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 Presidents 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 senators office. Ensuring the safety and security of Texans is one of my top priorities.

Maybe push for an ELCHAPO TRIAL NOW Act so it can be this month rather than the months or years Im guessing that it will take.How many witnesses, prosecutors and jurors will die during the pre-trial period?

Ever heard of RICO? Check out the meaning of RICO and then find the increased penalties.
Ted is miles behind decades of the already done, and nailed down.
Check out his word-smithing name for his introduced warbling.
No “wall” is mentioned.

Seems pretty common around here these days. Though I’ve noticed a decline in the Lyin Ted posts of late.

I'm sure Ted got the idea from FR.
Maybe some of the money can be used to purchase Teddy Bears, too.
To: RitaOK; DoughtyOne
Croooze is needing those Trump voters for re-election.
Yes, he certainly does.
But....if he can turn this dirty money into wall $$, I say bully for Ted...if it comes to fruition.

FR courtesy suggests you give a ping to those you are posting about. You may have simply overlooked pinging “Rita”. Not sure.

Oh yah. My man Cruz. Trump is upstaging him right now, but the man is still young, and a Tea Partier. He’s a bit of an eccentric, but he was my first choice.

I don't necessarily have a problem with it either. There will be a process to go through. This is what I find funny. Senator Cruz introduced the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order (EL CHAPO) Act on Tuesday.
