Estonia announced that the country may be forced to close its border crossing points with Russia due to increased migration pressures, Estonian Police and Border Guard announced on Feb. 13.

“In recent weeks, Russia has deliberately directed to the Estonian border groups of foreigners lacking the legal right to enter the European Union,” the statement reads. “If these activities continue, we will be forced to close border crossing points to protect national security and public order, as has already been done in Finland due to migration pressure.”

The Estonian government has noted an influx of migrants and asylum seekers from Russia over recent months.

    Why mention that you dont have the resources if you are not pretending that you would be for helping them if you could. It is just an excuse to try and hide the fact that you care more about one population then another simply on the basis on their nationality. I hope you understand how racist that is. Not that I accept the notion that civilian unarmed refugees are somehow a threat to the Schengen zone and a “National security”, which is most common anti-imigrant rethoric, but how is that ever a higher priority then lives of an entire nation of civilans.

    “there’s more to consider than the lives of these refugees or any that would follow” of course, comfort and stolen wealth of the EU is top priority, Lives of human beings are always secondary to profit.

    “Just out of curiosity, where are you from?” I know better then to tell a racist where I am from, so they can somehow make assumtions based on my nationality.
