Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced a bill calling for the use of $14 billion seized from cartel drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to be used to pay for the President’s border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
“Fourteen billion dollars will go a long way toward building a wall that will keep Americans safe and hinder the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and individuals across our southern border,” Senator Cruz stated, according to a statement obtained by Breitbart Texas from the senator’s office. “Ensuring the safety and security of Texans is one of my top priorities.”

All Trump needs is a judge to approve it.

What a great idea. Its legally confiscated money and it sticks the drug cartels in the eye.

Now author another LAW limiting the “Inferior Courts” jurisdiction. You know the ones “ordained and established by CONgress”

That’s my bad @$$ Senator!!
To: Trump20162020
“Senator Cruz introduced the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order (EL CHAPO) Act on Tuesday.”
As much as I hate acronyms - that’s pretty funny. From the article it said he is only charged with the crimes so far. I would think that any assets should only be taken after he is tried and convicted. Maybe push for an ELCHAPO TRIAL NOW Act so it can be this month rather than the months or years I’m guessing that it will take.

About 1 million people cross the border everyday. Just add a $2 border tax and the extra amount should help finish the wall.
