This article is about Donald Trumps wall and a unique view on how the project should be funded. Republican senator has an idea to make Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" pay for it. El Chapos real name is Joaquin Guzman and he is currently serving a life sentence here in the United States after he broke free from his other prison in Mexico. He definitely has the money to fund a project like this but that seems to be quite a stretch to try to get him to do. The United States is currently trying to get 14 billion in hidden assets from El Chapo that Senator Cruz says would be a nice down payment.
Cruz is try to get the "Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order Act" passed that would make the money that is currently being possessed from El Chapo go to funding a project such as the wall. The bill he is trying to pass is what makes this article relate to ap gov because we talked a lot of bills and how they are passed.
I fell that if we get that money we shouldn't use it on building the wall because in my opinion I think they're are way more important things we need to do than drop 14 billion dollars on a wall. We have way more Mexican immigrants that help our country by doing jobs that a lot of Americans don't want to do versus the ones in the United States committing crimes.
