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.

    You shouldn’t close your borders until you have an alternative. Human lives are a first priority. Your income will be fine, EU is the richest region in the World. Most migrants can get a job as well and they are negligable addition to population of Europe that has more then a billion citizens. These are weak excuses for what is clearly classic anti-migrant racism.
