Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and 15 House Republicans led by Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) think they can end the standoff between President Donald Trump and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on funding the wall with Mexico.

It’s the “Ensuring Lawful Collection of Hidden Assets to Provide Order Act,” or “The El Chapo Act” for short. It refers to assets forfeited by the Mexican Sinaloa cartel kingpin, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and other drug lords prosecuted in recent years on multiple charges related to smuggling heroin and other illegal substances into the United States.

The bill introduced by the Republican legislators refers to El Chapo’s bank accounts and any other of his many assets U.S. authorities can locate and confiscate.

Estimates of the value of captured drug lord assets run as high as $14 billion, but they can be difficult to trace because cartel leaders like Guzman use every means possible to hide them.

“What the El Chapo Act does is real simple,” said Cruz on a YouTube video he made for the Daily Caller explaining the measure. “It takes the money, the billions that El Chapo made crossing the border illegally, and it takes that $14 billion and uses it to pay for the wall.

“We all know we have a 2,000 mile border with Mexico. My home state of Texas has 1,200 of those miles,” Cruz continued.  “We right now have an incredible flow of human traffickers, of narcotics traffickers, coming across our border and it endangers our national security.”

Brooks emphasized in a statement Wednesday that the proposal can “kill two birds with one stone” by funding the wall and ending the partial shutdown of the federal government that is now in its 35th day, the longest-ever such official closure.
