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.

So is she just released now?

[Lizavetta]

Impaled people matter. Give her citizenship now.

These sob stories about law breakers are so irritating.

Fence is almost working...

The headline should read that she was “cut”. Impaled is a bit dramatic.

I wouldn’t be surprised if some immigration lawyer gets her to sue.

[heshtesh]

Damn! I was hoping that she died.

Yep, because the truth is I don’t give a damn!

[jetson]

More grease on the top rail.

[a little elbow grease]

She may need a de-fence lawyer or two..

See.

A good high and wide fence would have prevented this from happening.

Build that fence high and wide!

It’s the humane thing to do!

Impaled makes her a victim,not an invader

[Salvavida]

She won’t pay a dime for emergency services or the medical bills. San Diego County tax payers will eat that one.

Anyone scaling a fence or breaking immigration laws should lose the ability to be a US citizen.

[Rusty0604]

Oh you know they will.

[fhayek]

Actions have consequences. $10 says that if I tried to scales the walls to Nancy Pelosi's compound, negative consequences would would befall me.

[Feckless]

Should have left her on the fence ala Vlad the Impaler as a warning to other Invaders

[donna]

Who gets to pay her medical bills?

Who gets to pay her medical bills?

[a little elbow grease]

We need kinder, gentler fences. Like walls.
