Southern California’s border-adjacent communities are pushing for emergency assistance from regional and state agencies as they contend with a cross-border sewage crisis that is poisoning the air they breathe.
The writers, led by Imperial Beach Mayor Paloma Aguirre, pushed for immediate action to cope with dangerous air pollution impacting area communities, in a Sunday letter sent to officials from the San Diego County Air Pollution Control District and the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.
Imperial Beach and its neighbors have for years struggled with an unrelenting, transboundary sewage situation that results from insufficient wastewater treatment on the Mexican side of the border. That fetid flow ends up in San Diego County both via ocean plumes and the Tijuana River Watershed, contaminated with a noxious mix of chemicals and pathogens.
Not only have these contaminants caused widespread water contamination and long-term beach closures, but they have also become an airborne public health threat.
Oh weird you mean USA is miles ahead on climate and environmental protection? Yet we’re the ones who need to buy EVs and get rid of our gas cook stoves.
Go jump up a rope dingbats
The democrats are bringing them so they can dump in the US and bypass the border
If we have another war with Mexico we should create a 200 mile deep buffer zone south of the border depopulated of people patrolled by drones that shoot dead anything on 2 legs.
Isn’t complaining about Mexican sewage somehow racist?

The symbolism isn’t lost on me
Same ole, same ole in Imperial Beach. I used to live there.
California has to lead the nation in Poopy stories. If it’s not poop on the streets of San Fran, it’s poopy stuff in ocean , to poopy poison in the air.
Is it the Mexican Food they eat out there so much?
Would it be fair to say that they choose to continue the nasty sewage-sending out of spite, simply because the do not like us?
Well before sunrise, the horse drawn wagons carrying milk would separate into two trains, one traveling up the east side of the bay to San Diego, and the other traveling up the west side of the bay to Coronado.
The trains originated from rancheros that lay along the border between the United States of America and Mexico.
Up until around World War II, “Mexican Indians” and bandits would attempt to steal cattle, and men employed to work the rancheros had to be prepared to defend the properties and themselves. They carried Winchester repeating rifles, and the firearm was issued on the first evening on the job - the new man standing watch, typically at a key position that had advantages of view over a ranch and related avenues.
The owner of the rancheros became wealthy as the supplier of milk (and more) to the new Hotel del Coronado and to San Diego.

I used to live down the street from the Del.
One of the many great things of being a Sanctuary State...
Where’s the California Coastal Commission?
Oh wait they are doing important stuff
A surf contest tried to bar transgender athlete. The California Coastal Commission intervened
The California Coastal Commision ruled that ‘prohibiting or unfairly limiting transgender athletes… does not meet the requirements of the public access policies of the Coastal Act.’
