San Diego Congress members want the State Dept. to do more to stop record-breaking Tijuana pollution
San Diego Congress members are calling on the U.S. State Department to press Mexico to address unprecedented levels of sewage pollution spilling over from Tijuana, causing unbearable rotten-egg odors for residents in the region. In a letter Wednesday, officials asked the State Department to explain its steps to pressure the Mexican government or say why it has not done more to help stop thousands of tons of sediment and trash from crossing the border. Reps. Juan Vargas, Sara Jacobs, Scott Peters and Mike Levin and U.S. Sens. Laphonza Butler and Alex Padilla addressed the joint correspondence to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Brian A. Nichols and U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar.
