Mexico is poisoning Southern California in a border crisis almost no one knows about
Fox News
The border crisis that doesn't make much national news involves 100 billion gallons of sewage flowing across from Mexico. It contains E. coli, arsenic and other toxic chemicals.
Jim Desmond is a San Diego County Supervisor representing the Fifth District.
This sewage isn’t just disgusting — it’s dangerous. It contains E. coli, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, arsenic and other toxic chemicals. Our water is contaminated. Our air is polluted with aerosolized waste. Residents are reporting everything from skin infections to viral pharyngitis — and even family pets have gotten sick after exposure. And some beaches have now been closed for over 1,000 consecutive days. That’s nearly three years of lost access to one of the greatest natural assets in America.
