Not only that, he has introduced a "make El Chapo pay for the wall" bill, which is backed up by very clear, Constitutional justifications, and he is one of the few Senators who doesn't shy away from discussing the problems of illegal immigration loudly and frequently.
I saw in the news today that Ben Sasse is promoting the El Chapo wall also. If those two see it as a possible solution I believe them. Both are Constitutionalist Republicans. They would know the legality.
Senator Sasse Co-Sponsoring Bill That Would Use “El Chapo†Drug Money To Secure Border, Build Wall
March 1, 2019 | by William Padmore
Senator Ben Sasse is co-sponsoring a new bill that would use money forfeited by drug lord El Chapo to fund enhanced security measures on the southern border.
“El Chapo is a cartel-drug lord who murdered and smuggled his way into becoming a billionaire,†says Sasse. “El Chapo is now a convicted criminal and he’s already had to forfeit his assets to the federal government. We should use those assets to secure our southern border and Make El-Chapo pay for the wall.â€
Joaquin “El Chapo†Guzman found guilty of all 10 charges against him in February after a three month trial.
