IMPERIAL BEACH, Calif. (Border Report) — Imperial Beach’s new mayor, Paloma Aguirre, is dealing with an old problem in her city: beach closures forced by raw sewage from Mexico.

A recent string of powerful storms in the region has forced lots of raw sewage, trash, tires and other debris across the southern border into California.

“Because of the nature of our watershed, there’s an incredible amount of flow coming from across the border with trash, tires and sewage polluting not just our recreational valley but also the beaches,” Aguirre said.

Imperial Beach, the first coastal city north of the U.S.-Mexico border, is covered in signs warning people to keep out of the water.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

"Just let it rain 40 days and 40 nights and wait for the sewers to back up..."

This is beach poo, subject to nearshore currents...which depend on wave direction more than anything else.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I seriously doubt this is a new phenomenon. 

Which should be a strong analogous lesson to Pedophile Joe and his band of envirowhackos.......

Same concept applies  to the managment of fossil fuels..  When you do benchmarking of our country vs Middle Eastern, Asian, and South American competitiors, our ways and means of processing hydrocarbons are many many mutitudes environmentally more friendly in overall air emissions, toxic emissions, waste generation, and the ability to manage waste water control.
