Desmond said at the meeting that the only solution is to set up and maintain treatment facilities in Mexico.
"On the Memorial Day weekend, the beach near the DEL Hotel was closed - because Mexico dumped up to 10 million gallons of sewage every day in our waters," Desmond added on Tuesday on X. "Our SEALs are getting sick. Empire Beach has been closed for three consecutive years. We paid 80% of our salary to treat Mexican sewage, and they ignored decades of protocols without taking any steps to address the infrastructure.
"I made a common sense suggestion to put pressure on - including limiting Mexico's border activities in a healthy emergency. Until Mexico is held accountable. Unfortunately, my colleagues voted to not want to put pressure on Mexico. San Digas deserves better. I didn't back down."

Mickelson seems to have put his antenna on this issue, too.
"It doesn't smell about this," he wrote.
EPA administrator Lee Zeldin said last month that the U.S. and Mexico are in a deal on sewage issues.
"This week, the EPA is transferred to Mexico's proposed '100% solution', which will permanently end the decades-old pristine sewage crisis that flows from Mexico to the United States. Next, the technical groups in both countries will meet with the details necessary to hopefully reach an emergency agreement," Zeldin wrote in May in May.
Zeldin visited Santiago in April, where he announced talks with his government colleagues in Mexico to end decades of issues. The problem is blamed on outdated wastewater infrastructure, which has been going on for decades, but has soared in Tijuana’s population in recent years and has continued in recent years.
