Sen. Cassidy suggested that money seized from drug cartels should be used to fund the wall.

So the Mexicans ARE going to pay for the wall!

Wait until Sessions wakes up to this and declares every kid with a joint is a cartel and seizes his family’s property.

The other source, should be taxing/confiscating “remittances” by Mexicans in the US sending “money home!” Go into any Mexican Market here in California and you will see a line at the “remittances” windows. They even have dedicated phones that go to Mexican banks to facilitate wire transfers.

The idea has merit, but I prefer the 1% levy on fund transfers to other countries better. Not going to effect Americans to a significant degree....admittedly it would effect business buying foreign products but not catastrophically. It would be a small imposition upon banks and financial institutions but raise a whole lot of funds which could be designated/earmarked for border protection.

They could sunset the program in a year or three if they feel it is an imposition.

Include bank money laundering funds on behalf of the cartels

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have already proposed this idea.

The big money is riding on the prosecution of “el Chapo” Guzman. Billions in assets are up for grabs if (when) he is convicted/sentenced.

Wags have proposed naming a major section of the wall after Guzman, if his money does fund it. Since “el Chapo” translates as “Shorty”, perhaps the tallest and most imposing segment might be given that nickname. May as well have some fun with it.

I am OK with that idea, but I also like taxing the “remittances” or whatever they call the money the wetbacks send back to mexico.

If a tech-savvy freeper (I’m not one) is willing to create this, I’m willing to help pay for the costs of the idea.

To substantiate this offer, I’ve also just donated to FR.
