Use El Chapo's ill-gotten gains to build a border wall? It's not clear how much money the convicted drug-smuggler has, and getting at it wouldn't be easy.

Let Mexiclo where the daily wage is $5 use the money.

Give the money to the victims and affected

This is fake news, go after his entire network. He was supported by the Deep state.

Whatever it is just use that money to do something positive for America.

I am not a 'build the wall' fan, however, I would have no objection whatsoever to take every penny you can find (and assets in any form) from this scum and apply it to the costs of border security. Send a strong message to his buddies.

Emergency use.. it can be done. Shut up AP

Shut up

Didn’t it come out that most of his drugs came to the U.S on cargo ships and in trucks at legal border checkpoints? How the fuck does a wall stop that? It doesn’t. That’s how. Spend the money on something sane

Might be easier getting Maduros in Venezuela’s drug Billions

That's a good idea since it's him who exports drugs to America.

Why was a Mexican national tried in the US? He should have been tried or just 'taken out' in Mexico.

If you think you know how much money El Chapp has, triple that figure. He probably has money buried all over Mexico and other places.

If you can’t get El Chapo’s money let the C.I.A. come up with the money. They’ve moved more weight than El Chapo could ever of dreamed of ! 36zero

People are really looking into this? How about a tax on tooth fairy payments?

PrincessBravato If that money is to go anywhere it should go to resources to aid in addiction?! Just saying, it wasdrug money right?

PrincessBravato Just walk into any Chase, Bank of America or Wells Fargo. Thats where the money is sitting... Duhhhhh!

So we should give up? No wonder people don't follow you more

Easy, forfeited from criminal gains

I could think of so many good uses for this money but a wall,... no f'en way.

Fair enough, but we want to know who get it.

That money should go toward rehabilitation programs for the addicted if there is any money to be found.

I thought it was tunnels El Chapo builds, not walls.

A wall is vulnerable and static. Illegal immigration is highly incentivized and dynamic. It’s like playing whack-a-mole with a partition. It’s purely fetish;a waste of money no matter where the funding comes from.

That money should go to programs that help fight addiction and rebuild communities that have been devastated by drugs. He should pay for the wall with the money he laundered through his inauguration. Also, he should not build that ridiculous wall.

How much money does he have and where is it?

Estimates are $14 billion.

Nice way to generate federal money. Let druglords enrich themselves freely until they collect billions in cash, then setthe alphabet guys to get them at will. Keep the money and sentence the guy. Wise 🤔

That’s one way to get Mexico pay for the wall 👍

Yep, Mexico has the confiscated funds......we have the dirt bag known as El Chapo.

Liberals will oppose any barrier

I guarantee he has more money than the wanna be billionaire Mr. Orange Faced Trump

Obama would have sent it to Iran....

The government already stole that money for something else

This is happening!

You mean our government can’t find a way to swindle this dude’s money Bullish!

this picture must be illegalised. too much!

$14 billions. It's common knowledge.

Unless they make a plea deal. There’s always that possibility. The POTUS should make this deal, free ElChapo, tell him take his drugs & go infest China or Russia, and he must live across the Atlantic as he wishes, in return buck up for Wall 💵💸💴

Why Waste Money on something that is even more stupid than believing there is no climate change. If you are going to appropriate Billions to something use it to educate our children so that stupidity is not in charge of our Future!

Can we get past the argument of where the border wall money would come from and concentrate more on the ethical and moral issue of why building the wall is just wrong.

The better idea would be to use the money to subsidize healthcare for all. It could go a long way to help people w/o healthcare.

Who ever came up with that idea is lame

Oh yeah. He is not convicted yet. Only found guilty. The jury doesn't convict him, the judge does at sentencing. Which is in june. But you also know that

That money is going to build the FBI a new HQ.

Of course not, that makes too much sense

They seized 14 billion. More than plenty. But you already know that! Problem is, as long as appeals are possible, they cannot get the money. As you also know.

A THIEF TRYING TO GET A DRUG DEALER MONEY ? I DON’T THINK SO!!!

Well stop side to Mexico

Isn’t this the plot to A Clear and Present Danger?

He can build this wall just by himself..!!! Should to Trump just claimed this from him 🙃

Literal blood money

Mr. President use his $ for the wall👌🏻😉‼️🇺🇸

Not going to happen. The Mexican government will keep it, like they should. So...

That money was made off The sweat and tears of a dirt-poor community. that money should go to fund local infrastructure in whatever community could use it the most

They have better luck finding trump tax returns 🤣🤣😂😂😂

Don's just mad because he'd have to sell everything he owns to come up with the 3 billion he says he's worth. Chapo just has it lying around. He's got a lot more that 14 billion.
