A man attempting to enter the United States illegally was severely injured on Sunday evening after he fell from a 30-foot border wall located near Calexico, California.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced the incident Monday, saying the man fractured both legs and possibly injured his back.

After border patrol agents found the injured man, paramedics and fire department personnel were sent to the scene, CBP said. The man was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Palm Springs.

The U.S. government usually pays medical bills for people injured crossing the border illegally, before deporting them after they recover, said Border Patrol spokesman Carlos Pitones.

Why the hell are we paying the medical bills for people who are injured as they try to cross into our country illegally?

Helicopter should have picked his arse up, then touched down right back on the other side of the wall and kicked him out. Don't even power down.

See if they would have installed that moat full of crocodiles, like I suggested, this guy would have never been know about and we would NOT be paying medical bills...

I'd call for an ambulance on their side of the border crossing station and have them handle it.

Play stupid games.

Plus, the wall just got 10 feet taller.

The only other option is to load him in a catapult and fling his arse back over the wall.

I imagine we don’t want those optics.

You could have a catapult building contest and and have something similar to a long drive contest. Make it a STEM thing or something. Whoever catapults their mexican the furtherest wins a prize.

We had POTUS on camera in Europe flat out telling people not to cross illegally. frick a bunch of optics.

I want TWO 50' walls with a 10' no man's land between them and the gap is patrolled by rabid pit bulls with AIDS.

The Wall should be constructed such that it's sufficiently tall enough that a fall from the top would be fatal. It's the only humane thing to do.

So this is what we have to look forward to when Trump builds the wall?

No thank you.
