A Fence With More Beauty, Fewer Barbs - New York Times

A Fence With More Beauty, Fewer Barbs - New York Times:

"James Corner of Field Operations, a New York urban planning and landscape architecture firm, suggested that any monumental fortifications have a second purpose, like a solar energy-collecting strip that would produce what he described as a 'productive, sustainable enterprise zone' that attracted industry from the north and created employment for the south — in the same no-man's median that people now cross in search of work. Mr. Corner called his partnership of 20th-century territorial power and 21st-century green, global interconnectedness 'a kind of Bush meets Gore hybrid.'"

If we are to have a fence on the Mexican border to thwart illegals coming across, this idea rings as sensible.
