Rattlesnake bite lands immigrant in hospital

Got more than they bargained for sneaking across the border this time. This should cause people to think more of the rattlers, after all they are doing their part to combat illegal immigration too. Have to say I like the rattler's solution better than what the government is doing about it.

A rattlesnake bit an undocumented immigrant, who had to be airlifted Thursday night for treatment at El Paso's Thomason Hospital, Border Patrol officials said.

The bite occurred as two men crossed the border about eight miles east of Columbus, N.M. The men made it to a ranch, where Luna County sheriff's deputies and Border Patrol were called.

The injured man, who is recovering, was taken to Mimbres Memorial Hospital in Deming and then airlifted to El Paso.

I'm all for this feller getting treatment and help, but on the flip side, isn't it nice to know that we CITIZENS are going to get stuck with his bill, I had a friend who got bit by a rattler, his bills total more than 80k, and that's without a helicopter ride!!! Time to do what China did and put up a 4000 mile wall!!

I agree with Justin, this illegal isn't in this country for more than a day, and already we are paying anywhere from 30k to 80k to save the "illegals life". I love to see my money spent on something like this, when there are people in this country that can't even buy bread for dinner. Lets let them all in.
