Senator Ted Cruz proposed that the benefits of "El Chapo" be used to build the wall

Ted Cruz, Republican Senator from Texas asked through a message on social networks to use the money seized in Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán to build the border wall with Mexico.

President Donald Trump asked the US Congress to give it a budget of five billion 700,000 dollars to lift the barrier on the southern border of the country, to combat illegal migration.

Cruz competed with Trump at the start of the campaign to fight for the US presidency, but as legislator presented to the Senate a bill authorizing the government to confiscate the badets of the drug dealer and other drug traffickers, to build the wall and give greater security to the border area.

This initiative was named as "Act to ensure the seizure of hidden badets to give order" or "Law ensuring the lawful collection of hidden badets to provide an order" which in English forms the acronym "El Chapo" and thus confiscate the $ 14 billion Mexican capo.

The US Department of Justice has estimated that the profits of the leader of the Sinaloa cartel amount to this amount, but in reality, the size of the corporal's present fortune is uncertain.

"$ 14 billion will do a lot to build a wall that will keep Americans safe and limit the illegal trafficking of drugs, guns and individuals across our southern border"said Senator Ted Cruz in their networks.

This initiative was presented in April 2017 by the Republican caucus, but the senator has now regained his interest in the issue. after the announcement of the verdict of the jury, he shared a questionnaire via social networks to collect signatures and consider it as a law.

Said proposal by Senator Cruz resurfaced after the prior agreement reached between Democrats and Republicans before a possible eventual closure of the government that would leave more than 800,000 bureaucrats without pay on a national level.

US citizens can support the proposal by leaving their data on the website available from this Tuesday and will be able to provide funds for to "become citizen citizen of Ted Cruz's EL CHAPO law and make his voice heard in the Senate", as you read in the title of the page.

Cruz is one of the Republican lawmakers who resides at the border and supports the construction of the wall.

International plot produce and distribute cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines and marijuana. Plot for import cocaine Plot for distribute cocaine. Distribution of international cocaine. Use of firearms.
