Besides the record number of illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. southern border in 2021, drug smuggling and drug overdoses are at an all-time high. In 2021, fentanyl overdoses were the leading cause of death for people aged 18 to 45 years.

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) said he is deeply concerned that so many of his constituents have been affected by this influx of illicit drugs.
