Mr. Speaker, Chinese Communists have been poisoning Americans. President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas have refused to secure our southern border and refuse to hold China accountable. In the State of Tennessee alone, overdose deaths have increased 200 percent--200 percent in 5 years. The situation at the southern border has gotten so bad, even the United Nations is saying that our border crossing is one of the deadliest in the world. Think about that for a moment. Therefore, I am introducing the Countering CCP Fentanyl Act. This bill would require the President to submit a list of all CCP government officials trafficking fentanyl and imposes property-blocking sanctions on all of them. We can't stop there. This legislation will make any CCP official caught pushing this poison inadmissible to the United States. Congress cannot stand idly by while Chinese Communists and cartel thugs line their pockets by drugging and killing American citizens. The CCP is using our porous border to continue their march to dominate the Nation. It is time to send China a message that their scheme to scourge the American population will not be tolerated. ____________________
