Finland has every right in the world to control their border against invasion by Russian-weaponized Muslims.

As a member of NATO, Finland needs to get with the program. They need to accept these migrants to enrich their culture and all it lacks.

The Finns don't harbor any illusions regarding Russia, whether in its Tsarist, Stalinist, or current regimes.

The most telling thing is that Russia, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Zimbabwe, etc., are never the destinations of people seeking religious liberty, economic prosperity, or anything else.

Finland has a great idea—if we pretend all the illegal aliens are those evil Russkies we might actually defend our border!

This is a delightful “European Union” development, because when tiny Finland wants to stop migrants, it's praised in the press, deemed legal because “Russia, Russia.” But when Hungary wants to stop migrants, it's prejudiced and called out by the same press as illegal. See how that works? Double standards can be so fun.... Without double standards, the EU wouldn't have any at all.

Some 300 asylum seekers, mostly from Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and Syria, have arrived been pushed into Finland by Russia this week.

Looks like an act of war against the Finns.

Who does Finland think it is - Israel ?

They are a member of NATO, and they need to open the border like all loyal NATO countries are required to do.

Because they’re coming from Russia and not other EU states? Poland and Hungary are getting a bunch of crap from the EU for doing the same as Finland.

How many immigrants (legal or not) to the U.S. or Europe in the last 20+ years came here seeking religious liberty or economic prosperity, and how many of them are seeking government handouts?
