"If Obama can do this, I don't see why Trump can't use the $14 billion for El Chapo to fund the wall. ”

True that.

The US government does not know where ANY of El Chapo’s money is.

Nothing was seized. I have read we can’t find one damn cent.

Well, he DID say Mexico would pay for it.

Given the destruction that the cartels have inflicted on Mexico, I think that Mexico has paid a price even if the money is coming from El Chapo.

I’m sorry I don’t share your distaste for the USA nor your enthusiasm for making our homeland into one big California.

Build the wall with solar panels atop to collect the energy needed to electrify the whole goldarn thing.

It really is. But, from what I’m reading on this thread, the Feds have never been able to find even one dollar of El Chapo’s money.

If they do happen to find it, I’m still confused by something in this article. Cruz introduced this legislation in April 2017. What happened to it? Did ever make it out of committee and to the Senate floor for a vote? If it did, and it made it to the House, did it ever make it to the floor for a vote there?
