Are the Mexicans using "sewage warfare" against U.S. Border Patrol agents? A top Border Patrol agent warns that something isn't right out there.
Christopher J. Harris, senior patrol agent at the Border Patrol and a top official with Local 16 of the National Border Patrol Council, told an American Freedom Alliance conference Sunday in Los Angeles that the situation in Imperial Beach, where Mexican raw sewage is being pumped onto San Diego beaches with impunity, is more than just ruined beaches and noxious smells, as the media have reported. It's a toxic hazard to those who serve in the capacity of border security.
"Agents come to me with chemical burns, with shoelaces and bootlaces that have dissolved. You don't get to that area on border," Harris said, without encountering the toxic sludge.
For Harris, who works with the Border Patrol's union, it's an unacceptable risk for agents whose jobs already are some of the most dangerous in the country. Referring to the rocks and gunfire border agents regularly encounter as they go up against human traffickers and smuggling cartels, he said: "We are willing to be assaulted, but we not willing to work in a chemical dump," he said. "It's chemicals in four or five areas, and you can smell it."
He said that thus far, there has been very little official interest in resolving the situation as the Mexicans continue to release the toxic sewage into San Diego.
"It's chemicals. We need help with that and ask the EPA to come forward and do something for that," Harris said, but nothing so far has been forthcoming.

Catapult the $h!t back across the border.
The US should dam it up and force the river to rise all the way back to the source, if possible. Couldn’t ask for a better natural border “wall”.

According to the EPA, “Chit” eating bacteria were more important than clean rivers.
That was just one of the absurdities of the EPA under Clinton. There also was an instance when a new hospital was proposed in LA. There was a suit claiming that the land proposed for the hospital was a potential habitat for some sand fly. None had been seen on the property but it looked like other property that had sand flies. The hospital had to buy additional land that would be designated as sand fly habitat.
Here’s the funny part. Since there was no sand flies on this property, the EPA wanted to designate a “sand fly flyway” connecting the property were sand flies were present and the new sand fly habitat. The flyway was to be 100 feet wide and extend from ground level to 200 feet altitude and a couple of miles long. The proposed route for the flyway made three right angle turns and crossed the 405. How the sand flies were to be notified of the directional changes was not specified. However, the EPA proposed lowering the speed limit on the 405 where the fly way crossed to 5 MPH.
The fly way was so ludicrous that it was removed from the settlement.
So the sh!t is being pumped to Us for treatment ?
OK but I’m not going to be the pipe stuffer!
Yep. Right under Harbor Drive. Big pump station at the airport.
