    Treating injured migrants who fall over border wall becomes new normal in small New Mexico town

    Border Patrol says smugglers encouraging migrants to climb border wall; Sunland Park fire cheif says many lose grip, break limbs on way down

    SUNLAND PARK, New Mexico (Border Report) – A woman from Mexico suffered serious head injuries falling over a 14-foot stretch of border wall this week in what officials describe as an illegal crossing attempt.U.S. Border Patrol agents and Sunland Park Fire Department personnel arrived to render aid and a helicopter transported the 39-year-old woman to El Paso’s University Medical Center – a level 1 trauma facility – for further treatment. The unidentified migrant remained in critical condition late Thursday.

    Wednesday morning’s incident was the latest in a string of recent emergency calls involving injured migrants that first responders in this southern New Mexico border town have answered. “The last six to eight months we’ve been seeing five to 10 border wall accidents per week. Some days it’s just one, some days it could be three or four,” said Sunland Park Fire Chief Daniel Medrano. “Most injuries we see are lower extremity: people holding on to the top of the wall and losing their grip and falling … breaking ankles, breaking legs, some back and shoulder injuries. Things typical of a fall from that height.”

    Medrano said most of his firefighters are also certified emergency medical technicians or paramedics. That training has come in handy now that treating injured migrants has become part of the routine. “This is a very new situation for us, what’s going on at the border wall,” Medrano said. “We really don’t know why so many migrants are coming to the Sunland Park-Anapra (Mexico) area to cross over. […] That wall is thick metal, and most people aren’t strong enough to hold themselves securely to get down safely.”

    Border wall lines most of Sunland Park’s southside. Like El Paso, its neighbor to the east across the Texas state line, crime here is low and even residential fires are infrequent. Still, Border Patrol vehicles and U.S. Customs and Border Protection helicopters armed with an array of cameras constantly hover over the town of 17,000.The reason? Border Patrol current and former officials say the area is one of the El Paso Sector’s hot spots for migrant smuggling. The rugged mountain with an iconic Christ the King statue on top that sits between Mexico and the United States is allegedly exploited by criminal organizations that operate out of the Anapra neighborhood of Juarez, Mexico.

    I wonder how long it will take the media and loony left to start propagandizing it as being a hate crime against against our southern neighbors by Trump for building the wall which the maiming of innocent people just looking for a better life... and is considered a direct result of that said wall and start encouraging a class lawsuit or maybe... even another impeachment.

      Biden admin reportedly sending illegal immigrant kids to TN, alarming state lawmakers

      Tennessee lawmakers are raising the alarm amid reports that President Joe Biden’s administration is flying unaccompanied illegal immigrant children into the state in the middle of the night without any prior notification. According to a WRCB-TV Channel 3 report last week, Biden’s administration is transporting the children to Chattanooga’s Wilson Air Center overnight, at which point they are bused to several cities throughout the southeast. A source familiar with the situation told the local news channel that around 30 to 50 minors are transported at a time, with some heading to reunite with family members, while others are sent to group homes.The source went on to say that the operation began in Dallas, Texas, but changed to smaller airports in order to avoid attention.

      “Our office has received no information from the Biden Administration informing us of a mass transportation of migrants to Tennessee,” Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn said in a statement. “It is absolutely unacceptable if the Biden Administration is facilitating a mass migration without any input or oversight from Tennesseans and the affected communities.” On Tuesday, Sen. Blackburn also questioned the cost to taxpayers to transport illegal immigrants throughout the U.S. “Taxpayers are footing the bill for illegal entrants to be flown to their requested location,” she tweeted. “Mr. President, how much is the tab?”

      “I have warned for months that President Biden’s failure at the border would result in a systematic resettling of migrants in our communities, burdening our schools, hospitals, and law enforcement agencies, and bringing an increase in drug trafficking and human smuggling,” Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-TN, said in a statement to Fox News. “A new reality is happening in our country—every town is now a border town.” Blackburn once again took to Twitter to condemn the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis, this time alleging, “President Biden and his administration are complicit in the trafficking of illegal immigrants.

      Earlier this year, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee declined a Biden administration request to house illegal immigrant children in the state. “The Admin is not simply trafficking kids through Tennessee, they are also housing them in our state.”

        Report: Joe Biden’s DHS May Bring Deported Illegal Aliens Back to U.S.

        President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may consider a plan to bring deported illegal aliens back to the United States, presumably paid for by American taxpayers.The open borders lobby shared a plan with the Biden administration to bring illegal aliens deported by former President Donald Trump’s administration back to the U.S., according to the Associated Press (AP). More than 935,000 illegal aliens were deported by the Trump administration.The plan, open borders activists with the corporate-backed National Immigrant Justice Center suggest, could be done through executive order by Biden and create an office inside DHS that allows deported illegal aliens to submit requests to return to the U.S.The AP reports:

        The plan asks the government to take into account factors like people who were eligible for legal status and had applied before being deported or those who have compelling circumstances.

        The proposal has been shared with White House staff, the group said. It plans to invite Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to discuss the proposal and include a letter signed by 75 immigrants’ rights organizations supporting the plan.

        A White House spokesperson referred questions about the proposal to the Department of Homeland Security, which did not immediately respond.
        The plan comes as the Biden administration weighs another initiative to provide amnesty and reparations to more than 1,000 illegal aliens deported by the Trump administration. That plan would be a result of negotiations between the Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which is representing the illegal aliens whose children are still in the U.S.While the Biden administration has not explicitly endorsed the plan set forth by the National Immigrant Justice Center, similar provisions are included in the White House’s official amnesty plan, suggesting administration officials are supportive of such a policy.As Breitbart News reported, Biden’s plan would give amnesty to illegal aliens who were already deported from the U.S. by the Trump administration starting in January 2017.

        Specifically, the provision provides DHS waivers to deported illegal aliens — as long as they have not been convicted of a felony or three misdemeanors — so that they can return to the U.S. and apply for amnesty.Today, there are roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. and 42 million foreign nationals south of the U.S.-Mexico border who have said they want to migrate to the U.S. This is a foreign population that is nearly five times the population of New York City.

          Border Invasion Continues. Agents Have Caught More Than 1M Since October 1

          U.S. border agents have apprehended more than one million illegal aliens at the border with Mexico since October 1, the beginning of the fiscal year, and are on track to apprehend at least an additional 550,000 if the June daily rate of apprehensions continues.The latest monthly total of apprehensions, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported, jumped 4.5 percent from last month to almost 190,000. As well, the number of criminals apprehended jumped 13.2 percent to almost 8,000 on the fiscal year. If anything is clear about the crisis at the border, it’s this: Joe Biden and his leftist subalterns are trying to alter the demographics of the country by swamping it with the poor of Latin America in the hope they will become Democrat voters.

          The latest shocking figure from the southwest frontier with Mexico and ports of entry followed May’s relatively small increase from April. Agents apprehended 188,829 illegals in June, up from 180,641 in May. In April, agents apprehended 178,850. Monthly apprehensions zoomed almost the minute Biden took office and ordered federal immigration authorities to open the borders. In January, President Trump’s last month in office, agents caught 78,442 illegals. In February, they caught 101,095, a 28.9-percent increase.The difference from October is even more stark. Apprehensions were 72,115. Some 63 percent of June’s apprehensions were, as usual, single adults: 117,602. Another 55,805, about 30 percent, were in so-called families.Agents caught 178,416 trying to jump the border; they stopped the rest at ports of entry.

          The total apprehended thus far this year is staggering: 1,119,204; 1,076,242, or 96.2 percent, jumped the border.The size of the Camp of the Saints invasion and the task facing border agents becomes even more incomprehensible in looking at daily and hourly figures:

          For June: 6,294 per day; 262 per hour;
          Fiscal 2021 through June: 6,183 per day; 258 per hour.
          Should June’s rate continue through September, agents will catch another 579,048 by September 30, the last day of fiscal 2021. Total apprehensions will be almost 1.7 million.That figure is slightly less than the population of West Virginia, and about equal to the population of Phoenix, Arizona, the fifth-largest city in the country. If the lower rate for the nine months of the fiscal year holds, agents will apprehend another 568,836. The total for the year will be about the same. In 12 months, agents will have arrested the equivalent of every living soul in Phoenix or West Virginia.Border authorities have no reason to believe the flow will stop.

          Not surprisingly, agents have their hands full not just with jobless “migrants.” Criminals keep coming, too.CPB reports that agents caught 7,830 thieves, rapists, murderers, drug dealers, drunk drivers, and others who came to do the jobs Americans won’t do.

          * Assault, battery, domestic violence: 881
          * Burglary, robbery, larceny, theft, fraud: 612
          * Driving under the influence: 1,250
          * Homicide, manslaughter: 46
          * Illegal drug possession, trafficking: 1,593
          * Illegal entry, re-entry: 4,378
          * Illegal weapons possession, transport, trafficking: 246
          * Sexual offenses: 393
          * Other: 2,049

          As of May, agents had apprehended 6,918 criminal illegals. This year’s total of criminal illegals is already 221-percent more than last year’s 2,438. Agents are catching about 870 per month. If that pace continues, they’ll have to deal with another 2,610 criminals for a total of 10,440 on the year. Biden has done nothing to stanch the invasion and is, frighteningly, flying illegals around the country and dumping them into unsuspecting communities. How many are criminals Biden cannot know. And even if he could, he wouldn’t care. He decided months ago not to deport dangerous criminal illegals.

            Biden wants taxpayers to pay for lawyers for illegal aliens

            The Biden administration believes that border violators have more rights than American citizens. If you or I try to enter our homeland from a foreign country, we are required to provide a negative COVID test, but an illegal entrant on the southern border faces no such necessity. And receives complimentary transportation to the destination of his/her/their choice courtesy of our taxes, to boot. While Americans are guaranteed legal representation in criminal cases regardless of ability to pay, when it comes to civil court proceedings, we’re all on our own. But if the Biden administration gets its plan passed, illegal aliens will benefit from taxpayer-funded lawyers in these civil cases, even though another law forbids such assistance. Anna Giaritelli reports in the Washington Examiner:

            President Joe Biden proposed in his immigration plan released this week that Congress should make available $15 million to cover the costs of private lawyers for “families and vulnerable individuals,” with another $23 million to cover legal orientation programs administered by the Justice Department. The proposal, first outlined in Biden's fiscal year 2022 budget, is the first time that an administration has proposed covering such an expense, and the White House has not shared additional information. [Heritage senior fellow for homeland security Lora] Ries and [former federal immigration judge from the York Immigration Court Andrew] Arthur, a resident fellow in law and policy for the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, a group that advocates for tighter restrictions on immigration, pointed to a passage in the Immigration Nationality Act that they said bars the government from spending its own money on legal representation in immigration proceedings.

            Section 292 of the law states that “in any removal proceedings before an immigration judge and in any appeal proceedings before the Attorney General from any such removal proceedings, the person concerned shall have the privilege of being represented (at no expense to the Government) by such counsel, authorized to practice in such proceedings, as he shall choose.” “An alien should pay for their own counsel, or there are many, many pro bono organizations and advocacy organizations that can represent them. The American taxpayer should not be paying for an attorney for someone who is removable,” said Ries. Ries and Arthur said it would not be fair to provide lawyers for people in immigration cases, which are civil matters, because U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents do not receive taxpayer-funded legal representation if they are the defendant in other civil matters, such as divorces or rent disputes.
            The sums proposed would cover only a tiny fraction of the illegals violating our borders, ever since Biden threw out the welcome mat. Which means that the next stage will be expanding the funding because of the “crisis” of unrepresented illegals.

            Don’t expect the agitprop media to cover this story now. But wait until the initial round of money is passed and court cases start being attended by taxpayer-funded legal counsel and then the money exhausted. That’s when you’ll see stories on CNN, MSNBC, and the alphabet networks featuring the cutest possible little children who face deportation because there wasn’t “enough” money for their lawyers. “Denied counsel and deported” will scream the headlines, preferably with a grieving parent or two separated from the child.

                Re: Border Crisis

                Why doesn't this surprise me...

                Biden blames Texas, Fla. for COVID ‘surge’ after flooding U.S. with over 100k untested, unquarantined illegal aliens

                The White House has targeted Republican officials for the rise in coronavirus cases. Speaking from the White House on Tuesday, Joe Biden specifically blamed Texas and Florida.He went on to say, “just two states, Florida and Texas, account for one third of all new COVID-19 cases in the entire country.” Biden went on to denounce the “bad” policy of governors who have made mask wearing and vaccinations optional. He ordered them to “get out of the way.” “I say to these governors, please help,” he stated. “If you’re not going to help at least get out of the way of people who are trying to do the right thing.”

                Statement responding to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland’s letter regarding Executive Order GA-37:



                Critics were quick to refute Biden’s claims by calling them ill informed and politically motivated. Many have cited the fact that more than 100,000 illegal aliens arrived in Texas last month alone. Many of whom tested positive for COVID or were experiencing viral symptoms. On Tuesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), who may have earned a target on his back amid rumors of his potential 2024 presidential bid, warned Biden mandate interventions have “failed time and time again throughout this pandemic.” DeSantis went on to correct the record by pointing out hospital admissions in his state were slowing down and COVID mortality has continued to decline.

                  Gov. Rob DeSantis blasts Biden, vows Florida won’t be ‘biomedical security state’

                  Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis ripped President Biden Wednesday, accusing the White House of trying to implement a “biomedical security state” and warning that “I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID” until the administration’s border policy changes. DeSantis was scheduled to deliver remarks on Florida’s economy at an event in Panama City, but instead unleashed a four-and-a-half-minute diatribe against the president, accusing him of trying to “single out” Florida over its rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. “This is a guy who ran for president saying he was gonna ‘shut down the virus’. And what has he done?” DeSantis asked. “He’s imported more virus from around the world by having a wide-open southern border“. “I can tell you, whatever variants are around the world, they’re coming across that southern border,” the governor added. “And so, he’s not shutting down the virus, he’s helping to facilitate it in our country.” DeSantis then turned his ire on the CDC’s recommendation that masks be worn in all K-12 schools by students, teachers, staff and visitors. “I can tell you in Florida, the parents are going to be the ones in charge of that decision,” he said.

                  DeSantis’ refusal to institute mask or vaccine mandates is a sore point with the administration, which has repeatedly pointed out this week that one-third of all new coronavirus cases have occurred in Florida and Texas — both states with prominent GOP governors who are considered potential White House contenders in 2024. “If some governors aren’t willing to do the right thing to beat this pandemic, then they should allow businesses and universities who want to do the right thing to be able to do it,” Biden said Tuesday in response to pushback against mask and vaccine mandates. “I say to these governors, ‘Please, help.’ But if you aren’t going to help, at least get out of the way of the people who are trying to do the right thing. Use your power to save lives.”

                  On Wednesday, DeSantis accused Biden of wanting to copy New York’s sweeping vaccine mandate, in which “restaurants should ban young kids from being able to go in because they’re not eligible for vaccination, and law-abiding citizens have to produce proof of their medical records just to go to the gym or attend an event, or just to participate in everyday society. “He wants that, but yet if you want to vote, he thinks it’s too much of a burden to show a picture ID when you’re voting,” the governor went on. “So no voter ID, but you have to show your medical papers just to be able to live an everyday life? Give me a break.” DeSantis added that America faces a choice between being a “free society, or we can have a biomedical security state. And I can tell you, Florida, we’re a free state.”

                  The governor closed with a warning to the administration: “If you’re coming after the rights of parents in Florida, I’m standing in your way. I’m not going to let you get away with it. If you’re trying to deny kids a proper in-person education, I’m gonna stand in your way and I’m gonna stand up for the kids in Florida. If you’re trying to restrict people, impose mandates, if you’re trying to ruin their jobs and their livelihoods and their small business, if you are trying to lock people down, I am standing in your way, and I’m standing for the people of Florida. “So why don’t you do your job? Why don’t you get this border secure, and until you do that, I don’t want to hear a blip about COVID from you.”

                      Re: Border Crisis

                      All eyes are on Afghanistan but the border crisis hasn’t gone away

                      Leave it to President Joe Biden to distract from his mushrooming border crisis — by creating yet another huge one in Afghanistan. Yet make no mistake: The stampede from the south toward the Mexican border hasn’t slowed; it’s accelerated.Even Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, in leaked audio obtained by Fox News recently, acknowledged what anyone with eyes already knows: The massive influx of illegal migrants will come at a high cost to America. “If our border is our first line of defense, we’re going to lose, and this is unsustainable,” Mayorkas said. “We can’t continue like this, our people in the field can’t continue, and our system isn’t built for it.” Unsustainable is right: In July alone, US border agents encountered 212,000 migrants, a 21-year high, including 19,000 unaccompanied children. It’s a 13 percent increase over June’s 189,000 and follows increases every month since Biden took office.

                      In total this year, border agents have stopped more than 1.1 million crossings. The last time stops topped 1 million was back in 2006, but it took nearly the whole year to reach that point. Now Biden’s got his hands full with Americans and their allies racing to escape the Taliban in Afghanistan. And Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he tapped to address the “root causes” of the border disorder, has been useless from the get-go.

                      As with Afghanistan, this debacle was created by Biden himself. He jettisoned Trump-era policies, like the Remain in Mexico program, that managed to keep the situation under control, signaling that all comers are welcome. Biden could solve the problem by restoring those policies. If he doesn’t, Mayorkas will be right: America will “lose.”

                              Build that wall!

                              The southern border with Mexico is seeing the highest levels of illegal border crossings in 35 years, but the Department of Homeland Security has found one access point it can shore up — doling out $455,000 to a Delaware construction company for a fence around President Biden’s “Summer White House.”

                              DHS building $455K security fence around Biden’s Delaware beach house

                              A security fence costing American taxpayers nearly half a million dollars is being built around the border of President Joe Biden’s beach house in Delaware, a federal database on government spending shows. Biden has been a staunch opponent of fencing along the US-Mexico border.

                              According to USASPENDING.gov, the Department of Homeland Security awarded on September 21 a $456,548 contract to Rehoboth’s Turnstone Builders for “purchase and installation of security fencing at 32 Farview, Rehoboth Delaware.” Biden bought the home in June 2017 for $2.7 million, tax records show.

                              Biden’s beach house barrier is currently “in progress” and is slated to be finished by December 31.

                              The spending data comes after Biden ended construction of the barrier along the US-Mexico border. In July, the DHS – the same department behind Biden’s beach house barrier – announced that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is canceling two Texas border barrier projects that include 31 miles of border wall construction, asserting they “are not necessary to address any life, safety, environmental or other remediation requirements.”

                              “The [Biden] Administration also continues to call on Congress to cancel remaining border wall funding and instead fund smarter border security measures, like border technology and modernization of land ports of entry, that are proven to be more effective at improving safety and security at the border,” the DHS said.

                              Over 1.5 million illegal immigrants have been arrested at the southern border since January, according to CBP data. The administration is reportedly preparing for another 400,000 illegal immigrants to enter the United States southern border in October in an unprecedented surge, Department of Homeland Security officials told NBC News.

                              In an effort to help stop the flow of illegal immigrants, ten GOP governors, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, announced a 10-point plan to stop President Biden’s border crisis.

                              “The Biden Administration’s open border policies have led to complete chaos at the southern border, and pose a threat to the safety of Texans and all Americans,” Gov. Abbott said. “Together, we are sending a strong message to the Biden Administration that we will not tolerate their refusal to secure the border — and we will continue to do whatever it takes to keep our communities safe.”

                              In one of his first moves as president, Biden signed an Executive Order that terminated former-President Trump’s national emergency declaration of the United States’ southern border and canceled border wall funding, calling the project “not a serious policy solution.”

                              “It shall be the policy of my Administration that no more American taxpayer dollars be diverted to construct a border wall,” Biden’s order stated.

                                Build that wall!

                                The southern border with Mexico is seeing the highest levels of illegal border crossings in 35 years, but the Department of Homeland Security has found one access point it can shore up — doling out $455,000 to a Delaware construction company for a fence around President Biden’s “Summer White House.”

                                The Democrats are nothing more than professional hypocrites.. No walls or fencing to protect our borders but when it comes to them they put up fences and hire armed security to protect them..
