Trauma nurse at Texas border town visited by Kamala Harris reveals her hospital is full of migrants suffering broken legs, smashed spines and shattered hips
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Miriam Torres – who works at El Paso's University Medical Center - told DailyMail.com that half her 30 beds are regularly taken by the migrants

  • She said many of them are suffering broken legs, smashed spines and shattered hips due to falling off the border wall as they attempt to cross into the U.S.
    Those kinds of hip and spine injuries have life long impacts on functionality, I imagine.
  • Torres said the hospital is so desperate for space that it is now issuing contracts to care homes to take in the injured migrants during their treatment

  • 'Doctors come in now and just label the patients' charts BWF, standing for border wall fall. It's that routine these days. But it is putting a great strain on the unit'

  • She added: 'When Joe Biden took office, almost immediately we started to see the numbers increasing. It has been overwhelming at times'

  • Vice President Kamala Harris landed in El Paso to visit a border patrol facility on Friday following months of backlash

#2 ^ more like proof it needs to be made higher so we don't have to pay medical bills when they kill themselves falling from 40 feet

#3 Makes it hard to run away from the Border Patrol. Given their orders are not to detain, just leave them there at the wall for the natural coyotes. Fauna got to eat too.
