Surge in Migrant Injuries at Border Wall Raises Concerns

A San Diego hospital reports a record number of migrant injuries, highlighting the growing risks associated with attempts to scale the heightened U.S.-Mexico border wall.

• A record number of migrants were injured in February at a San Diego hospital, with injuries attributed to attempts to scale the 30-foot border walls.
• The increase in injuries is part of a growing trend, with some patients suffering severe injuries requiring hospitalization.
• Illegal immigration numbers have risen for three consecutive years, with injuries and deaths increasing significantly since the height of the border wall was raised.
• Critics argue that the higher walls have led to more injuries, calling the policy inhumane, while some defend the wall as necessary for American safety.
• Recent incidents include a mass casualty event where 10 migrants were injured after falling from the wall, and a father of three dying after a similar fall.
