Congressman Fitzpatrick says fentanyl deaths, Ukraine driving legislative effort

Pennsylvania Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick says at a press conference to introduce the bipartisan Defending Borders, Defending Democracies Act as effort to legislate aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan paired with border security reform in the House after Senate action that a fentanyl overdose crisis claiming the equivalent of a 747 plane crash's worth of lives every week can be tied to the lack of border security, and Ukraine must be supported to prevent further Russian advances that could lead to its defeat, as ignoring problems early leads to costlier consequences later.
