Two teenagers from Guatemala were “severely injured” in Arizona Friday after they fell while scaling an 18-foot border wall that separates the United States and Mexico, federal officials said.

Welcome to America. Hope you enjoyed your $50,000 helicopter ride provided by we American taxpayers. Hope your taxpayer funded stay in the ICU is to your acceptance. Gotta head off to work now to pay for all of this.
National average is $12k to $25 for a air ambulance ride. Unless you are bleeding profusely or had a heart attack....I don’t anyone should approve the chopper ride...total waste for back injury.
The chopper should just pick them up and dump them back over the border.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The US has unlimited money. Just ask those in the House and Senate.
This will be their lottery ticket to be given top notch medical treatment and disability payments for the next 70 years. All they need is a government-paid immigration attorney.
America…what a country…if you are an illegal immigrant “with needs.”
As for us native-born tax drones, get to work.
Possible internal injuries. The First Responders cannot make that kind of assessment and must err on the side of caution.
And we get to pay for it, again. Invaders scaling the wall should be shot before they get on to US soil.
The medical community is the abusers of the helicopters. Ground truck crews hand them off so they can go back to the base and sleep. That is a fact as I have witnessed it many times. Have a hangnail at 0200 the grounds truck makes contact and forwards the request even though it takes longer. Ground truck crews usually have second and third jobs. Ground trucks get credit for the stabilization and a small penance for the initial contact. The helicopter service gets stuck holding the bag as most are privately owned. We figured that if we could get around seven actual payers a month the service paid for its self with a little cream on top.
should’ve dropped him from the helicopter and let him swim home
filing for disability as we speak, no doubt
te agradecemos
Chump. We are all chumps.
Sheesh,,,,
18 ft. Fence drop.
The Best and Brightest!
They don’t err on caution when they are willing to wait for an aircraft that takes 30 minutes to arrive, 15 minutes for the transfer and 30 minutes to the hospital when the total drive time would have been less than an hour. I once had a request for a critical care case that was being dumped. It was above our level and outside our normal area. The one hour flight to pick up, 30 minute transfer and 3 hour flight with a gas stop enroute due to weight limits would have exceeded the ground truck drive times. The local aircraft turned it down because it was the same situation. The very next day we had the same request come through. How critical is that?
I'm thinking 4 or 5 rolls of razor wire. 6 foot rebar Punji stakes are another option, but I'm open to suggestions.
This is going to be a running fight of action and reaction, until they illegals get the idea...
If you study the progression of the Berlin Wall, you can see why there was no graffiti on the East German side...
Well, they should also err on the side of the fence they came from—Mexico.
There was a video a month ago showing a man dropping from a 25 or 30 foot section.
It looked like he broke his leg.
Have an employee who last month had his young daughter become very ill. Went to the trauma center in Salinas, California. They determined that the child needed to be transferred to Stanford Medical Center some 60 miles away. Stanford sent a helicopter and flew the child up there. Billed my employee $70,000 for the helicopter ride. Unfortunately for him he is not an illegal alien.
