| Injured migrants say Border Patrol sent them back to Mexico after they fell off Trump's wall | |
| 2021-02-15 | |
Thousands of miles south, Jhon Jairo Ushca Alcoser, too, left his country, Ecuador, fleeing political unrest and the economic fallout of a global pandemic that’s ravaged his nation. For both men, it seemed as if nothing would stand in the way of their cherished dream — certainly not deserts, rivers, unscrupulous smugglers, or the infamous wall they had heard so much about. But then that same wall nearly crippled them. And they say the migra -- the U.S. Border Patrol -- then "dumped us in Mexico like garbage, a piece of trash," said Pedro Gomez, 37. They say agents who discovered them injured sent them back across the border rather than providing them medical care on American soil. And you were gonna pay for the care? No? Oh...the American taxpayers would?. Fuck off "When I fell off the wall, my dream crashed too," said Ushca Alcoser, 25, who this week shared his story from a bunk bed a few feet away from Gomez, inside a migrant shelter in this desolate border town across from Columbus, New Mexico. Ushca Alcoser said his complaints to agents of his pain "fell on deaf ears." The men’s perilous journey underscores the rising desperation among immigrants in trying to cross into the United States, immigrant rights advocates say, and raises questions about the protocols used by the Border Patrol to treat injured migrants and the overall effectiveness of the border wall. | |

| #5 Let me guess. They tried to climb the wall on the Mexico side and fell off - back into the Mexico side and brused themselves. But since their fingertips brushed the American side thru the slats of the wall... |

| #2 in this desolate border town across from Columbus, New Mexico Having been through Columbus once, Puerto Palomas can't be that much worse. At least PP has a small hospital, a Del Rio store and Sushi restaurant. |
