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 Democratic Media Complex have their first martyr.

Her children were also evaluated at the hospital for potential fall trauma and, showing no injuries, were released back to Border Patrol custody.

Sounds like they made it. Tom

"...impaled..."

With all the frightening horror one would associate with a cube of cheddar cheese “impaled” on a toothpick during Thanksgiving hors’d'oeuvres.

Ancient Rome use to line the Apian Way with the impaled bodies of its enemies as a warning. Old-school crime deterrent.

Not being too morbid, when I see or hear the word impaled, my old buddy Vlad jumps into my thought process.

Apparently we are talking a different kind of impaled as survival usually isn’t in the cards for impaled people.

Her, her brood and anyone who claims to know her should be properly processed for FUTURE BS and shipped back to wherever, AS an example of what happens when you don’t wait your turn.

OH, yes, we are allowed to call it a $hiite Hole country when we ‘force’ them back.

No doubt in my mind.

And she is now in America and already collecting Health Care.

Praise be to God she didn’t make her children orphans! What a stupid thing to do.

The fence aint working if she wasn’t dead.

[tallyhoe]

Deport her!

[Robert DeLong]

When she fell, pieces of rebar pierced her side and buttocks.

[PrairieLady2]

Pieces of rear? Does that even make sense?

[Robert DeLong]

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.

I hope the Border Patrol receive my email about placing landmines..

😂😂

Bad things happen when you make bad decisions.

[Sequoyah101]

Building a better barrier is the only humane thing to do to prevent accidents like this.

It was a pain in the butt for her.

[RightGeek]

So she gets free medical care in the USA?
