We must ratchet up the pressure on Mexico over Tijuana River pollution

The article highlights the serious issue of pollution from the Tijuana River, which is contaminating the US coastline, particularly affecting local communities and ecosystems. The urgency is to push Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo to act faster on cleanup and pollution control measures. This matter is crucial because unchecked pollution not only harms the environment but also poses health risks to residents on both sides of the border, potentially straining diplomatic relations. Addressing this issue is vital for maintaining environmental integrity and public health across the border region.
