A man was found seriously injured behind the Gran Plaza Outlet Mall Sunday night after he fell off the border wall.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents found him around 9 p.m.

CBP quickly called paramedics and started providing first aid.

The man fractured both of his femurs and may have a back injury, CBP said.

CBP had him air-lifted to a medical center in Palm Springs.

The new International Border Wall stands 30 feet tall in this area. (Picture at link.)

CBP said the man was trying to enter the country illegally.

Hand him over to Mexican EMT's!!!

Stabilize and let Mexico foot the bill!

Put a big roller on the WALL, grease it up and roll it one-way back to Mexico. Let them fall on their damn side!

BOOT HIM OUT OF HERE! NO HOSPITAL CARE PAID BY U.S. TAXPAYERS!

See, walls do work!

Definitely slows them down!

Do not want to pay for long term care...get him OUT of here ASAP.

It would be interesting to learn exactly how much money has been spent on airlift's and medical for these illegals just in the last month alone.

Damn, he fell on the wrong side of the fence!

That is why they need a big drum roller on top, grease it up and it rolls one-way back on Mexican side!

I just read an article today that the U.S pays medical fees for people injured at border.

Man trying to enter U.S. illegally breaks both legs falling from 30-foot border wall in California

A man attempting to enter the United States illegally was severely injured on Sunday evening after he fell from a 30-foot border wall located near Calexico, California.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced the incident Monday, saying the man fractured both legs and possibly injured his back.

After border patrol agents found the injured man, paramedics and fire department personnel were sent to the scene, CBP said. The man was taken by helicopter to a hospital in Palm Springs.

Security footage of the incident posted to Twitter by U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows a figure falling from the wall and remaining motionless after impact.

The man was not identified by CBP in the release.

The U.S. government usually pays medical bills for people injured crossing the border illegally, before deporting them after they recover, said Border Patrol spokesman Carlos Pitones.
