Border Security Solved with High Speed Rail

INTRODUCTION:
The book is designed to show how a secure border wall and high-speed rail security system can be built. A Border High-Speed Rail System that is self-supporting and can provide opportunities and jobs for tens of thousands of citizens on both sides of the U.S.A. / Mexican Border and throughout the Americas, jobs that can be expanded into the millions over the decades.

HSR REASONS:
One of the prime reasons for the development of a Border High-Speed Rail System is that it spurs on advancement between nations in the western hemisphere and beyond. It can produce product made in America that can be exported to all nations.

CAUTION:
We are close to losing the HSR market due to isolationism as it is, and due to the inability for our citizens to see the future beyond our borders. Other nations are younger than we in terms of technology, construction, transportation, communications, education, etc., and are fast catching up and surpassing us on all fronts. We need to develop advanced technology and procedures that spring us years ahead of them, and the idea presented is just one thought that can work, and that can improve the lives of millions.

HSR TYPES:
This book includes the various types of HSR that can be considered, built, and funded by governments, private corporations, public investors, and citizens on both sides of our southern border.

NATIVE AMERICANS:
There are several Native American reservations along the border and they can greatly benefit from having HSR provide access to their needs.

NATIVE MEXICANS:
There are several Native American reservations along the border and they can greatly benefit from having HSR provide access to their needs.

US MILITARY:
Our US Military will benefit in that it can move troops from coast to coast with their equipment in hours, not days.

FOOD PRODUCTION:
Using HSR from San Diego to Brownsville can reduce millions of tons of perishable food waste due to long delays in the moving of the products from the source to the retail establishments.

WATER:
Using the right of way, we can pump sea water to distillation plants along the entire HSR path, this water can be used for farming, manufacturing, and much more, thus energizing the now nearly wastelands of desert along the path.

POWER:
The project can bring safe, clean, environmentally green energy to millions of people while also powering the HSR system.

SECURITY:
The border will become harder to cross as one will have to cross HSR tracks that can be constructed to prevent people crossing, but still allow water, airflow, and wildlife crossing. Additionally, the addition of power, water, and transportation along the entire length of the border will vastly reduce the need for unwanted immigration, gun, and drug smuggling.
