Lemme stop all you faux outragers on the baby formula


May 13, 2022, 8:09 AM

Right. Here.

The Biden administrations is required by a 1997 lawsuit settlement to provide these provisions to immigrant children. Guess who else had to do it? Trump. Obama. Bush. Clinton. In fact, while Trump opposed it, he followed it. So show your outrage there, too, MAGAophiles.

I've linked the WaPo article explaining it, but here are the key details for those who struggle with the reading a little bit:

"At issue is something called the Flores consent decree, which began as a class-action lawsuit regarding the treatment of migrant children. The Justice Department negotiated a settlement in 1997 during President Bill Clinton’s administration.

The Flores settlement requires the federal government to release rather than detain undocumented immigrant children, first to their parents if possible, to other adult relatives if not, and to licensed programs willing to accept custody if no relatives are available. A 2015 judicial ruling then said the Flores settlement covered all children in immigration officials’ custody, regardless of whether they were apprehended crossing the border alone or with family.

Here’s the relevant section of the settlement, which refers to the now-defunct Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

Note the reference to food: “Whenever the INS takes a minor into custody, it shall expeditiously process the minor and shall provide the minor with a notice of rights, including the right to a bond redetermination hearing if applicable. Following arrest, the INS shall hold minors in facilities that are safe and sanitary and that are consistent with the INS’s concern for the particular vulnerability of minors. Facilities will provide access to toilets and sinks, drinking water and food as appropriate, medical assistance if the minor is in need of emergency services, adequate temperature control and ventilation, adequate supervision to protect minors from others, and contact with family members who were arrested with the minor.”

A 2015 Customs and Border Protection (CBP) document laid out national standards for transport, escort, detention and search processes. These standards are derived from the Flores settlement and a 2008 law that codified elements of Flores, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.

Among those standards: “Food must be appropriate for at-risk detainees’ age and capabilities (such as formula and baby food).”

We mentioned that Trump was no fan of Flores. He tried to get rid of it but was blocked by the courts. So he followed the law, too. “We also observed all Border Patrol stations had food, snacks, juice, and infant formula available for children,” said a 2020 Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report on how the administration struggled to manage the 2019 migrant surge.

Re: Of far more concern - - additional context


May 13, 2022, 12:42 PM [ in reply to Re: Of far more concern to me is why is there a shortage? ]

Great article from the Atlantic; this provides important context for much of the baby formula problem.

But (as with any complicated problem re: baby formula shortage), there is still more context to consider.

Context takes time to understand, so this is another long post.

(1) Milk production in USA for 2022 vs. 2021 is forecasted to decline slightly (link below).
(2) Babies of US citizens ... slight decline (2020 vs. 2019) by ~ 150,000
(3) Babies of illegal immigrants ... est. per year of ~ 300,000 (Note: Precise numbers are difficult to generate)
(4) We are also sending a lot of baby formula to the Ukraine. (This is fine, but other bad gov't policies had contributed to the baby formula shortage BEFORE the UKR situation came into being.)

(*) Mild production is down; number of babies in the USA are up. Tinkering with the economy via 'politically correct' policies has consequences, and has played an important role in current the baby formula shortage.

Center for Immigration Studies (March 29, 2022) "Estimating the Illegal Immigrant Population Using the Current Population Survey"
Summary: Data shows number fell from 2019 to 2021 but rebounded by more than one million by early 2022

Center for Immigration Studies (Oct 9, 2018) "Births to Legal and Illegal Immigrants in the U.S."
Key excerpt: In 2014, one in five births (791,000) in the United States was to an immigrant mother (legal or illegal). Our best estimate is that legal immigrants accounted for 12.4 percent (494,000) of all births, and illegal immigrants accounted for 7.5 percent (297,000).

(*) Declining milk production (with milk being the primary source of whey and casein as the majority ingredients in baby formula) is forecasted. Poorer quality and lower yields of key feed grains is forecasted; a big component of the poorer quality / lower yields in 2022 is the current shortage of nitrogen fertilizers due to capacity constraints of the railroads to transport N fertilizers from mfg'ing plants to the key grain growing regions of KS, IA, NE, (I forget the few others).

(*) Greenies will hate this, but it's true: The USA's back-and-forth policies over the past decade have contributed to the current shortage of rail capacity. Railroads still carry far too much crude petroleum; if pipelines (including Keystone XL) had been built without the constant interruptions, then some (not all) of the crude carried by rail would now be transported by pipeline.

The broad economy is complicated. Gov't driven factors (increased illegal immigration for high birth rate people / premature 'green' initiatives which create transportation shortages) have contributed significantly to the current baby formula shortage.

Even when Abbott fixes their listeria or whatever their bacterial infection problem is, the USA will be facing other food shortages due in significant part to 'politically correct' policies instead of practical 'let America function without excessive gov't interference' policies.

Completely agree. I work in the poultry industry. It's getting crazy.

If not for shortages, for the inevitable inflation that is com coming.

May 13, 2022, 10:25 AM

I found an old costco chicken pack that was buried in the bottom of my freezer....$1.99/lb for breasts. I dated it July last year. I think the last time we loaded up was in Feb and it was $3.99 /lb. Need to load up one mo' ginn to make it to deer season.

With all that bird flu #### wiping out chicken houses, we fixing to be in a mess I think from the poultry side.

Macro level view, costs and/or shortages of fertilizers are going to affect yields. Farmers are planting later due to the cool/wet spring. The bean and corn futures are ripping (~75% higher than this point last year based on the tape).

The food chain is tighter than a banjo string right now...sorry for the doom pron...but hopefully she holds.

if one thinks there is a baby formula shortage because Biden is laser focused on the Green New Deal and as a result cow regulation, then one would be an idiot.

You know why sometimes I blame stuff on the Biden/The President and sometimes I don't? Because I actually think about the issue and the underlying cause. While that does take more time than just knee-jerk blaming the POTUS for everything, I think it makes for a much more informed perspective.

I think you would find I did the same when Trump was POTUS.

May 13, 2022, 9:08 AM [ in reply to Why weren't you mad about this during Trump? ]

Hmmmm, I don't think you understand why people are frustrated.

People are frustrated because illegal immigrants seem to have an endless supply of baby formula, while there is a shortage for US citizens. Was there a formula shortage under trump? People are not outraged by the simple fact that we feed illegal immigrants at the border.

I have been effected by this shortage. I'm supposed to go to a wedding next weekend. This will be the first time my wife and I have been away from the kids since we had kids. My wife doesn't have enough supply to pump all this extra milk for us to be able to go out of town and have my parents babysit. We can't find formula anywhere to supplement. We don't even know if our 7month old will take formula, but we were trying to test before we went out of town. Now it's looking unlikely that we will be able to go...

This is a frustrating, but minor inconvenience for us in the grand scheme of things. I certainly wouldn't want some innocent child at the border to starve so I could go to a wedding. I also have the right to be frustrated about the formula shortage.

The administration says that they have been working on this for months. Well they have failed in every way imaginable. And people are rightfully worried and pissed.

but you're also showing your hand immediately in that post. You took a report about a shipment (or several, I haven't read the "accounts" of what people have seen) of baby formula to a migrant detention center somewhere, and turned that into "illegal immigrants seem to have an endless supply of baby formula".

I'm going to guess that the people in these facilities also don't have enough formula, and that the supply that does exist in this country has been spread relatively evenly and fairly. It sucks, and supply chain issues are cropping up in almost every sector. Global production and transport has had to reset as it comes out of a pandemic, and we're seeing the ripple effects that some seemingly unrelated hiccup way upstream can cause in products and supply on the other side of the planet.

"Bruh", I did read the article. It was an article about a lawsuit against desantis that got dropped. You hate desantis and can't objectively speak about him. I figured you would be disappointed. You claim that you aren't, but everybody knows you wish the lawsuit didn't get dropped.

I don't know why you are coming up with bs simply because I responded that you must be disappointed. Strange.

Do you agree that if the government works on an issue "24/7 for months", and the issue isn't improved, that the government has failed to resolve the issue? This seems like common sense to me, but you can't understand. There are a ton of issues that they could be working on, but they are dedicating time and resources to help fix this issue, and they haven't. How is this a hard concept to grasp.

It's not my role to determine what the govt should and should not be working on. The fact of the matter is that they have, and have failed thus far.

And yes you did..... a couple that come to mind immediately are Trump ordering the teargassing of peaceful protesters for a photo op, and trump not visiting the graves of dead soldiers, because they failed at their job or whatever.

But I would hope that every ####### human being would be fine with finding some way to feed starving children who cannot help their parents' actions.

Surely you're not opposed to that just because the kid is a migrant?

I dont recall mom's driving two hours looking for formula during the Trump years but I could be wrong.

Why would moms be outraged at Trump if it wasn't happening during his four years?

And I agree, probably shouldn't be outraged at Biden but it comes with the territory.

And recall? Nope..


But the optics of cases of formula at the border while legal Americans are driving hours looking for a can of formula, yes.

But, since you're stubborn, I'll explain it a little more although you still won't get it: is it Biden's fault? No. But, HE is the one in charge so naturally people will put some of the blame squarely on him. It's just how it goes.

Something that doesn't seem to happen much on this board.

The Biden administration sucks and there are tons of things to criticize it over. But y'all want to get duped into the ridiculous faux outrage stuff.

What would YOU do if Dems were having this same outrage a few years ago over Trump sending formula to the border?

You'd point out the 1997 court case, wouldn't ya? Yeah, you would.

all the Republican media got outraged all of a sudden about the shortage. This came out after that outrage, separately. Formula has been hard to find for a while, then all of a sudden within 24 hours the Republicans got outraged about it.

Re: Was talking about the shortage itself. Two days ago


May 13, 2022, 10:55 PM [ in reply to Was talking about the shortage itself. Two days ago ]

There's still more context to consider; context takes time to understand, so this is a long post.

(1) Milk production in USA for 2022 vs. 2021 is forecasted to decline slightly.
(2) Babies of US citizens ... slight decline (2020 vs. 2019) by ~ 150,000
(3) Babies of illegal immigrants ... est. per year of ~ 300,000 (Note: Precise numbers are difficult to generate)
(4) We are also sending a lot of baby formula to the Ukraine. (This is fine, but other bad gov't policies (old and also very recent) have contributed to the baby formula shortage BEFORE the UKR war became a factor.)

(*) Mild production is down; number of babies in the USA are up. Tinkering with the economy via 'politically correct' policies has consequences, and has played an important role in current the baby formula shortage.

Center for Immigration Studies (March 29, 2022) "Estimating the Illegal Immigrant Population Using the Current Population Survey"
Summary: Data shows number fell from 2019 to 2021 but rebounded by more than one million by early 2022

Center for Immigration Studies (Oct 9, 2018) "Births to Legal and Illegal Immigrants in the U.S."
Key excerpt: In 2014, one in five births (791,000) in the United States was to an immigrant mother (legal or illegal). Our best estimate is that legal immigrants accounted for 12.4 percent (494,000) of all births, and illegal immigrants accounted for 7.5 percent (297,000).

(*) Declining milk production (with milk being the primary source of whey and casein as the majority ingredients in baby formula) is forecasted. Poorer quality and lower yields of key feed grains is forecasted; a big component of the poorer quality / lower yields in 2022 is the current shortage of nitrogen fertilizers due to capacity constraints of the railroads to transport N fertilizers from mfg'ing plants to the key grain growing regions of KS, IA, NE, and a few others.

(*) Greenies will hate this, but it's true: The USA's back-and-forth policies over the past decade have contributed to the current shortage of rail capacity. Railroads still carry far too much crude petroleum; if pipelines (including Keystone XL) had been built without the constant interruptions, then some (not all) of the crude carried by rail would now be transported by pipeline.

The broad economy is complicated. Gov't driven factors (increased illegal immigration for high birth rate people / premature 'green' initiatives which create transportation shortages) have contributed significantly to the current baby formula shortage.

Even when Abbott Labs fixes their bacterial infection problem, the USA will be facing other food shortages due in significant part to 'politically correct' policies instead of practical 'let America function without excessive gov't interference' policies.
