MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico’s president on Thursday welcomed a proposal to give the alleged fortune of drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the country’s indigenous people, and said the wealth of Mexican criminals in the United States should be returned to Mexico.

Jose Luis Gonzalez Meza, a lawyer for Guzman, said this week his client had proposed that billions of dollars in revenue that U.S. authorities had attributed to his business operations should be handed to indigenous communities in Mexico.

Speaking at his regular morning news conference, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who earlier this year announced the creation of a “Robin Hood” institute to return ill-gotten wealth to the Mexican people, gave his approval to the idea.

I heard about this yesterday and forgot to post it. Maybe someone did?  Of course, those for the "El Chapo" bill won't like it. At the least, it seems the money could be divided somehow. Argue with me, maybe Mexico deserves some. Split up the profits.

Bullshit.  It's got American blood all over it.

It's got Mexican blood all over it too.

It's got Mexican blood all over it too.

Really?  How's that?  From profiting off of it?

I'll bet the sponsors of the bill like Mo Brooks would be open to some equitable settlement.

Dat's fine, Mexico.
Come and take it...
