And this was a decision for me as the administrator to make, and I could have went one in a couple of different directions. What decision did I make? It was the one to have the stricter standards put on these plants to improve water quality. So that's an example. I'm about to go to South California,

where there's a big issue across boundary with Mexico, in Tijuana, where they are dumping raw sewage. It's a complicated issue. For decades, raw sewage has been coming across the border into Southern California.

Yes. I mean, you have a lot of people who are living just across the border. They have to see it. They have to smell it. They live with it. They don't want to have to live with it. And they've been looking for action for a long time. And I think now is the time. What can you do about it? There's a few different things.

One is there's funding from the USMCA, $300 million as part of that agreement to build a treatment facility, which is right now going through the design phase. There is another pot of money that is doing infrastructure projects on both the US side and the Mexican side. While it is on the Mexican side, this is extraordinarily important for US impacts.

This is something that I've heard from the president and others. There's a lot of concern for and making sure that Mexico stops participating in this activity. So, and by the way, that's just starting to scratch the surface.

Well, this is not an issue that is tied up in a tariff negotiation. This is something that there actually are agreements right now. that we just need Mexico to follow through on their commitments. And that's not something that we are expecting them to go back on. As a matter of fact, what my hope is, is that we can get Mexico to do more. We need Mexico to do more.
