House Republicans introduce bill to require fentanyl drug traffickers serve life in prison
Fox News
House Republicans are proposing life sentences for fentanyl traffickers as the U.S. sees rising deaths and drug seizures at the southern border.
"Smugglers aren’t deterred by the existing penalties for trafficking fentanyl into the United States," said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., who introduced the legislation with Reps. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., Michael Guest, R-Miss., and Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa.
"You better be ready to spend the rest of your life in prison if you willingly bring illegal fentanyl across any of our borders," Burchett added. "No longer can we shrug off this criminal activity that is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of Americans."
