#2 Allowing the whole world to flow across the border into the US like a hoard of locusts will definitely help secure the water level and all the other resources of this once great country.

#6 For the past several decades, California politicians under the influence of their developer buddies have operated under the assumption that we need to accommodate everyone in the whole wide world who wants to move here. They claim we need more affordable housing but the more they build the higher the cost of housing gets. They only way they can ever make it truly affordable is to turn the whole state into a slum where nobody wants to live. Of course, the real reason for all the building is that developers get rich and bribe the politicians while the quality of life for those of us who already live here declines. Now it seeems they are bumping into hard limits to how many people we really can accommodate. Newsom likes to blame drought and global warming for any water shortages. He will institute water rationing, rolling blackouts and taxes on miles driven by people who need to get to work. But the fact is we have too many people using more water and power than he can provide.

#7 Funny, the US had a treaty with Mexico that we'd let so much water continue to the Gulf of Baja. Then they used it all up so that only the smallest trickle makes it. That is one messed up river.

Carlsbad (San Diego not New Mexico) has plans to build a desalinization plant. It'll provide fresh water for a portion of the cities population. Neighboring cities are hoping to horn in on that. they need to build their own. Cheap bastards.
