HERE IS A THOUGHT OR TWO

I have been thinking about the wall on the southern border of the USA.  

I wonder if anyone has thought of electrifying the wall?  That is kind of ouchy.  Pretty sure that appeals to the sadistic base.  If the Marquis had only know about electricity. 

Then there was my idea the other day about using all the debris from replacing the decaying infrastructure to build the wall.  Make it wide enough for two lane highway and charge tourists to make  the trip.  Put in rest stops and gas stations, name it I-4.  Presto change!

We also have a problem with spent nuclear fuel rods.  I did do a little looking online, it seems possible to get the licensure and approval (eventually) to construct dry storage along the wall.  I am sure the big international warning letters will scare off anyone wanting to climb over or dig under the wall. I also think that the Geiger counter click should be broadcast from the wall.  

Pretty sure Trussia's base will find this delightful.

And failing that how about contracting with Elon Musk to shoot some container cargo into low earth orbit and then on a long leisurely flight into the sun. The cargo would, of course, consist of used nuclear fuel. 

This method would help keep terrorists from digging up the wall for material to make dirty bombs.  

Pretty sure that what ever amount of money it took to accomplish any of these projects would all cost about the same.  Just guessing.

Main benefit would be permanent disposal of the nuclear fuel.    

Win win.
