WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Poland plans to build a fence along its border with Belarus and deploy more soldiers there to stop migrants seeking to enter the European Union nation.
The government on Monday also offered to send humanitarian aid to a group stuck at the border for more than two weeks.
Poland and the three Baltic states — Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia — accuse Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of sending migrants — most apparently from Afghanistan and Iraq — across their borders, which are also the EU’s external border, in what they call a “hybrid war.”
All four EU nations believe the surge in migrants is Minsk’s revenge for supporting EU sanctions against the autocratic regime in Belarus.
“Using immigrants to destabilize neighboring countries constitutes a clear breach of the international law and qualifies as a hybrid attack against ... Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and thus against the entire European Union,” they said in a joint statement Monday, urging the United Nations to look into the situation.
In response to the migrants’ arrival, the Polish government last week said it had deployed over 900 soldiers to the border with Belarus and was reinforcing the border with 150 kilometers (93 miles) of barbed wire. On Monday, Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said more soldiers would be sent and that a fence 2.5 meters (8 feet) tall would be erected on the border.

Wouldn’t it be more cost effective to just assassinate these Muslims leaders and kill their families? Sorry you were born in a crap hole country, but its time we start focusing drones on killing leaders to stop this “will the last muslim out of your country, chain up your camel” policy.
My Polak dad once said:”When they start acting like they own the place that’s when you throw them out”.
Poland’s leaders do not want their country over run with foreigners, unlike the leaders of the USA.
This is an act of war by Belarus.
Really? When the millions of the same migrants came through Italy and Greece their authorities has been scolded and canceled for trying to block the poor souls from entering EU.
Now, a few hundred entered from Belarus and it is the end of the World for some reason.
What Belarus should do about it? It has migrants coming who are not planning to stay.
The problem for Poland and Lithuania is that they declared Belarus an illegal dictatorship.
It means that everybody coming from there can’t be returned because it is legally unsafe.
Based on their own propaganda they need to grant all the migrants asylum or the entire EU needs to admit to hypocrisy.
Walls don’t work and neither do fences. Build bridges not walls or fences.
