A man attempting to enter the United States illegally has fallen from a new 30-foot high wall in California, breaking both his legs.

Paramedics determined that the man broke his legs and may have injured his back. He was taken to a hospital in Palm Springs.

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

So I’m paying his high medical expenses?

[Cowboy Bob]

Why didn’t they just throw him back over the wall. Now he’s in the US, with taxpayers paying for his hospital stay.

Spokesman Carlos Pitones says the U.S. government typically pays medical expenses for people who are injured crossing the border illegally

Why? This could turn into a racket if it hasn't already.

Set his legs and deport him in casts and make sure this is widely publicized.

Ping.

A “U” shaped bracket to straddle the top of the wall with a rope attached to let one’s self down would save broken bones.

[FLT-bird]

The Wall would be a good start.

Next we’ll need to add a moat behind it filled with man eating crocodiles. No medical bills that way.

[ssaftler]

Shoulda splinted his legs, given him some crutches and made arrangements for the Policia in Mexico to find him some hell hole medical facility on their side of the fence.

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

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

If Sheriff Joe could feed him, I wouldn’t mind keeping him locked up for a few years.

[Cobra64]

Crocks are not indigenous to the desert.

[NoLibZone]

send the bill to the DNC.

[hal ogen]

Throw the invader back over the wall. Not $.01 for treatment . Out!

[Impy]

I don’t want to say “Good, serves him right!!!!!!” or “Pity he survived.”

So I’ll just say “Fantastico!!” I mean that as an exasperated utterance of course because we are now paying for the SOB’s ER bills. Naturally I’m not pleased at all that his poor Humpy Dumpty @$$ was injured for I love and cherish all of God’s creatures. Sarcasm? What’s that, I don’t know what you’re talking about, there are tears in my eyes for our poor friend Ricky Retardo aka “Chicano Spiderman”. If his legs don’t heal maybe he can star in an “Ironside” reboot.

The question is why don’t we have a dry moat with some nice sharp spikes?

He jumped the wall?

Sign him up for the Mexican Olympic team

[dragnet2]

Attempting to scale a 30’ wall, built to repel and resist climbers, is really stoopid or maybe suicidal. He’s lucky with only 2 broken legs and an injured back.

Probably shoved his leg bones into his armpits.

[caww]

He’s lucky already.....he made it into the US. No doubt if he’ll risk the wall he’ll risk escaping the hospital..crutches and all.

[dragnet2]

Oh sure, but first they have to remove his upper legs from his armpits. He’ll be fine.

[dragnet2]

In the future we’ll probably be able to spot the few idiots who attempt it and survive...They’ll be the one’s in wheelchairs and strollers. Watch for the shrines with metallic balloons along the wall.
