Re: Border Crisis
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.
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.
