott knows he must keep up the heat as the state party turns more toward Trumpism and authoritarianism," she added."Migrants and immigrants of all ages are the perfect boogeymen. First, they take their jobs; now they want to take food out of babies' mouths, while also forcing women to carry their pregnancies to term. The hypocrisy is so thick I am choking on it."
Noting that other right-wing figures—including GOP Reps. Kat Cammack , Marjorie Taylor Greene , and Troy Nehls —have made similar comments in recent days,The right has demonized undocumented immigrants for years, and the U.S. has a disturbing record of neglecting or mistreating children in its care. In one of the most infamous examples, former President Donald Trump intentionally split children from their parents in an attempt to dissuade immigrants from coming to the United States.
The right's claims about baby formula for undocumented kids fit into the narrative that Democrats are encouraging unauthorized immigration by not being harsher to undocumented people. Stephen Miller, a former senior adviser to Trump who championed many of that administration's harshest immigration policies, said the Biden administration was"diverting scarce formula to subsidize mass illegal immigration.
While Republicans try to blame the Biden administration for the current formula crisis that stems from a February recall, progressives like David Dayen atthat"the shortage is a manifestation of the same problems we've seen with the supply chain, made worse by monopoly."
