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.

That's what Murphy Brown calls a "spatchcock"...

Which is quite possibly the only type she is familiar with, but that's a story for another time.

HUNH?

I suggest that you learn how to write a cogent, coherent sentence.

I see the Mod removed the comment at #2. Good. It gives me more respect for FR’s standards of decency.

Once she crosses she’ll be detained
on our side. Awaiting the outcome
of her asylum claim.
I wonder if the construction crew
will be ordered to remove life
threatening obstacles, including
the wire. There is sure to be some
lawyer that will pursue this.

“It’s the humane thing to do!”

It really IS the humane thing to do. These folks getting ripped off by the smugglers. Dying in the desert. Sometimes almost slave labor in the USA, and fear of the police all the time.

Trespass over a national border is a crime, yes...

The difference between you and I is that I've seen more murderers...and murder victims...than you've had hot dinners.That ugly,ugly,ugly experience has shaped my attitude on many things...including our southern border.Actually,*all* our borders.

Walk in my shoes and I'd bet everything I own that you'd feel pretty much the same.

Instead, I would have preferred that our Border Patrol call the Mexican equivalent of 9-1-1.

And BTW....if you review the posts in this thread it would appear that I'm not the only one who would have liked that to have happened.

Just sayin'...

The story was promising when the word “impaled” was in the headline...

They make rubber/plastic guards to prevent such injuries. The guard is placed on the top of the exposed rebar.

Please try to understand that under no circumstances do I wish any one harm.

The fact remains the same for me and that is I don’t care!

Maybe it’s time for these people to stand up and fight for the freedoms they want in their home counties instead of trying to achieve them on the backs of hard working American citizens.

Oh you poor "triggered" snowflake; had my post to you removed.

Well, well, well...you're one of THE biggest hypocrites on the face of the earth! Your vitriolic, condemning others post should be removed then, as well.
