Texas Republican then urged his colleagues to pass the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order Act – or El Chapo Act – which would divert drug proceeds from cartel bosses to fund border security.

Exactly, Mexico could pay for it this way, but no way in hell they let Trump get that win...

If they pulled this off Trump would win in a landslide in 2020

An old friend of mine whose fairly centrist with a slight nod toward liberalism (although that tends to change once facts come out) mentioned this the other day. I thought it was a great idea and am glad someone in Congress had the balls to at least propose it.

Isn't El Chapo from Mehico? That would satisfy the Trump quote "I'll make Mehico pay for the wall"

i wish President Trump could just take the damn money and do it. They call him a dictator, anyway. So, come on, Mr. President. Dictate!

Free El Chapo and put him in charge of a 500 yard DMZ between USA and Mexico (on the Mexican side).

There can be no better application for that money.

Of course DEMs will claim it is better used to provide free college for Lesbian Dance Theory students and to fund abortion houses.
