A 22-year-old Mexican woman plunged off a 20-foot cliff while trying to cross the border into the U.S. illegally, landing her in the hospital with a fractured spine, investigators said last week.

U.S. Border Patrol agents around 9 p.m. on Thursday spotted a man on surveillance footage walking near Highway 98 near Ocotillo in California.

The man was detained for processing. The woman will get sent back to Mexico once she’s out of the hospital, officials said.

No snarky comment from me on this. Sympathy and prayers for the young woman. No excuse for trying to break the law, but still, this is tragic. Perhaps God will use it in her life to enable her to one day immigrate to America legally.

Build the damn wall. We don't want any more illegal Mejicanos to risk... well, we don't want any more illegal Mejicanos.

A border wall will stop people from trying to make such a risky crossing. Build it now.

Libs always try to make it sound worse... She broke her spine. OMG, how awful! Gives you the chills. Much worse than breaking your back. Breaking her spine is almost like she broke her brain stem.

This is just awful :-(

Prayers up for this poor woman.

I know she was breaking our law... but I could never wish this tragedy on anyone.

Yeah, no kidding.
But there’s probably a million dollar unreimbursed hospital and rehab bill just to get her fit to deport.

A lawyer will sue the government for not making illegal crossing safe.

Well, not all immigrants vote dem, many do but not all. It’s probably around a 60/40 split with most voting dem. Many of them wanted to get away from oppressive leftist governments.

Liberals’ unwillingness to enforce immigration law is a major factor in this woman’s injury.

It encourages risky and dangerous actions.

Children are endangered.

US citizens are endangered.

Time to build the wall.

About a third of it could be paid for by defunding Planned Parenthood.

What you say is totally ridiculous. Immigrants are mostly Hispanic. You say it's only a 20 point advantage . ridiculous. It's a 44 point advantage for democrats as the media radicalizes minorities more every year. Let that sink in.
We all know blacks vote 95% for democrats and that's how Roy Moore lost in Alabama. the increasing number of immigrants into California turned that state democrat/communist.

The advantage is plus 44 points in recent election for democrats. That's practically all immigrants or so many that immigration has to be stopped or this country will be a one party socialist state soon , a democrat country as California is. You might think that's funny but I hope you like living in concentration camp because that is what socialist countries like Venezuela and North Korea turn into.

Illegals wouldn’t be risking life and limb to come here if conservatives would let liberals carry out their plan to turn the U.S. into a third world hell hole.

That’s from a 20 foot fall.

A 30 foot wall is no joke. It is like the roof of a three story building. Better than half of the people who fall from that height will die - the rest will be very badly hurt. Those stories will travel widely, and be on TV and in newspapers throughout Latin America. The Israelis have experienced great success with 25 foot walls.

Really, few people will even try a 30 foot wall. The Special Forces guys they got to test the prototypes had a real tough time with it - and had to stop the testing to get extra safety measures before continuing.
