FYROM [Macedonia] border tension peaks as fence erected
Ekathimerini ^ | 28 November 2015

Tensions peaked at Greece’s border with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia over the weekend after the FYROM army started building a border fence to keep out would-be migrants.

FYROM border guards were photographed by foreign news agencies as they erected a 2.5-meter-high fence along the Greek border on Saturday.

A FYROM army source quoted by Agence France-Presse said the crossing from Greece to FYROM would remain open and that the fence was aimed at ensuring migrants did not try to slip across at other spots.

FYROM authorities had indicated in recent weeks that they might build a fence to limit the number of migrants pouring into their country from Greece and border guards recently started filtering the migrants they allow through, granting entry only to people from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result, hundreds of migrants from other countries, including Iran and Pakistan, have gathered in and around the Greek border town of Idomeni, protesting and demanding passage.

A manned Fence!

Can be built and staffed quickly.

Turns out to be quite functional.

Somebody tell Ditch and Paul Ryno.....

FOOLS!

They must not know that fences don’t work.

Except around the White House.

And the palatial estates of wealthy liberals.

How cruel these euros can be. Don’t they realize that tens of thousands of three year old “refugees “ are now stacked-up like cord wood on the other side?

The fences keep moving south.

Soon all the "Syrian Refugees" will be bottled up in Turkey.

And the Turks can live in the squalid hell they created.
