Voters should care about this bill because the pollution in the Tijuana River and New River has been a long-standing crisis, directly impacting the health and daily lives of thousands of Americans. Raw sewage, industrial waste, and trash flowing across the border have led to frequent beach closures, public health advisories, and harm to local wildlife and ecosystems. If this bill passes, it would provide a dedicated framework and funding mechanisms to address these severe transboundary pollution issues, potentially leading to cleaner beaches, healthier communities, and a safer environment. If it doesn't become law, these problems are likely to continue, causing ongoing health risks, economic damage, and environmental degradation in affected border communities.
