ms. chu: mr. speaker, according to the centers for disease control and prevention, more than 42,000 americans died from opioid related drug overdoses in 2016. that's five times more than the overdose rate in 1999. and as we heard from countless numbers -- members in this chamber there is no congressional district that hasn't been impacted by the opioid crisis. no town or city is immune from the devastating impact of addiction. my hope that the steps we take today are the first of many to address the needs of our communities. the substance abuse and mental health services administration, our samhsa, estimated that in 2016, 11.8 million americans over the age of 12 had misused opioids in the past year. and 3.8 million were currently misusing prescription pain relievers. but while we have seen news reports of the devastating toll this crisis is taking on our nation's young people, it's important to note that our seniors are also suffering. from 2005 to 2014, individuals 65 years and older experienced

ms. chu: and now i yield to the gentlelady from oregon, ms. bonamici. ms. bonamici: thank you for yielding. i spent the day before father's day at the federal prison in oregon meeting with 123 asylum-seeking immigrant men who are incarcerated in prison. they were fleeing horrific violence and religious persecution. they were christian and sikh men from india. here was an lgq man from honduras and another was targeted by gangs and we spoke with men who are separated from their wives and children and who on father's day had no idea where this were or how they were. criminalizing asylum-seekers and separating families is cruel and it's appalling and now we find out there are tender age shelters. babies don't need their own jail. they need their own parents. this must stop. the president and the department of justice could stop it right now. the american academy of pediatrics said separating families in this way causes irreparable harm. mistreating children for political leverage is outside of moral bounds, even for this administration. as a mother, it breaks m

nadler: i yield one minute to the gentlelady from california, ms. chu. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. ms. chu: i rise in strong opposition to this cruel and -- cruel anti-immigrant bill this bill is so bad they want to destroy legal immigration to this country. for decades, our immigration laws were discriminatory, favoring nor dick and western europeans, restricting italians and jews, and banning the chinese completely. finally in 1965, during the civil rights era, senator ted kennedy ushered in a fairer immigration system based on family reunification. because this system brings families together, immigrant households are less likely to rely on public benefits and imgrants are often buying homes and starting businesses at a faster rate. now with this bill republicans are trying to undo that process and make america white again. worse, they are tearing families apart to do this while trump and republicans are ripping parents from children at the border, they're trying to do the same through our immigration laws. h
