SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — The two U.S. senators from California are asking the federal government to provide emergency funding to try and stop constant sewage flows that originate south of the border but end up on the U.S. side and out into the Pacific Ocean contaminating beaches and the coastline.

Earlier this week, Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla asked the Appropriations Committee to include money in a multi-billion dollar emergency bill being drafted to provide disaster relief for the Tijuana River Valley.

The White House is already asking for $40 billion in funding for Ukraine, Maui disaster assistance, and border and immigration issues.

What outrageous nonsense.

Simply close the entire Mexican border until Mexico fixes this problem.

And strip that bill down to Maui relief only. The rest is just lard and kickbacks.

Wow - Trump called them “criminals” and they had a fit, the Dems call them “sewage” and it’s OK?

They never said that at all. They are asking for money to deal with the sewage issue.

“Give Southern California back to Mexico and problem solved.”

No.

Texas and Arizona would be next.

It’s already full of sewage. What harm is a little more Mexican sewage going to do?

More likely, the Rat Party wants monies to process and house the mojados.

The Tijuana River flows from the southeast to northwest, with its mouth at Imperial Beach, California.

This permits Mexico to dump thier crap quite literally across the border.

Dig a canal down the border. East to west.

Nothing that a few tankers full of sarin flying over MAY-HEE-KO couldn't fix.

“The currents flow north-to-south.”
Yes, I thought the same thing. Not always true.
I have lived in coastal San Diego County and the Northern Baja peninsula.
I’ve seen the open sewers which pour into the ocean and I’ve watched the ocean currents shift.
This is why I don’t eat seafood there and won’t go to any beach south of Carlsbad.
