Between October of 2023 an January of 2024, Border Patrol agents encountered over 120,000 migrants in the San Diego sector. Combined with the Trump administration’s decision to increase the height of the border wall from 17 to 30 feet, it should come as no surprise that there has there has been a huge uptick in the number of people sustaining injuries after attempting to scale the wall and then falling off. The county reports that already this month, it has transported 18 migrants with fall-related injuries to area hospitals. “What does the government expect?” asks OSHA Department of Migrant Protection head Natasha Trigger-Warning. “People not to climb? Honestly, if they didn’t want people to climb the wall, they shouldn’t have built it. Anyone would think we didn’t welcome migrants into this country. But what’s really outrageous is that in many places, there are no warning signs indicating that falling is even a danger. And until very recently, what signs we did have were solely in English. It’s the worst kind of xenophobia, and it creates an obvious safety hazard. We are opening channels for the injured migrants to sue the United States Government, and we hope their almost certain victory in court will be a lesson to governments around the world. And don’t even get me started on the drownings.” A recent report from the Times of San Diego indicates that since the border wall height in the San Diego region was raised, there has been a 3200% increase in migrant deaths off the city’s coast.
