You know they really used to do that. Even would let them feed from the animals teat. People also used wet nurses. This is a pretty interesting article on the subject.
If there is a shortage of something, that means some people are going to go without. We're talking about who should go without: citizens and legal immigrants, or illegal detainees.
The point is that if there is a shortage of baby formula, somebody is going to be last in line. I think that somebody should be non-citizens. If you disagree, you are saying whether you mean to or not that citizens should come last. It's a zero sum problem, after all.
I think my point is that we figure out a way to spread it out so there really isn't a last in line (besides hoarders and those trying to buy it for resale).
Who has said this? Who has said prioritize them over citizens. Again...I don't believe that is the point tim or others are making. I could easily be wrong...have not read every word they have typed on this.
This is what I mean by magical thinking. There's no way to make a shortage disappear by just spreading out the available supply. If there was, there wouldn't be a shortage.
@Toby2ElectricBugaloo made it pretty straightforward. You either feed these kids, or you let them and their parents go, or you starve them. Those are your only choices. If you are truly concerned about a shortage then you let them go. But I cant believe that anyone is in favor of detaining them and not feeding them. Is that really what you want?
Of course not. I want to make more baby formula.
WHY ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF STARVING CHILDREN HAVENT YOU EVER HEARD OF ANTIETAM YOU INHUMAN MONSTER
Oh...yeah, there still could easily be a shortage. as what we have seen (as we always do), there are people hoarding things. Or looking to profit from the situation.
Do you have proof that they can just say that? Since you have been claiming they can do so?
Sure...but lets not then start claiming that the Biden administration wants to let hungry american kids starve to feed illegals. Because that is not a very honest assessment of the situation that some have been pushing IMO.
It's not hoarders though. My understanding, which might be wrong because I still can't fully believe that this story is real, is that we shut down a domestic manufacturing plant and have made it illegal to import formula from abroad. That'll do it.
I’m just not sure why nationalities should make a difference in advocating for feeding or not feeding certain babies. Adults? Ok. Babies? You pass out food until it’s gone to the hungry babies in front of you, imo.
I agree! Its a wildly unfair, sociopathic accusation. Of course nobody wants kids to starve.
Well yeah, it was shut due to multiple infants getting sick (and I believe 2 died).
But scalpers are just responding to a shortage that exists independently of them. They didn't create the shortage. Nobody hoards Similac under normal conditions.
Yep. There was a whistleblower situation after a few babies died. From what I understand, there are some hurdles to bring baby food from abroad, because of FDA standards.
You figure it out if that happens. Would you stop feeding one of your children if you don’t have enough food for one of them? Or do you keep feeding them both, and try to figure out a way to make a keep working. That’s what you do, no? And if they had a friend staying with us, I would feed them, too. I wouldn’t let them starve, either.
Several of those seem to refer to those in the midst of removal hearings. Unsure if that also applies to those being detained while being processed in the first place (as in...not even in proceedings to remove them from the country).
I don’t believe that you or anyone else here want people to starve.
Yes.
And I’d like to add, I think you’re a good person, and I do not think you’d want kids to starve. Just to be clear.
Notice how the FDA keeps turning up as the source of the problem. The context changes. The agency doesn't.
How did you make it past the first post thinking there may not be a shortage? It's right there in the thread title.
