The Liv Golf star, Phil Mickelson, reacted on social networks when a local legislator from California spoke that millions of wastewater gallons were thrown from Mexico to the water near San Diego.
The Supervisor of the 5th District of San Diego, Jim Desmond, spoke at a recent meeting about beaches around the historic hotel that is closed during the weekend of the Fallen Day. Navy Seals and other cities affected by the wastewater crisis in Mexico also mentioned.

Desmond said at the meeting that the only solution is for Mexico to build and maintain a treatment center.
“During the weekend of the Fallen Day, the beaches near the hotel closed, again, because Mexico is throwing up to 10 million gallons of wastewater in our waters every day,” Desmond added on X on Tuesday. “Our Navy Seals get sick. Imperial Beach has been closed for three years in a row. We are paying 80% to treat the wastewater in Mexico while ignoring decades of agreements and do nothing to fix their infrastructure.
“I introduced a common sense proposal to apply pressure, including the restriction of border activity during health emergencies, until Mexico assumes responsibility. Unfortunately, my colleagues voted, not wanting to press Mexico. The San Dieganos deserve better. I am not supporting.”

Mickelson seemed to have his antenna on the subject as well.
“Something about this does not smell well,” he wrote in response to Desmond’s publication.
The administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, said last month that the United States and Mexico were on the verge of an agreement regarding the problem of wastewater.
“This week, the EPA transmitted to Mexico a ‘100%’ proposed solution that would permanently end the unprocessed wastewater crisis of decades that flow to the United States from Mexico. Next, the technical groups of both nations will meet to work through the necessary details to reach an urgent agreement,” Zeldin wrote in X in X in May.
Zeldin visited San Diego in April, where he announced conversations with his government counterparts in Mexico to finish the issue of decades. The problem, blame for obsolete wastewater infrastructure, has persisted for decades, but has been spiral in recent years when the Tijuana population shot.

In February, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense published a report that discovered that the Naval Special War Center reported 1,168 cases of acute gastrointestinal diseases among seal candidates between January 2019 and May 2023 that were attributed to contaminated water.
