As President Trump makes his third visit to California on Friday to tour the border in Calexico, state lawmakers and Mexican leaders will meet to discuss what they see as a crisis in the border region: high levels of air and water pollution.

Assemblyman Eduardo Garcia , who represents a region grappling with exhaust fumes and other pollution from vehicles crossing international ports of entry, said he did not want the president’s visit to distract him “from the fact that we have some work to do.”

Pollution there has affected residents and businesses for decades, but neither the U.S. nor Mexico has fully funded projects to revamp sewage and infrastructure. Local officials sued the federal government in Marchof demands that it strengthen infrastructure along the border to prevent flows from Mexico into San Diego County wetlands and beaches.

Lawmakers also plan to discuss a number of projects, including installing trash capture devices, as well as renewing several memorandums of understanding first drafted under former Gov. Jerry Brown — some of which expired last year — to develop joint task forces to battle wildfires, improve data on air quality and reduce greenhouse emissions.

Lol CA is nuts

Photo op is all it really is. How about taking back the money Pruitt used thzt was supposed to go towards fire fighting.

Great way to put a spin on it libs.

A canal with bridges for entry points would be useful... more easily surveyed; transportation; irrigation; recreation.

Why not have a regional summit with all the Mexican countries to discuss the issues? Nothing says: 'Welcome to the land of the free' more than a wall of concertina and barb wire. And China beat him on trade.

I don't see THEM addressing the humanitarian & immigration crisis at the border. Dems love to complain, point fingers and blame everybody else and all they are doing right now is sitting on their hands and being 'present'. I look forward to seeing CBP deter illegal border crossers by pelting them with rolls of paper towels.
