“More Americans Die From Fentanyl” Representative Correa (D) Discusses the Opioid Crisis
In this video, Representative Correa addresses a critical and heart-wrenching issue plaguing his district and, by extension, many parts of the United States-the opioid crisis, with a particular emphasis on the devastating impact of fentanyl. Correa begins his remarks by expressing gratitude towards the witnesses present at the hearing, underscoring the personal connection he feels to the issue as a father who has seen firsthand the effects of drug addiction in his community. He shares a poignant story about a young, promising athlete in his community whose life was derailed by hard drugs, illustrating the pervasive and destructive nature of this crisis.
As the narrative unfolds, Correa paints a vivid picture of the challenges faced by his constituents, who are grappling with the consequences of widespread drug addiction. He recounts the progression of drug epidemics through the years, from heroin to cocaine and crack, culminating in the current scourge of fentanyl, which he describes as the worst of them all. This contextual background serves as a foundation for his call to action, urging federal legislators across the political spectrum to set aside their differences and unite in the fight against this formidable enemy.
Highlighting the specific menace of fentanyl, Correa cites alarming statistics that underscore the gravity of the situation. He notes that according to local law enforcement and border patrol agents, a significant percentage of fentanyl entering the United States passes through major ports of entry, such as the San Ysidro Port of Entry, before spreading throughout the country, including his own district. This revelation brings to light the critical role of border security and the need for enhanced resources to combat drug trafficking effectively.
In a poignant appeal to his colleagues, Correa emphasizes the dire need for increased support for border patrol agents, who are overwhelmed and under-resourced in their efforts to stem the flow of fentanyl into the country. He shares firsthand accounts from officers on the front lines, who report working exhaustive shifts and facing insurmountable odds due to the sheer volume of drugs crossing the border. These testimonies serve as a powerful argument for the urgent allocation of additional resources and personnel to bolster border security and drug interdiction efforts.
Correa also engages with a professor during the hearing, seeking to clarify the legal and practical implications of certain actions, such as impeachment, on the government's ability to address the opioid crisis. Through this dialogue, he further reinforces his central thesis-that the focus of legislative efforts should be on practical solutions that directly impact the fight against drug addiction, rather than being distracted by political infighting or procedural debates.
In concluding his remarks, Correa issues a passionate plea to his fellow lawmakers, urging them to prioritize the allocation of resources to the border to prevent the influx of fentanyl and save American lives. His message is clear: every moment wasted in partisan bickering is a moment lost in the battle against a deadly epidemic that continues to claim lives across the nation.

But you can Bet Your ASS she's pulling down $150
They never answer a direct question.
Can we just stop promoting morally challenged people. If you can answer a simple yes / no question you don’t get the job.
Your Fired
lmao so i guess all they do is play stupid
those are American Policies not anyone specifics policies..
Let me inform you as to why all those illegals are needed in America right now. The threat of nuclear war or war alone human bodies are needed not only to fight but for blood.. It happened in every other time of WAR.
10 out of 10 have TDS
FJB
What is this supposed to be? Seems like a hit piece.
This woman sounds like she's clueless..
Senator Kennedy exposes another person who doesn't do their job. Thanks Senator
Welcome to BIDENS AMERICA...
She didn't mention that all those three states statistics our over a much longer prior of time.nice try though
Duck goose duck
O M G 😂😂😂😂😂
Major hub for the drug cartels, who pay off the politicians
She was releasing non violent mostly marijuana convicted prisoners im more curious of why the senator doesn't know this since it was passed through congress
Bullshit
crazy green !!!
What do Chicago, Missiopi, Louisana and Missouri have in common?
98% were charged again
She's either lying or incompetent or both
I'll bet Biden is getting his 10%
Ridiculous, she only shows her ignorance when she speaks
The CIA is helping the cartels or the tratior NGO. No its Alexander Mayokis fault the invasion continues . Child trafficking drug trafficking enough is enough Obiden.
Great job MTG bringing the truth to the light
Kennedy is one of the few decent politicians in this country.
She brought the numbers, facts, the grill, and grilled.
She not even embarrassed because nothing will ever happen to these Democrats.. If she was a republican… she would have been fired immediately and then criminally prosecuted.
How does this get these jobs. Is it George Soros..
She is a DISGRACE
It's disgraceful that they have the job and have no clue what is going on.
Constitution HUH...There taking our rites away...
THEY DON'T NEED MORE $$...THIS ADMINISTRATION BIDEN OBAMA. DISGRACE TO U S A...THEY ARE TRAITOR S !!...THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT AMERICANS OR AMERICA !!!..
Get em MTG!
And they did not say this when trying many times to impeach Trump. They called it "SAVING DEMOCRACY". All horse crap.
Lefty= Dense.
Greene Vs the Enemy Marxist!
You MUST REMOVE BIDEN BYE FORCE HE IS A TYRANT AND DICTATOR
I am sick and tired of all the idiots that do not answer the questions in Congress. They should be placed a fine of $5000.00 if they don’t answer the questions to the people, us!
Seems to me. If Biden would have just allowed things to stay as Trump had them. We wouldn't be having this problem. But Joe had to do everything in his power to destroy Trump's accomplishments. Looks like Joe made a big mistake. We need Trump back in the WH. At least he has a plan to help all Americans.
💯 AGREE
I like Marjorie Taylor Greene because she doesn't take any cr@p from these dems who keep trying to duck and dodge the questions.
Stein go figure
HELLO!! IT'S OBVIOUS AS THE NOSE ON YOUR FACE! The blame is 💯 % belongs to - Joe Biden, his administration & Mayorkas have designed this entire plan, financed with American Tax Payer Funds, plus, all the money passed through fake signed bills passed through the Senate, by Chuck Schumer, finding the NIGHT FLIGHTS, FLYING ILLEGALS DIRECTLY INTO OUR COUNTRY, BUSING THEM ALL OVER OR CITIES IN AMERICA!!
What a joke this woman is
The bigger joke are those criminal elected democrats.
@@cofee28, exactly!👍
Yes Biden Obama are all about illegals ,not for helping or taking care of the U S A...IMPEACH BIDEN OBAMA AND ALL COMMIES. IN THAT WHITE HOUSE !!!TREASON
Corey Booker and the Democrats care more about Jailed Inmates suicide, than border slavery, sex trafficking also causing suicide, murders, drug deaths and so much more, and Democrats worry about inmate suicide, yet, don't address Jail Rape, Jail Sex Traffickers within the same incarcerated individuals. CORRECTION OFFICERS ARE AFRAID TO WALK INTO A CELL WHERE THIS IS GOING ON, FEARING FOR THEIR SAFETY. The Senate, Putting a bandaid on it with Mental Health Care is backward and ridiculous.
No office staff... follow paper trail
Why keep letting women in charge it’s Fuckn useless
