               THE DANGERS OF FENTANYL IN HALLOWEEN CANDY

  (Mrs. MILLER of Illinois asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, as Halloween approaches, it is 
vital that we inform parents of the dangers of fentanyl, which is now 
the number one killer of young people in America.
  Fentanyl is an extremely lethal opioid that drug cartels are 
trafficking across our southern border. We must warn parents that 
cartels are trafficking and selling rainbow fentanyl, which are 
colorful pills designed to appeal to children. These pills are deadly, 
and parents should carefully check their child's Halloween candy.
  It is tragic that President Biden and his border czar, Vice President 
Harris, have allowed the border crisis to become so dangerous and pose 
such a serious threat to our children.
  Right now, the immediate danger is fentanyl, and parents must be 
vigilant.
