Sounds like a great idea! Maybe Mexico won't pay for it but their drug kingpin just might. Democrats will surly balk at this idea though.

"According to Breitbart, the United States has seized $14 billion from the former drug lord, which gave Sen. Ted Cruz a brilliant idea.

The Texas Republican introduced the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order (EL CHAPO) Act in April 2017, which calls for the use of the $14 billion seized from the cartel drug lord to be used to pay for the wall.

“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,” Cruz said in a statement."

“This is a way to fulfill the president’s desire to have Mexico pay for the wall,” Sensenbrenner, a member of the Judiciary Committee, told the Washington Examiner. “Having the money seized from Mexican drug cartels would mean that the bad Mexicans would end up paying for the wall, and the bad Mexicans have been terrorizing the good Mexicans with crime and kidnappings and murders within Mexico itself.”…

“The [Drug Enforcement Agency] has estimated that the gross receipts of the Mexican drug trade or somewhere between $19-$29 billion a year,” he said. “We don’t have to be 100 percent efficient to get the the money we need to completely pay for the wall relatively quickly.”

Good idea. I'm all for covert US operations against the kingpins in Mexico, and seizure of their assets when we snatch them.
 
I could swear there was already a thread like this.
Better yet Build the friggin wall! Then use the 14 Billion to pay democrats to leave public office. they would flee their jobs in droves, because "It's all about the Benjamins Baby":cul2:

Collectively, they'll probably make more that that this quarter.

You see, back in the days of Reagan's 2nd Congress, corrupt lawmakers voted themselves the key to the country. That still needs to be rectified. I say any of them that deny that, should be hanged.
 
Fighting drug smugglers with drug money....what could be better!

Could El Chapo’s seized drug money be used to build the border wall?

That’s one of the questions many are asking on Tuesday following news of the former drug kingpin being found guilty on all counts.

Mexico’s most notorious drug kingpin, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, will spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury found him guilty on all 10 counts following a three month trial.

It should come as no surprise that such an ignorant, moronic idea would come from an extreme rightwing fake news site.

Conservatives are as stupid as they are reprehensible.

It is better to do something that is useful to help to stop the drug war. It was okay for the Clinton's to made their money from off of seizing property from elderly that were delinquent on their mortgages. But Pres.Trump is doing something better with seized property.

I wish it could. The seized funds have to go into the general fund and be issued/distributed by congress with the stipulation of having to be used for interdiction. And dems wont allow it..

Common practice for cops to use seized drug property to fund drug enforcement so border patrol using this money for a border wall seems reasonable.

To bad. That money would build a great wall and not cost the American tax payer a dime.

Pelousy and UpChuck shouldn't have a problem with using that money. To bad they are such dumb asses.

I wonder if Trump could get that money and use it for the wall. He should have a way to use money in the General Fund. What better use than to keep illegals out of this country???

Mexico would not be paying for the wall a Mexican will. Since he evidently has more cash than Trump who could pay for the wall also along with donations from all the other billionaires.

El Chapo is Mexican therefore his 14 billion is Mexican money.

His money would more than pay for that wall.
