Hospital Overwhelmed as Migrants Injured from 'Unclimbable' Southern Border Wall

Hospitals in border communities are seeing a surge in injuries and fatalities related to falls from the 30-foot steel border fence, contradicting former President Trump's claim that the wall is unclimbable. Trauma surgeons warn that these incidents are a public health crisis, with county hospitals in El Paso and San Diego receiving one patient per day with border wall fall-related trauma. The injuries range from broken bones to life-altering spinal and cranial injuries. Despite the dangers, the Biden administration and the state of Texas are investing in new border fencing amid record apprehensions of migrants. Surgeons argue that the height of the wall is intentionally designed to induce vertigo and increase the likelihood of falls.
