They are fussing with Belarus some.
-Lithuania, which has backed and granted refuge to Belarus opposition figures, accuses its neighbor of organizing the border crossings by people mainly from Iraq, the Middle East and Africa.
The double, barbed wire fence will run for 550 kilometers (342 miles), covering most of the nearly 680-kilometer (423-mile) frontier. It will cost 41 million euros ($48 million), according to Lithuanian Interior Minister Agne Bilotaite.
In the past two months, more than 1,500 people have crossed into Lithuania 20 times more than in the whole of 2020.-
Fifteen hundred in two months is shocking. How about 50,000 apprehended in the U.S. last month. I didn't see any numbers about how many were returned.
