To begin, we are confronted with a significant energy crisis; this could be directly addressed with nuclear energy. The application of the implementation of nuclear energy plants is now decades-old and benefits from having witnessed the potentials of failures and errors. (It is now a mature technology) The modern dilemma with nuclear energy revolves primarily around the DISPOSAL of the resulting NUCLEAR WASTE.
So what do we do with the waste?
The second massive crisis facing the sovereignty of the United States is an UNENDING MASSIVE INFLUX OF UNDOCUMENTED AND ILLEGAL INVADERS onto US soil and into US communities. The solution to this crisis sensibly begins with a physical, theoretical, or virtual fence of some kind (but clearly, the escalation and growth of the crisis must first be stopped). The debate over a fence primarily addresses two concerns: the cost and the effectiveness.
OK... Let's go all out with nuclear. With the resulting waste, let's make little "hot" bricks, which we stack either vertically or horizontally (or a little of both; it probably won't really matter) as a fence along the southern border. For cutesy purposes, we'll call it "the yellow brick road". (And spent fuel rods are ideally suited for bars of a fence anyway). It would be highly cost-effective as a solution for both issues. Our "open border" will now become known as an "open microwave oven", And a simple propaganda campaign explaining how this will cook one from the inside out should scare the Bejesus out of anyone who thinks life will get BETTER by sneaking into the US.
Seriously, we have to put a GREAT deal of waste somewhere! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste) Why NOT the most lawless turf of our nation?
Ahhh, I suppose we'd just end up with some sortof Tex-Mex mutant class...never mind.
