Californians call on Donald Trump to declare state of emergency
Story by Jasmine Laws • 23h

California state lawmakers have formally requested that President Donald Trump declare a national state of emergency to address ongoing sewage pollution from Mexico that has impacted the Tijuana River Valley and surrounding border communities for decades.

The call for federal intervention followed the unanimous approval of Assembly Joint Resolution 16 (AJR 16) on July 1 in the California State Assembly's Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee.
 
It comes after decades of "environmental harm and public health risks caused by transboundary pollution flowing from Mexico into California through the Tijuana and New rivers," California lawmakers said.

White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Newsweek: "President Trump is taking a whole of government approach to tackle the Tijuana River sewage crisis by employing the EPA, State Department, and USIBWC to quickly negotiate a comprehensive solution with Mexico."

"This project was once slated to take two years but will only take a few months to resolve thanks to the efficiency of this administration."

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

If Trump gets involved, it will just generate "mostly peaceful" protests around the world.  They need to get their governor (and presidential candidate), Gavin Newsom, to tell Mexico he isn't putting up with it. *look*

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Well, you gather all those people at the border, they're gonna poop (everything poops).

Considering San Francisco's street poop (where does that go when you turn the hose on it?), maybe they should clean up, too.

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.
