A massive sewage spill in Tijuana that polluted beaches in San Diego County this month may have been no accident, according to state and local officials.
In a preliminary estimate, officials said about 143 million gallons of raw sewage spewed into the Tijuana River during a period of more than two weeks that ended Thursday. While cross-border sewage spills of a few million gallons are routine for the region, this is one of the largest such events in the last two decades, according to water quality experts in San Diego.
People from Tijuana to as far north as Coronado have been complaining of foul odors for weeks, prompting lawmakers in San Diego County to contact federal regulators as well as agencies in Mexico.
The U.S. regulators said their Mexican counterparts have given little explanation. Mexican officials also haven’t responded to requests for comment for this story since Monday. .

why not, the rest of their filth is here.
Fine Mexico for violating our clean water act, then use the money for a down payment on the wall.
Dam the river and let them keep their waste.
Mexico is a foul place to begin with.
Mexico can kiss my Irish arse!
If you haven't been to Tijuana, you don't know the half of it.
