Yesterday we witnessed the bitch slap heard 'round the world. Ted Cruz declared that should we be short on funds for building the border wall, we'll simply procure them from Mexico's drug lord/butt dumpling in chief, El Crapo. This morning Cruz went on Fox News to explain the "El Chapo Act" in detail. Watch...

Yesterday I filed the El Chapo Act that provides that if El Chapo is convicted - the estimates are that his criminal fortune is roughly worth about 14 billion dollars. Now, coincidentally, the estimates for the cost to build a wall range from 14 to 20 billion dollars. My legislation provides that if those assets are forfeited, those assets from El Chapo will go directly to building a wall and securing the border.

El Chapo led the Sinaloa drug cartel, and these drug cartels are the ones that are crossing the border, they're smuggling narcotics, they're engaged in human trafficking, they're engaged in murder and extortion and are violent criminals. And there is a sense of justice to say that the people who are violating the border like crazy should use their ill-gotten gains to finally build the wall and to finally ensure that we have the assets to secure our borders.

Fret not about the remaining potential 6 million dollars. That figure could possibly be covered by another creative bill that was recently proposed. See FUND THE WALL: New Bill Would Impose Fee on Immigrants Sending Money to Mexico...

But seriously, kudos to Ted Cruz for his ingenuity here. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. Or in this case, El Chapo could be the mother of the wall. #Win

The best part? It's the thing that would stop his cronies from taking advantage of our border. And it's sure to trigger even more trifling whinage from the left. It all sounds so delicious.
