The Wall
sorry Acca--not Pink Floyd
Instead of requiring that the United States pay for the border wall out of taxpayer funds, and instead of dogging Mexico to pay for a border wall they feel is unnecessary, perhaps the United States could use some of the billions confiscated from convicted drug lord "El Chapo" to build the wall.Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was found guilty Tuesday on all ten federal criminal counts against him, CNN reports, stemming from his time at the helm of the notorious Mexican drug cartel, Sinaloa. Each federal count carries a minimum of ten years in prison, and the top count — engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise — carries with it a mandatory sentence of life in prison.During their pursuit of "El Chapo," federal agents confiscated billions of dollars in cold hard cash, along with billions of dollars in more "solid" assets, including "gold-plated AK-47s and monogrammed, diamond-encrusted pistols." By the time El Chapo was captured in 2016, federal agents had amassed a cache of more than $14 billion in seized assets.Prosecutors are seeking a forfeiture judgment against El Chapo which would allow the federal government to keep the money.Now Ted Cruz says he believes the money can be put to good use by building a border wall, ostensibly making it much harder for drug kingpins like El Chapo to traffic marijuana, heroin, and cocaine across the United States southern border. To that end, on Tuesday he introduced the Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order, or EL CHAPO Act.
"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.

Yeah, Ted Cruz has been peddling that proposal for a while now.
Another alternative idea: Trump to pardon El Chapo in exchange for $5B check to pay for the wall. Now, wouldn't that put the Dems panties in a bunch - take a play out of commie sanctuary lover Cal Gov Jerry Brown's playbook to pardon a convicted felon illegal alien, yet get money to pay for the wall in return.

Check this out.
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Mexico deploys 15,000 troops to US border
President Trump had threatened to hit Mexico with tariffs if the country did not take steps to secure the border. Under the agreement between Mexico and the U.S., Mexico has 45 days to demonstrate increased border enforcement.
Mexico’s defense minister said Monday that the nation has deployed nearly 15,000 troops to its northern border to increase border enforcement, part of a deal to avert U.S. tariffs on Mexican goods, according to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

It would probably pay bigger dividends if the 15,000 troops were deployed to Mexico's southern border... just sayin'
