A 19-year-old Guatemalan woman fell to her death along with her unborn baby after trying to climb the U.S.-Mexico border wall.
The Guatemalan consulate released the news of Miriam Estefany Giron Luna's death on Thursday, which happened in Clint, Texas. She was climbing the border wall when she fell approximately 20 feet and landed on her back.
"Despite the best efforts of our Border Patrol agents and medical professionals, sadly, more lives have perished at the hands of human smugglers," El Paso Border Patrol sector Chief Gloria Chavez said.

"Someone in Mexico guided this eight-months-pregnant woman from Guatemala to this section of the border and encouraged her and helped her climb the steel mesh border barrier," Chavez added. "We will engage our law enforcement partners in Mexico to find those responsible for placing these lives in danger."
Good grief, as sad as this is, but wouldn't you put some blame on the lady. Next just blame us for having a country worth invading.

Someone trying to break into our country illegally is certainly no lady.

Something tells me she didn't weigh the risks sufficiently.
