Fence Jumpers Break Legs to Get Into United States

“We could spend the whole state budget on the border and I am not sure it would solve the problem,” Arizona state senator tells PJM.

Arizona Sen. David Farnsworth (R), who was born in Mexico City, Mexico, while his father worked there for the American government, wants to see a wall built to blockade illegal immigrants from leaving his birth country and jumping over a fence to get into the nation in which he grew up.

There is a fence running intermittently along the Arizona-Mexico border, but Farnsworthtold PJM it isn’t nearly good enough.

Farnsworth is not alone in his displeasure with the fence. Some of the Republican’s more liberal fellow Arizonans don’t like the fence either, but for a different reason.

Liberals and illegal alien activists are bothered by the fact that so many illegal immigrants are breaking their legs and other bones when they fall off the fence while climbing over it from Sonora, Mexico, into Nogales, Arizona.

As of July, the Arizona Daily Star reported 37 migrants with busted legs, feet and spines had gone to the Mexican Consulate in Tucson after falling off the border fence. Fifty-six such injuries were reported in all of 2014.

A spokeswoman for a migrant shelter in Nogales said they were seeing 20 to 30 injured men and women a month.

“What surprises us is that people continue to jump from heights that can be the equivalent of a two- or even three-story house,” Fernando Valdez, Mexico’s deputy consul, said. “But we hear they feel pressured to do it because they are holding the line or they start insulting them, telling them to jump.”

Farnsworth doesn’t like to see anyone hurt, of course. But if they do fall off the fence, he would just as soon they bounce back to where they came from.

“The border is very porous and we in Arizona in particular have been severely damaged by that,” Farnsworth said. “The expense of illegal immigration is tremendous.”

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) put the cost to Arizona at $2.6 billion a year in 2012. A spokesman said that covered education, medical and incarceration costs.

The study released by FAIR also showed nearly half of all illegal border crossings into the U.S. from Mexico occur in Arizona. From 2001 to 2010, an average of 1,374 illegal aliens a day were apprehended in the Arizona border sector. FAIR said the Department of Homeland Security does not know how many illegal aliens successfully entered Arizona each day during that period.

Farnsworth admitted he had barely scanned Donald Trump’s plan to deal with illegal immigration that came out in mid-August. But overall, if Trump is elected, Farnsworth might say to him — please Mr. President, build that wall.

Trump doesn’t only want to build what would amount to a Great Wall of Border Security, he wants Mexico to pay for it.

Nice touch with the cross. Someone should teach the deported migrant the Ten Commandments. Especially these two-thou shalt not covet and thou shalt not steal.

All the good Catholics that are flooding our country like a hoard o locusts that the Church sponsors obviously were not taught the "Thou shall no covert" commandment

Exodus 20 2-17	Deuteronomy 5:6-21	A Traditional Catechetical Formula
I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.	I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.	1. I am the LORD your God: you shall not have strange Gods before me.
You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.	You shall have no other gods before me . . .
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.	You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain . . .	2. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and hallowed it.	Observe the sabbath day, to keep it holy . . .	3. Remember to keep holy the LORD'S Day.
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.	Honor your father and your mother . . .	4. Honor your father and your mother.
You shall not kill.	You shall not kill.	5. You shall not kill.
You shall not commit adultery.	Neither shall you commit adultery.	6. You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.	Neither shall you steal.	7. You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.	Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbor.	8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's.
