Famous kung-fu star Chuck Norris has just backed a clever plan to fund the U.S.-Mexico border wall that President Donald Trump has been asking for — and it wouldn’t cost taxpayers a single dime.
Originally proposed by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in 2017, the plan would instead use up to $14 billion seized from a violent Mexican drug cartel leader and earmark the entire thing for wall construction.
Build the wall.
Make a violent Mexican drug lord pay for it.
Let Democrats fund the government…. and it wouldn’t cost U.S. taxpayers a single red cent?
Seems like Chuck Norris has roundhouse kicked this idea out of the park.
The bill was named the “Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order (EL CHAPO) Act” and was reintroduced by Cruz on Thursday. The bill would earmark all of the assets potentially forfeited by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman after his trial, and set them aside to fund the border wall.
And we’re not talking a small time drug dealer.
The U.S. government believes Guzman has as much as $14 billion in assets they’ll attempt to seize if he’s convicted, which legal experts say is extremely likely.
“Fourteen billion dollars will go a long way toward building a wall that will keep Americans safe and hinder the illegal flow of drugs, weapons, and individuals across our southern border,” Cruz said in a statement when he first proposed the bill in 2017.
“Ensuring the safety and security of Texans is one of my top priorities. We must also be mindful of the impact on the federal budget. By leveraging any criminally forfeited assets of El Chapo and his ilk, we can offset the wall’s cost and make meaningful progress toward achieving President Trump’s stated border security objectives,” Cruz wrote.
Chuck Norris agrees.
“What would $14 billion of El Chapo’s dirty money get us? Even CNN had to confess that a concrete slab that stretched the full length of the border and was 25 feet high (five feet underground and 20 feet above it) and steel reinforced would be somewhere in the neighborhood of $12 billion dollars and could be completed during a single term of a president,” Norris wrote in a WND op-ed.
“So, Washington would have $2 billion leftover from El Chapo’s money for border personnel, drones and other electronic surveillance and securities,” Norris wrote.
How sweet would it be to see the dirty drug profits from Guzman’s fallen empire go into making drug trafficking and human smuggling even more difficult? And without costing the U.S. taxpayers a dime… while also letting Democrats finally fund the rest of the government?
“Passing that single bill could be the compromise they all are looking for, and it is the best win-win-win-win solution the Congress and president could ever enact!” Norris wrote.
What are your thoughts?
Do you want to see the Trump build the wall on the southern border?
Or should Trump give in to Pelosi and fund the government ASAP?
