Ted Cruz Is Right: Make El Chapo Pay For the Wall By Daniel John Sobieski 2 Comments Sat, Dec, 29th, 2018

It would be poetic justice, is deliciously named, and wouldn’t cost the taxpayers a dime. It doesn’t make Mexico pay for the wall, just one particular Mexican wjo has done great injury to the people of the United States and who is responsible for a major part of drugs flooding into the United States.

It is legislation introduced by Sen.Ted Cruz of Texas last year – the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order (E.L.C.H.A.P.O.) Act which would use fund confiscated from drug dealers like El Chapo and traffickers to pay for border security. As Cruz explained after introducing his bill in April of 2017:

OLD NEWS, BUT A QUESTION: I heard on the radio that Obama used all of the seized drug funds, giving the cash to Iran in the dark of night. There would be no such funds now for Trump to use to build the wall. Anyone confirm this?

If that SOB Obama did that, he should be charged with theft & prosecuted by the next AG.

Obama should not have been sworn in, he is not a natural born citizen.

BOTH parties cooperated to violate the Constitution.

The Dem’s oppose the wall. They do not oppose who pays for it.

Incredible how the New York jury is still deliberating the guilt/fate of El Chapo, now into their second week.

You’d think the evidence would be overwhelming.

There are enough billions in US banks that the Feds know is drug trade cash to pay for the wall several times over. Why stop with El Chapo, take all the cash they know is drug money.

Then again, how many corporate golden parachute and pension funds would be bankrupted if they took all the cash from the drug trade out of the system?

Has drug trafficking decreased now that El Chapo is out of business? How about human trafficking?

El Chapo was probably taken out to pave the way for a more lucrative criminal enterprise that added human trafficking and fentanyl to their services. Of course now the DEA and the other corrupt federal law enforcement agencies can claim credit. Now they have a bigger and better criminal organization to “work with” (pretend investigations and 20 year stings). More money for the federal bureaucracy and politicians protection racket schemes. Just thank the money laundering banks, bitcoin, and off shore havens.

Nancy learned the business in Baltimore from her mobster family. But now the business is legitimate now that the government runs it.

After all, why is the wall never built. Why did Kamala Harris sneer when Trump said he wanted to stop human trafficking?

Well, El Chapo, has been on trial by the feds in NYC for the last couple of months, the jury is in its 6th day of deliberations and still hasn’t come back with a verdict. This was considered a slam dunk for the feds, but whether the jury doesn’t trust the feds or their scared to convict; he might go free.

I served jury duty on an aggravated sexual assault case. We found the perp guilty and he got the maximum sentence allowed.

I gotta tell you we were concerned as we left that last day after sentencing.

And our perp did not have an entire mobster contingent looking out for him.

Great news!

The jury finally convicted him on 27 counts.

Hopefully, he will now spend the rest of his miserable life behind bars and then rot in Hell!
