Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in support of H.R. 2281, the Border
Enforcement Security Task Force Reauthorization Act of 2017. Mr. Speaker, we are living in unprecedented times. A quick glance of
recent headlines shows that our Nation is suffering from the largest
heroin epidemic in the history of the United States. In fact, just last
week, Bloomberg Businessweek reported that heroin has become so
pervasive in our cities and so profitable for the cartels that supply
it that even our local law enforcement officers are disheartened and
admit that sporadic street-level arrests seem to have little to no
effect.
