It’s time to pass my EL CHAPO Act. I urge my Senate colleagues to take swift action on this crucial legislation. #SecureTheBorder --> http://bit.ly/2BWG7Tz pic.twitter.com/5LgBuBSE26

America’s justice system prevailed today in convicting Joaquín Guzmán Loera, aka El Chapo, on all 10 counts. U.S. prosecutors are seeking $14 billion in drug profits & other assets from El Chapo which should go towards funding our wall to #SecureTheBorder.https://twitter.com/AP/status/1095378382714486785 …

or maybe fund a serious drug treatment agenda with that $14 billion. i'm tweeting proof of the success a 30-day program that i was fortunate to be able to afford can have. either that or just legalize it all and use the money for a universal disco. i can go either way, tbh.

Billions are already being spent on drug treatment for addicted people who walk out of treatment to heavily drug supplied streets..

That’s not how government appropriations work

Drug dollars are NOT taxpayer dollars. Congress has no claim on this money and therefore has no control over its distribution. Criminal proceeds are needed as reimbursement for the cost of fighting crime. Not for pet projects or pork.

Please explain why this is the best use of these funds. Note that “making Trump look good” is not a valid reason. Please include, since 90% of drugs seized are caught at checkpoints, how a wall would improve effectiveness at these checkpoints.

How about the majority of drugs that get through because there is no barrier to stop them?
