A Mexican woman broke her ankles early Tuesday scaling the border fence in Douglas.So we, the taxpayers and citizens of this country, pay money to build a border fence to keep foreign nationals, including drug runners and terrorists, from crossing into our country from Mexico. Maria the illegal alien thumbs her nose at our laws and our national sovereignty then climbs over the fence that we put up to keep her out and injures herself, and now we, the taxpayers, have to pay for her to get a helicopter ride and first-rate treatment at an American hospital. It just never ends.
At 2 a.m., a Border Patrol agent working near the international line east of the Douglas port of entry on Jefferson Avenue heard faint yelling for help, said Mike Scioli, Border Patrol Tucson Sector spokesman.
The agent found a woman who appeared to have injured her ankles. She was alone, he said.
The agent stabilized her and called for paramedics. When paramedics arrived, the 35-year-old woman from Guanajuato, Mexico, lost a pulse below her left ankle, prompting officials to call for a medical helicopter, Scioli said.
She was flown to University Medical Center in Tucson for treatment on the two broken ankles. Her condition is unknown.
What's it going to take to get to the point where illegals who get hurt trying to invade our country are just turned over to Mexican authorities or transported directly to a Mexican hospital? But hey--it's only money. OUR money. Maria won't ever get a bill, much less pay it. We'll pay it. Or the hospital will have to eat it. And this goes on every single day, all along our border.
Are you paying attention, John McCain?
And this one frosts me, too.
Illegals refused to evacuate before hurricane
Claim government didn't do enough to assure aliens they wouldn't be deported
So they're now somehow "victims" because our government refused to pinky-swear not to send them back to their own countries as they sit around planning ways to evade our law enforcement officers. What do you want to bet that if one of these apartment buidlings full of illegals got flattened by the storm, we'd be sued by lawyers paid by the Mexican government who would argue that we breached some duty to these trespassers.
Illegal aliens decided to stay in New Orleans and tough out the storm, rather than board buses and trains and risk arrest by immigration authorities.
Even though officials promised not to check their status if they evacuated, many illegals did not accept the offer before Gustav struck, the Associated Press reported.
Carlos Mendoza, a 21-year-old Honduran, stayed behind with seven other people in a small apartment.
"We know that people died during Katrina, but we had no choice but to stay here," he told reporters. "Many stayed because of fear. I would say at least 50 percent of us."
Mendoza said he and his illegal alien friends feared arrest and deportation.
There are an estimated 30,000 illegal aliens in New Orleans, according to the AP report. The city became a hot zone for illegal immigration after hurricane Katrina left parts of it in ruins in 2005. A massive reconstruction effort attracted men from Mexico and Central America.
Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Labor Organizing Network, told reporters the recent crackdown on illegal immigration has made many aliens uneasy about the risks of traveling – even when offered free rides by authorities during an emergency evacuation.
"Moving around has become very difficult for undocumented workers," Alvarado said.
A day labor organizer with the New Orleans Workers Center for Racial Justice, Jacinta Gonzalez, said Hispanic communities have been scarred by increasing immigration raids and did not evacuate.
When they were told they would have to register to board the buses and trains, they grew more apprehensive. The procedure included ID wristbands to track evacuees by computer. Gonzalez said the officials didn't do enough to guarantee illegal aliens that they wouldn't be deported.
"The government didn't give people assurances that they would be returned to New Orleans," she said. "Just sending out press releases the day before the evacuation isn't going to work."
Honduran Santiago Gradiz, 61, accepted a ride to Houston with other illegal aliens. He told the AP they left early to avoid immigration checkpoints.
Gradiz and 10 friends have taken shelter in a one-bedroom apartment until they think it is safe to return. He said they are waiting for extra police and soldiers to leave New Orleans.
"Luckily I had some money from working the day before moving furniture," and was able to help pay costs of the trip, he told the AP.
Illegal alien Jose Gordillo, 50, said he and his sons braved the storm in their rental home.
"It's been a few weeks since we got work, so we didn't have the money to leave," Gordillo said. "I felt a little panicked during the storm, but with God's help we made it."
Hey Cucarachas! This is OUR country, not yours! We don't WANT you here. That's why we have laws against illegal entry and working without a taxpayer ID and a green card.
Send her back over the fence, broken ankles and all. GRRRRRRRR!
ReplyDeleteThe free ride needs to STOP!!
ReplyDeleteThrow her back over the fence. If she can't crawl to a hospital on her own side, oh well.
ReplyDeleteCall me a heartless bitch, but the Mexican embassy should have taken responsibility for her. Helicopter? Geez, how much did that cost?
