SUNLAND PARK, New Mexico (Border Report) – A woman from Mexico suffered serious head injuries falling over a 14-foot stretch of border wall this week in what officials describe as an illegal crossing attempt.

U.S. Border Patrol agents and Sunland Park Fire Department personnel arrived to render aid and a helicopter transported the 39-year-old woman to El Paso’s University Medical Center – a level 1 trauma facility – for further treatment. The unidentified migrant remained in critical condition late Thursday.

Wednesday morning’s incident was the latest in a string of recent emergency calls involving injured migrants that first responders in this southern New Mexico border town have answered.

I don't condone what she did, but if I were in her shoes I'd probably do the same.  All one has to do is look across the fence at Juarez as you drive through El Paso and see the poverty found there.  What's the downside to what she attempted to do?  If she makes it across, then her life is changed.  Sadly for her she may have risked her life in the process.
