SacBee: LOS ANGELES
Officials in Southern California are crying foul after more than 140 million gallons of raw sewage spilled into the Tijuana River in Mexico and flowed north of the border for more than two weeks, according to a report.
The spill was caused Feb. 2 during rehabilitation of a sewage collector pipe and wasn’t contained until Thursday, the International Boundary and Water Commission said in its report released Friday. The river drains into the Pacific Ocean on the U.S. side.
Serge Dedina, the mayor of Imperial Beach, California, said residents of his city and other coastal communities just north of the border have complained about a growing stench.
Dedina criticized federal officials in the U.S. and Mexico for not alerting people to the spill.
“Border authorities charged with managing sewage infrastructure and reporting these spills must do better and be held accountable for this act,” Dedina said in a statement Saturday. He called for the resignation of Edward Drusina, chief of the international water commission, over his lack of attention to cross-border sewage flows.
HERE’S WHAT WE THEENK ABOUT YOUR STEENKING WALL, GRINGOS!!
The river flows north? Must be a California thing. There is no end to the blessings we get from Mexico!
Nothing like the smell of refried beans that’s already been passed!
All their shit flows north. But hopefully Trump will send them back.
Through Obama, the US has allowed mostly Mexican uneducated, unskilled, gang related Turds to enter the US through an open border. Mexico is just doing more of the same with their sewage.
Get used to the smell, sanctuary state.
Two weeks? Must be some more fake news@ We have had human sewage flowing from Mexico into the United States for the better part of fifty years!
It’s just Mexico giving us more of their shit from South of the border. Even the sewage refuses to stay in Mexico.
Now we need a wall and a dam.
I thought the mexicans pissed in the streets and shit in garbage cans.
Another reason to go with my idea of a navigable canal instead of a wall. Put ’em in tent cities, hand ’em shovels and make sure they’re on the other side when it’s finished.
Years ago, Canada did this twice up near Trail BC and it flowed into the Columbia River that passes through our area. We were miles down the line and didn’t really smell as much as saw these huge brown floatations of fecal matter.
Tijuana is as big a shithole as Olongapo City was in the Philippines.
Isn’t there an axiom about shit rolling down hill?
Cali’s been going down hill for years, that’s why I left.
Jose aka Poncho; Two weeks? Must be some more fake news@ We have had human sewage flowing from Mexico into the United States for the better part of fifty years!”
So true. The Salton Sea has been polluted by mexico for even longer than that.
Governor brown will give the sewege sanctuary and a voter id card.
shit flowed into Ca. how could they tell?
It’s in Commipornia, who gives a rat’s ass?
