Concern over proposed Greek border fence

From CNN.com (Jan. 4):

Athens, Greece (CNN) -- Greece's decision to build a 12-kilometer (7.5-mile) fence along its border with Turkey in a bid to curb illegal immigration has caused mixed reactions, with humanitarian agencies saying the fence could prevent asylum seekers from reaching safety.

Greek Public Order Minister Christos Papoutsis announced the decision, saying "action is necessary" because more than 100,000 people have entered Greece illegally in the past year, and the country "can no longer tolerate such high numbers."

The European Union border control agency Frontex has said that in October 2010, an average of 245 people per day crossed into Greece illegally, mostly from the overland crossing with Turkey in northeastern Greece. That's where the proposed fence is to be built. [read more]

What? Greece doesn’t believe in open borders? Someone alert George Soros. The Communists in Greece are upset about the fence. Well, they are upset because if countries put up fences then that kind of ruins the New World Order plan.

As a side note Turkey’s population is 99% Muslim while Greece’s population is 98% Christian (Greek Orthodox).  If I was a Leftist I would think that Greece had Islamophobia and that’s why they are building the fence.

Then again Greece’s “freedom” ranking is much higher than Turkey’s freedom ranking.  Could that explain the mass migration to Greece? Just a thought.
