With Democrats and Republicans locked in a staring contest over border security, there’s a solution here that secures the border and won’t cost the taxpayers one dime: Let’s build a wall, and make El Chapo pay for it.

El Chapo will be sentenced in June; after a history of high-profile escapes, he is expected to be incarcerated for life in ADX Florence, a “Supermax” prison in Colorado which houses dangerous criminals ranging from al-Qaeda operatives to the Unabomber.

He deserves every day of a life sentence. In 2015, El Chapo boasted to Rolling Stone magazine that "I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world.” That year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 50,000 Americans died from opioid and other drug overdoses in the United States. By 2017, that number had jumped to more than 70,000.

El Chapo claimed in 2014 that he had killed 3,000 people

Congress has two clear mandates from the American people: secure the border and save money. So let’s build a wall, and make El Chapo pay for it.
 
It does sound nice, but how soon before others are found guilty and the government takes their money? Lots of potential for corruption.
 
They have already taken every dime of El chapo's money that they can get their hands on. There are many constituencies already presenting their own justifications for getting their share of that money. Perhaps the wall will receive a share.
