Reply #2: You know this is in Mexico, right?

I'm just not seeing what the US government could do to stop dumping of hazardous materials in Mexico. Hell, I live in San Diego and the Tijuana river is the most polluted river in North America; we've been trying to get MExico to clean up its act for 40 years but nothing has improved. The city of Tijuana continues to dump tens of millions of gallons of untreated sewage into the Tijuana river which then flows north into the US. The result is ground water contamination and beach closures in the US but short of damming the river and keeping the water in Mexico I don't know what we can do.
