El Chapo to fund border wall?

[candycorn]

So, where is this $14 billion in cash exactly?

Probably in banks waiting to be seized just like we seized Iran's money. Doubt the cartels keep billions just lying around the house.

From 2017:

“As of today, US authorities have not found not even one dollar of El Chapo’s assets,” Raul Cervantes told the broadcaster Televisa on Wednesday. “His money hasn’t been found because he didn’t use the financial system.”

Authorities haven't found 'even a dollar' of El Chapo's $1bn drug fortune

Well, it would be ironically delicious.

Here would be a good place to start looking.

Oh they will find it. When they do it can be used to build the wall. Money has a way of showing up. Even when those who have it don't want it to.

Probably. Lyin’ Ted’s always begging for attention.

You mean his brilliant idea is merely a plea for attention? What do we call your idiotic ideas if not the same thing?

You should be a US Senator and have such a clever thought instead of being a discredited troll.

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.”

After El Chapo conviction, use seized $14 BILLION to build border wall? - The American Mirror

Hmm, but wouldn’t that fall under all that asset forfeiture stuff?

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.

Yup. That 14 billion would pay for a great wall.

Oh and all you lefty loons? Cornholio especially.

Mexico would be paying for the damned wall. LMAO at you lefty idiots.

Great idea and I hope it happens. 14 billion would build a great wall and it would cost the American tax payers a dime.

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.

Aren’t his assets all in Mexico? Wouldn’t Mexico be entitled to those assets first? I think this is really nothing more then a triple axle by a politition wanting in the news.

Likely they are in banks all over the world and we are quite adept at locating money such as this.

But can they get it. This isn’t some illegal alien trucking through Louisiana with $1,500 cash dollars in his pocket.

Worth a shot. El chapo caused lots of f damage in this country and we have a right to at least a portion of his money. His trial and incarceration alone will cost millions

Well, not like he won’t be around. They are sending to one of those places in Colorado where they put really bad folk so there will be time.

Makes for a lumpy sleep.

I dont know why anyone would be against this.

Ecause it’s impossible to stack mattresses.

This could be a good way to repay the American society for what this criminal did.
I mean his money can be some kind of "reparation" for all the drugs this drug lord sent to the USA

Yes. Compared to your troll based drivel Cruz's plan is positively Einstein-like.
