Raw sewage coming into the US from Tijuana, Mexico.

Luckily Trump is focused on problems like these : EPA hit hardest as Trump budget targets regulations

And he's choosing people to lead these agencies the mission of which they are fundamentally opposed to.

This is a situation where Mexico actually should pay for the fix.

Meanwhile the people in Flint, Michigan shout: "Hey! Remember us?"

I wonder if this thread is actually a double entendre.

Through the ocean?

Someone already thought of that.

This is the current border wall in place at the San Diego/Tijuana border.

They need a new treatment plant one that actually works. For some reason they seem to think the United States should pay for it. They need to pay for the treatment plant and the wall so as to keep what is theirs into their own country.

I agree. If they need a water treatment plant in their country, they should pay for it themselves. Just like if we need a wall in our country, we should pay for it our selves.

We would not need a wall if it was not for the sloppy Mexican government. Corruption is rampant in Mexico.

Corruption wouldn't be so rampant in Mexico if the cartels weren't so powerful and the cartels wouldn't be so powerful if they weren't making billions of dollars off the US illegal drug market.

That is some good money saved there now. I'm a retired government employee and I know how they waste money. Good thing they're trimming their budget a little at the EPA.
M-Bob

If you want to cut the EPA just remember, you get what you pay for.

Needs to be a bit longer to block sewage that flows into the mexican side of the ocean from US beaches.

Also needs to be a bit less holey.

Never been to the beaches down there by the border but if they are anything like the ones we have here in LA, I would probably avoid swimming there too.

Also needs to be a bit less holey.

Apparently, Trump wants holes in the wall so Border Patrol Agents can see through if cartels are throwing drugs over the fence.

Trump: Border Wall Needs Holes to See Cartel Hurling Drugs

On Wednesday night, President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he would want holes or “openings” dotting his border wall between the United States and Mexico because heavy bags of drugs thrown over the wall could kill innocent bystanders. “If you can't see through that [border] wall — so it could be a steel wall with openings, but you have to have openings because you have to see what's on the other side of the wall,” the president said, according to the White House travel pool. “I’ll give you an example: As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don't see them—they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over. As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall.​

He could make the wall out of glass. Then it's see-through AND sewage-resistant.

If the Mexicans need to pay for a treatment plant to keep Mexican sewage from entering the United States then why is it so hard to fathom the Mexicans paying for a wall to keep their illegal citizens from entering our country?

Well that is an easy fix, just make a list of the largest demographic that are the primary drug users and dealers, use profiling to track them down and arrest them, give them their day in court and incarcerate them.

That’s the drug war that has been failing for decades.
