Texas GovAbbott lashes out at the Biden administration for providing formula to migrant babies, but it's 'just the latest in a long line in anti-immigrant actions Gov. Abbott has taken,' says a staff attorney for ACLUTx.
Huddleston described the baby formula statement as"just the latest in a long line in anti-immigrant actions Gov. Abbott has taken," adding:"Gov. Abbott's comments are appalling and outrageous. They are a continued escalation of his efforts to scapegoat the most vulnerable, including migrants, and in this case, literally babies.
In Thursday's statement, Abbott and Judd pitted American and undocumented children against one another."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 statement says.sparked national backlash after he said Texas might challenge the 1982 Supreme Court decision Plyler v.
"I think we will resurrect that case and challenge this issue again, because the expenses are extraordinary and the times are different than when Plyler v. Doe was issued many decades ago," Abbott said at the time.
