Mother falls from border fence, impaled by rebar during illegal crossing with kids
San Diego Union-Tribune ^ | 11/24/2018 | Kristina Davis

A mother who scaled the U.S.-Mexico border fence near the San Ysidro Port of Entry Friday night fell and was impaled by pieces of rebar, Border Patrol said Saturday.

The 26-year-old Guatemalan woman was with her two children, ages 3 and 5, when she crossed illegally, said Border Patrol Agent Tekae Michael. She told agents she was not part of the massive migrant caravan camped out in Tijuana, Michael said.

Border Patrol arrived to render medical aid about 8:25 p.m. and requested assistance from the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. She was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The mother climbed the fence east of the port of entry, where construction crews have been working to replace decades-old primary fencing with a new barrier. When she fell, pieces of rebar pierced her side and buttocks.

She said she wasn’t with the caravan in order to get special consideration.

Well..she made it over so she’s already going to collect welfare for her hospital bill....she’ll also have immediate attorney assist....those vultures are waiting to be the hero’s of the day for these illegals. And i figure she lied about not being with the caravan so she could get special treatment.

It’s good that she survived. After she heals up, presumably at our expense, send her back with her kids and a bill to the appropriate country of origin.

Shes part of the caravan...someone who would cheat by breaking through our borders would also LIE...

she knew the new rules...don’t come in here illegally...don’t climb the fence...knock politely on our front door and ask nicely to be admitted...and prove you should be allowed to come into our house...

1. impaled by pieces of rebar
2. non-life threatening injuries.

#2 doesn’t logically flow from #1.

only if the dems want to show how stupid they can be. No one is responsible for this woman being hurt except this woman herself.

She chose to get her kids and her to the border likely illegally crossing through mexico. she chose to illegally climb and try to enter a country (the USofA) she has no right or business being in.

She is causing herself more and more problems but wants others to be her answer for how to solve them instead of getting her answers from God and doing right things to help her self and her life situations.

Bravery, courage, wisdom, any other good quality media or liberal thinking people may want to label her with are really only found by following God and laws of land you lived in, not running from where you live and the problems there and trying to sneak in or steal or abuse systems of other people and places.

The heart and motives are always known by God even those selfish motives of govt or people with distorted context of or cherry picking only certain verses of bible instead of whole bible which does not encourage stealing, enabling, irresponsibility of persons or mismanagement of public monies, etc etc unlike these invaders and those in our country who help them, including political, organizations, churches, businesses, even military like the guardsman caught helping them recently.

Bible says even God at some point will take His hand off some people who repeatedly don’t listen to and obey Him.

Every single invader bringing a kid is showing the kid it’s ok to break laws and manipulate to get things from people. That clearly is not biblical nor are those orgs, churches, businesses who accept govt monies to help such illegal actions against our govt and countrymen but also wrong by the word of God.

if you have given tithe or donation to the catholic church general fund, there is likely hood some of that went to feeding illegals or otherwise helping them. If you have cooperated in canned food drive it’s likely gone to help illegals. I have seen in many churches even non catholic where they willingly feed or help illegals for the feel good factor of outreach but those I observed don’t follow thru with getting people to face their illegal status, or if actual usa citizens follwing up with the homeless or others collecting food box to get them off streets into jobs etc off the hand out lists. instead some help get them on govt assistance. Jesus did not help every single person who saught help from Him and neither should we. Until the person is ready to face their own responsibility in the matter, nothing truly helps just enables their addiction of manipulating others.

Sign me up for your “I DON’T GIVE A RAT’S ASS” Team. I stopped when they took their FIRST dirty doorstep on this “journey to freedom”.

Me too! This country has been exploited enough by these idiot hordes. It's not as though we don't have millions of Central Americans here already. IOW we have been generous on immigration from these sh__ holes.  NOT my problem you were born in a sh__ hole! Stay away from America!

Then I guess she'll get special consideration, alright.

we may as well build OSHA approved staircases to accommodate trespassers to prevent the expense of patching up new Democrats.

What kind of fence, let alone wall, is it if a Latina and her two toddlers can mount and cross over it?

I am not an enabler. I put no money in the parish-diocese-Vatican pipeline, where it's all fungible, nor, God forefend, in the CCHD.

100% of my Catholic two-cents-worth goes to charities which are independent from both the Papal Pipeline and from Holy Mother the State. For instance, our local Respect Life Committee.

As for bags of beans which may find their way to invaders, I don't begrudge it. I don't think Christ cautioned me not to give beans to certain disfavored persons.

In fact, if invaders are enemies - and there's evidence that says they are ---the instructions are explicit on that exact point:

If your enemy is hungry,
give him food to eat,
and if he is thirsty,
give him water to drink.
For in so doing,
you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the LORD will reward you.

That's the instructions, both from the Old Testament Prov. 25:21 and the New Testament Romans 122:20 and carried out in practice to a T:

2 Chron, 28:15

"The men designated by name took the prisoners,
and from the plunder
they clothed them,
gave them sandals and food and drink,
anointed their wounds,
and put all the feeble on donkeys.
So they brought them to Jericho, the City of Palms,
to their brothers.
Then they returned to Samaria."

So, beans to the invaders, and the blessing of God. I want them deported. I don't want them dead.

And applies particularly to that unfortunate lady who got impaled while trying (illegally) to get over a border fence. Good wishes to the lady and her two children, toward a safe journey home and a better Honduras.

The illegal wasn't impaled by re-bar, she was scratched. The first press lie was in the headline.

I guess the press feels if they lie in a big dramatic fashion that we'll all go, “oh let another 40 million illegals in the country so no young innocent mother is ‘impales’ on re-bar...

You're a vile person Kristina Davis - YOU are the reason - you and others like you - are the reason people trust used car salespeople MORE than journalists.

I know. She should have stayed off the fence as it could have been worse.
