US tax payers will be responsible for his medical the rest of his life. He’ll sue the US for injuries and be allowed to stay and bring in 60 other chained family members.

Administer the same treatment as we do to a 🐴 with a broken leg.

the wall should have concertina wire on top, if they climb it should at least be very painful. Maybe make the wall 40 feet high as well.

Splint him and haul him back across the border in an oxcart.

And make sure you keep the oxcart.

Razor wire at he top of the wall will go a long way towards preventing such broken legs.

Jumped the wall did he? must’ve gotten a running start, AssPress.

Wasn't there a movie, maybe back in the 60s, in which an East Berliner pole-vaulted over the Berlin wall?

>>It works ... not as well as a mine field, but it works ...<<

Estimates are the wall would cost $10 billion. Trump was elected by about 65.5 million voters. If each of those voters would contribute a mere $100 to “The Wall Fund” I believe that would finance well over half the cost of the wall.

I am so very sorry to hear it. I had no idea. I don’t know what to say. I hope the government provided you with everything you need. God be with you.

Tell me, what's better, paying the bills for the few stoopid enough to attempt this suicidal endeavor? Or stopping the huge majority, literally tens of millions of illegals from entering, which cost America hundreds of billions?

It seems some people would bitch no matter what. It's almost like listening to the whiny Democrats, who'll complain about Trump no matter how much good he does.

What? I didn’t say anything about the wall. Heck, if it had been built higher he’d have broken his neck and we wouldn’t be up for law suits.
