Disgusting. 1000% increaase in falls on the higher border walls.
Falls From Higher Border Walls Overwhelm Trauma Services
— San Diego surgeons blame higher walls for 1,000% rise in admissions, more severe injuries, deaths
Oh.. I have a solution. Not climb the walls? Completley crazy idea, I know.

1. Why not cross at the official ports of entry, instead of trying to climb a 30 foot wall?
Evidently those folks like a challenge.

2. I never understood that.
We have many port of entry that are safe and welcoming. Why go the dangerous route?
The way I see it, the Border isnt supposed to be Safe and Welcoming. It should be Safe in regards to the Country that it protects. As for Welcoming. No. It should be all business. Are you coming here legally? Ok. Otherwise, turn around.

3. Because not everyone who passed the border will pass the asylum laws.
If they believe they don't have a good reason to get asylum, they are better off risking it and enter without any law enforcement knowing.
We call that "coming here illegally".
