The House Concurrent Resolution calls on the United States Congress to take necessary actions to stop the influx of fentanyl from Mexico and China into the United States. It highlights the alarming rise in fentanyl smuggling, which has resulted in thousands of deaths and poses a significant threat to public health. The resolution emphasizes that fentanyl is often disguised as prescription and illegal drugs, and it has been found in various forms, including candy and food products. The resolution also points out the responsibility of the Mexican government to manage its borders and control the production and distribution of this dangerous substance.

In light of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's findings that fentanyl is a major contributor to overdose deaths in the U.S., the resolution urges both Mexico and China to take immediate action to eliminate the production and distribution of fentanyl. It concludes by memorializing Congress to prioritize this issue and take decisive steps to prevent the continued flow of fentanyl into the United States, thereby protecting the health and safety of American citizens. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant congressional leaders and the Louisiana congressional delegation.
