Kudos to Lithuanian leaders. Lithuania is a tiny country which has stood up for its citizens, amid serious globalist bullying. The term “border of democracy” perfectly describes what all Western countries faced with illegal border entries should have erected years ago to protect their citizens. No reasonable person has historically opposed responsible immigration and refugee assistance, but open-borders mass migration is a different phenomenon that strips immigrants of all responsibility to their new country. Such a system provides a free-for-all opportunity for jihadists and the worst criminals. Yet such policies have been advocated by globalists who are enabling the red/green axis of Marxists and Islamic supremacists.
Meanwhile, law-abiding citizens of the West are forced to adhere to a different set of rules, including strict border controls, especially during the coronavirus lockdowns. Lithuanian leaders have exposed the character of Western leaders who have failed to act to protect their country’s best interests, even some who call themselves conservatives, such as UK’s Boris Johnson government.
“Exclusive: ‘Border of Democracy’ – Lithuanian MP on Why Country Is Building a Wall to Stop Illegals,” by Kurt Zindulka, Breitbart, August 15, 2021:
A Lithuanian MP has told Breitbart News that her country will stand firm in protecting the “border of democracy” as Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko continues to attempt to weaponise illegal migration against the European Union.
This week, the parliament in Lithuania declared a “state-level extreme situation” in regards to the growing migrant crisis, in which some 4,000 illegal aliens — mostly from Iraq — have crossed the border between Belarus and the small EU member-state.
The Lukashenko regime has been accused of actively facilitating migrants from Africa and the Middle East crossing the border, with many seeing it as a response to the EU sanctions imposed on the former Soviet bloc nation in June.
In response, the Lithuanian parliament voted in favour of erecting a border fence with Belarus this week.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart London, Lithuanian MP Dovilė Šakalienė said: “We are not living in one big state, there are states and there are borders.”
“We have to protect ourselves because this is the border of democracy. Our eastern border is the end of the EU and the end of democracy,” she said.
Šakalienė said that the scale of illegal migration into Lithuania, which has increased fifty-fold over 2020, with some 4,000 illegal migrants crossing the border, demonstrates that “this is not a natural migration”.
“Through surveillance, we see that the Belarusian border force is actively assisting migrants to come to the Lithuanian border,” she said, backing up claims from the European Union’s border agency, Frontex, which claimed to have drone footage proving Lukashenko’s regime has been facilitating the illegal crossings of the border.
Poland, another EU member-state bordering Lithuania and Belarus, has also seen record border crossings from the latter in recent days, mostly of Afghans and Iraqis.
Following the sanctions imposed on Belarus by the European Union after Minsk used a warplane to force a Ryanair flight to Lithuania to land in the country to arrest a prominent critic of the government, the Lukashenko regime has been accused of flying in migrants from Iraq in order to flood the border.
Šakalienė said that “so-called tourism agencies” in Iraq have been advertising “European excursions” for thousands of dollars per migrant, promoting the “lie” from Lukashenko that there is no border between Belarus and Lithuania.
“When these people come, they are in a mousetrap because of course our border is secure and they cannot pass. It’s easier for migrants to understand what’s going on if there is a border fence, that it was deceit, they were defrauded by Lukashenko’s regime that there are no walls and that they can enter the European Union.”….

Lithuania is already inundated by poverty and joblessness. Young Lithuanians are fleeing to Europe to seek employment. Unlike the United States where taxpayer dollars are seemingly limitless (according to those in power), Lithuania is unable to support the infrastructure demands (health care, education, employment, etc) to a population grabbing for as many government handouts as they are able to receive.
Walter Sieruk says
Building a border wall for protection is avery good idea..The government heads of Lithuania must be intelligent.
By contrast, that feeble -minded old goat who masquerades as the President of the USA . ,Impostor “president ” Joe Biden so not only unintelligent but treasonous.
PMK says
It’s not all Biden’s fault. We’ve been hearing for decades from media, government officials and activists that ‘walls don’t work’.
Kepha says
I got to walk on the original “keep ’em out” wall at Mutianyu in China. I was young and vigorous at the time, and my older son was only seven. Had I been a scofflaw, I could’ve had him climb up on my shoulders, and he would’ve been able to climb over. Imagine who easy it must’ve been for some young and strong men of Xiongnu, Tuoba, Khitan, Jurchid, Manchu, Japanese, or Manchurian-based Chinese Communists back in the day. While I voted for Trump, I was critical of his plan to build a wall for precisely this reason. The better policy would’ve been Poland’s, to send troops or beef up the Border Patrol.
As for Lithuanian, I understand all three of the Baltic States were subject to influxes of Russian, Ukrainian, and belarusian settlers during the Soviet period. Hence, I cannot blame them at all for wanting to hold back new migrant waves. Back when Lithuania and Poland were joined, they had to deal with the raids of the Islamic Crimean Khanate and Ottomans.
I’m not a fan of hyper-nationalism of the ethnic variety, since I’m too much of a checkered ethnic heritage (american Mongreloid). However, the unwillingness of Western elites to face up to the threats posed by Islam is inexcusable.

BULLSHIT

Manuele, PMK is being sarcastic.
Infidel says
Lukashenko’s regime won’t last forever, and Belarus will find itself in a lot of trouble when it can no longer keep in whoever they’re trying to leak into the EU
How many muslims are there using this route? Only ones I can think of are native Lipka Tatars, and maybe immigrants from the -stans – like Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan
