The concern, and it's a fairly legitimate one, is that a nation like Iran, which has had strong ties to organizations that advocate violence against the US in the past, might be willing to supply radioactive materials or nuclear weapons to such organizations in the future.\n\nIndia already has nuclear technology, but refuses to allow international agencies to monitor it's programs, which is a bit curious.\n\n"Developing nations" sometimes cause concern because of the potential to sell radioactive material or even nuclear weapons to radicalists.  And there is also concern that such a nation would build nuclear weapons and possibly use them against a rival nation.  (Pakistan and India are a perfect example of this)\n\nThe bottom line is this: nuclear weapons = trouble.  If more countries have them, there is a greater potential, not only for a nuclear war, but also accidents, contamination, leaking of nuclear secrets and the secret sale of dangerous weapons and materials.\n\nThe potential for all of these is much higher in a country that does not yet have strict environmental and safety regulations and global economic interests that would be badly damaged by international sanctions.

The area is Nellis Air Force Range and nuclear test site, more commonly known as Area 51, (the name is derived from the way the country was divided according to old maps). It was founded in 1954 and its exact location is at the heart of area 51, Groom Lake. But you can't go there, you can't even take a photograph without the risk of being fined, sent to jail or even killed. \nIn fact, the military denied its very existence until they were forced to admit it in 1994.

Think of it:  The International Safepark of the NewFound middleast...yeah, camel rides, tanning, lots of bars called the "mirage"..., 63 mile long roller coasters...it could be great!  Call the Generals, a new task is afoot!\nhehe...just kiddin'

Yes, but it would have to be on the scale of the great wall of China.  Which would then serve as a tourist attraction as well as a block to illegal immigration.  The far left dismisses this so quickly and the cost would be high; but compare the cost to al queda crossing the southern border and I think its quite reasonable.

first off, it is not outside alb, nm. it is 70 miles north of las vegas. it does exist and the government wants us to believe that it is a "testing & research" facility, mainly involving national sec. wether that is a disguise for something more sinister, who knows.

Bravo Dave....When Mr. Reagon said those immortal words, the whole world respected our government, and what we stood for.  Now-not so much as a "security issue", but as a "political issue" our government wants to secure the Mexico/USA border.  Why has no money be allocated for a Canada/USA border?  Isn't Canada where they recently broke up a terrorists cell?

Almost the entire state of Nevada is a freakin military controlled zone.  Nuclear waste disposal from Yucca Mountain, weapons testing or training or some other crap.  LV is pretty much an extension of Southern CA, and should be annexed as such... Sorry if i don't have studies...but if you have access to lexis-nexis..you should use it....or Jstor, or Proquest  (available at your local junior college library)

Yes, one it is enriched and now radioactive because an atom has been split. I don't know the science. Two people still need to go in and get more uranium. There is a plan to bury it all in an abandoned mine, of limestone I believe to limit the leakage. The problem with burying it all in one place and setting up a perimmiter in this dead zone is that a) it will still spread/ leak. b) shipping stuff from all over the US to one place in the southwest is very risky. Now it is all required to stay on site at each nuclear plant in the special barrels. The plan for transport is very thourough but still not a pleasing idea. If a truck crashes/ terrorist/ whatever goes wrong you will severly contaminate a large area, 50 mile radius or more. \n\nWould you like to know the plan for shipment? Well here it is. First we've got super buckets to carry it in. Big red plastic looking capsules. We ran them over with a train. Didn't break. Was funny to see a huge red thing fly through the air though. Geographers used computer mapping to find routes that were the quickest but also went through the least populated areas. The final decision was based mainly on the least population and it doesn't travel through major cities. Many objected about going through suburban areas but in some cases there just wasn't enough farm land to pass through without having to make such a detour that it would take a long time and effect more population. The highways and streets it must pass through will be closed to traffic and the trucks will be escorted by military. If your local highway is closed for somereason chances are it's passing through your neighborhood.

I agree with you.  I think there should be a fence around the entire state of texas.  Call the governor of Oklahoma and let him know your concerns.  I'm sure he feels the same way.

On the contrary.  Haven't you heard, there are plans to build the Great Wall of Mexico.  And as far as the remaining borders, including the Canadian border, the plans are to increase the documentation requirements for traveling across the borders.

The ones you see hopping over fences are not usually in the desert areas, they are near San Diego, etc.  and you see the pathetic things they call 'fences' meant to stop them.  \n\nWe need real border security.  And they need to use their strength to fix their own country.

ALLLLRIGGGGHHHTTTYYYY Then.\n\nHaven't heard anything about that.  you got a web address for that info?\n\nI have heard about a moon base where the American Government is setting up a first strike base to ward off alien visitors. can't remember the actual web site but it was from the Canadian former prime minister and was published in Canadian news papers January 2006.

It has been tried before.  Growing up in the  south, specifically Charleston, SC....there are many signs still left of the effects of the Civil War.\n\nThe Mexican government WILL try this.  That has been the goal all along.  One state at the time.  Will we have a president in power who has the testosterone to be a man and bring this to a screeching halt?  Who knows...we do not have one now who gives a damn about our borders.\n\nBut, again, JD...\n\nWE THE PEOPLE\n\nwill ONLY take so much and when we are saturated with this insanity, it will be\n\n(may I quote a great patriot?)\n\nLOCK N LOAD!

No and it is doubtful that they would be. Mexican nationals, coyotes (people smugglers), and illegal immigrants themselves DO NOT WANT the border closed. As a result I would be very doubtful that nukes, terrorists, etc. would find crossing the border from Mexico appealing. Mexicans will not allow terrorism to cross that border because it would result in its closing.
