Mexico 'exporting' sewage to US

 PJ Media:

... the decades-long problem of Mexico sending its raw sewage gushing into the Tijuana River and polluting the beaches of the U.S. has grown worse in the past few years with the huge population growth in Tijuana, Mexico. But now it’s affecting America’s national security interests, and s*** just got real. 

The Mexican sewage problem has been a five-alarm issue since before then-Imperial Beach Mayor Brian Bilbray hopped aboard a bulldozer and created a berm to stop the river from flowing into an environmentally delicate area. When the cops came to stop him and the protest surrounding it, he said he’d be back with a permit to finish the job, but it’s 40 years later and the problem remains. 

Rick writes over here that EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is up to his neck in excuses from the Mexican government, though $650 million has been designated to deal with this issue.

“There’s no way that we are going to stand before the people of California and ask them to have more patience and just bear with all of us as we go through the next 10 or 20 or 30 years of being stuck in 12 feet of raw sewage and not getting anywhere,” he said. “So we are all out of patience.”

Few people had the idea that the Mexican sewage pollution problem would grow so bad that American national security would be imperiled, but here we are.

An Inspector General’s Report entitled "Naval Special Warfare Command Should Relocate, Reschedule, or Cancel Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Candidate Water Training When Water Bacteria Levels Exceed State Safety Standards" instructed the SEAL Team commanders to move their water training away from Coronado during high contamination periods.

Mexico can be a poorly run country in many respects, and this is one of them.  Talk about a bad neighbor.  Perhaps the US response should be to contain the sewage and send it back to Mexico.
