Well shit, Poland doesn't fuck around either with their border and bad actors. You think they might be on to something?

Those people in Latvia didn't check with you before building a border fence?

No.

There have been repeated attempts to saw through sections of the fence. Brigadier General Robert Bagan, the commander-in-chief of the Polish Border Guard, picked up a small thin saw that had been confiscated at the border and explained that if larger battery-operated devices were used, the fence could be cut in six to eight minutes.

Last year, almost 30,000 people tried to cross the border into Poland from Belarus, despite the ongoing modernization of the barriers and fences.

A border fence is just one layer of deterrence. It is meant to slowdown attempted illegal entry so border guards can intercept.

But all the more power to you if you think you know more than the Finland, Poland and Latvia governments and how to control their borders.

But they don’t control their border any better than they did before. You think border crossings are down because of X policy without understanding the many reasons why border crossings fluctuate in the first place. It’s a feel good solution for idiots with zero critical thinking skills. It’s why you use logical fallacies like appealing to authority because it’s a shortcut to actually looking into the problem and the solutions that are offered.

What specific metrics are you looking at to make that determination?

Interesting. So you want me to answer a question you couldn’t bother answering, let alone asking yourself, when you made the claim that because other countries are doing it that must mean it works.

You are claiming they don't work, so you must have some metric you have looked at to make that determination, right?
