Molly Jong-Fast bemoans ‘cruelty’ of Trump’s border wall working as a deterrent to illegal entry

Personal responsibility and adherence to the law were evidently concepts totally overlooked by one left-wing writer who concluded the purposed of the U.S. – Mexico border wall is “cruelty” on account of an increase in fall victim’s since former President Donald Trump pushed for a higher barrier.

The Washington Post released a story Friday meant to expose the danger of the newer 30-foot segments of the border wall as trauma wards in border towns have seen an uptick in patients with injuries made in attempting to surmount the obstacle. Since 2019, the Post reported a fivefold increase, amounting to 375 patients, at the University of California San Diego Medical Center’s trauma ward alone.

As Jay Doucet, the chief of UC San Diego Health’s trauma division pointed out, “Once you go over 20 feet, and up to 30 feet, the chance of sever injury and death are higher. We’re seeing injuries we didn’t see before: pelvic fractures, spinal cord injuries, brain injuries and a lot of open fractures when the bone comes through the skin.”

The Atlantic’s Molly Jong-Fast didn’t quite comprehend that the risk of those injuries was part of point in designing a wall that high as it is meant to deter migrants from attempting to illegally enter the country. Instead, she contends, “I was told the cruelty is the point and that certainly seems true here.”

Having previously missed the point of the uniquely American holiday Thanksgiving, arguing it was not, as the name implies, a time to give thanks with loved ones but rather a perfect opportunity to seek to “deprogram” your conservative relatives, it doesn’t take much of a leap to see why she might struggle with a concept like national sovereignty.

Let’s face it, she did admit in that piece that she claimed was “a humor piece”, “I’m no statistician–in fact I’m barely able to add and subtract,” so higher level concepts like the rule of law may be truly confounding. Thankfully, there were plenty of thoughtful citizens more than willing to help Jong-Fast and her ilk understand how to arrive at a logical conclusion.

Of course, Jong-Fast’s argument about cruelty was further nullified by the basic facts laid out in the Post’s article from the get-go. If that were the point, there would not have been 375 patients brought to UC San Diego for care and treatment. Not only would they have been turned away, if they ever made it to the hospital at all, they would have been left crippled at the base of the wall.

As one Twitter user wrote, “They are morons to attempt to climb a 30-foot wall built to keep them out. The fact that this is America means we take them to a trauma center rather than leave them to die.”

Whether it is believed the wall should be electrified or include a moat filled with dangerous reptiles and sharks with lasers on their heads, the point is still deterrence as laws go ignored.

  1. The incredible naïveté and ignorance of the leftist morons who identify with the invaders, sucks the oxygen =out of the room.

  2. Brooklyn, didn’t anybody tell you to keep your mouth shut about your income??? Especially when you are an online hooker! Get tested for God’s sake girl before you spread STD’s all over.

  3. Why would we give sympathy to IDIOTS who break the law of the United States by ILLEGALLY entering our country??? May they break as many bones as they like and still end up in jail and DEPORTED!!!

  4. Make the wall higher. Electrify it. Do what is needed to keep criminals out of our country. If this useless administration had not supported open borders and actually followed the laws of this country we wouldn’t have a problem. But Dems love criminals and love breaking the law. When the president takes the oath of office he swears to defend this country, something this president has not done at all since day one.

  5. I’m all for landmines, barbed wire and machine guns but Trump’s wall is a good start!

    1. A moat full of alligators where the wall isn’t completed, would be a nice addition, or FILL the Rio Grande with alligators. There ya go! The moat is already there waiting for the gators!!!

  6. I completely agree. If you look at the world there are about 7 BILLION people on it. In any country there’s probably 50% of the population who feel downtrodden. Those 50%, 3.5 BILLION people, probably all want to come to America, land of the free, etc. Now Joey opened the border, by refusing to enforce the immigration laws HE wrote during his 50 of having his face in the government trough , so soon we will have a population greater than Chin, India and Europe combined. Get ready to welcome lots of new neighbors. Just be glad we are able to help half the population of this rock we call home. That’s the American spirit!!!

  7. Molly Jong-Fast can go to a quiet room and cry all she wants. What this idiot needs is a civics class and how illegal immigration is disrupting our country. Maybe she could go back and watch old videos of democrats warning about illegals. Don’t commit a CRIME and try to illegally invade America and you won’t get hurt. Too bad the river that separates the country isn’t deeper and faster. The next thing that needs to be done is find a good place along the river in order to target practice with M-60s. Probably need tracer rounds for night practice too. FJB.

    1. Time to dredge the Rio Grande so it’s 10 feet deeper. Then, fill it with gators & Burmese pythons. There! I saved taxpayers $ BILLIONS!!!!!!

  8. Best thing to do with the wall would be to emulate what they did in the Middle Ages – hang the bodies of dead illegals upside down on the Mexico side of the wall.

  9. IF the LEFT and the turnip would STOP ENCOURAGING people to come here ILLEGALLY then they MIGHT RESPECT Our NATION and Our LAWS, but since the LEFT and the turnip don’t seem to RESPECT Our NATION and Our LAWS, we’ll continue to see these injuries so BLAME THE LEFT and the turnip!
