The unforeseen consequences of a higher border wall

UC San Diego Health reports an increase of falling injuries at the border.

If you're that worried about getting hurt than STAY OFF THE WALL!!!

How is that unforeseen? A tall wall does two things: it looks difficult to climb and actually IS difficult to climb. What goes up must come down.

If they climb and fall then it will be their own fault

[RacecarSpelledBackwards]

The fact that they are surviving the fall tells me wall is not high enough.

[davidbramuchi]

Are we supposed to feel sorry for people breaking into our country and getting hurt...I think not!

[lennyray]

Ain’t that the purpose of the height increase to detour climbing it for reasons of possible falling injuries and death? Same reasons for the height and razor wire on prison walls to detour people from climbing it.

An HIGH VOLTAGE electric fence over the top would stop that immediately.

[Carlitos--]

If someone climbs your house fence why would you be liable if they fall?

Couple interesting things stood out to me in this clip:
1. First time I've heard a doctor say someone died while covid positive but not from covid.

2. Increase in "border wall fall injuries" but don't mention the increase in border crossings over the same time period. More people crossing, more injuries. Pretty simple.

Maybe that was the point of raising the wall!

And of course, Trump is to be blamed ? Sometimes i wonder in what world you people live . Really sad the path we, re taking .

[davidfrank]

It sounds like we need to make the wall just a little higher. You know who is not falling from the wall? People who are not committing a crime by crossing our borders illegally.

[debbiemiller]

They are not supposed to be here end of story

[brandywiNe]

Well shit, that's their own doing. They shouldn't be climbing it in the first place

[scottlanghoff]

Here’s an idea!

CLOSE THE BORDER, by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

Finish building the Wall!

LEGAL Travelers can use the Ports of Entry.

Those wishing to immigrate can follow the Internationally-recognized custom of applying through the US Consulate in their Home Country!

Problem solved.

The wall is doing its job . It's supposed to be unclimbable so don't climb it and you will be fine. That's the purpose of a wall to deter people from coming in, duh.

[commanderbell]

Don't climb the wall problem solved

[mayle]

Their leaders should take responsible for their own people

[Shadow-mbyz]

If they don't climb on the wall then they don't get hurt. Problem solved!! So they blame the wall for getting hurt. So I trip and fall do I blame the ground🤨?

You break the law, then be prepared to pay the price. Criminal activity has its consequences.
