The Communists very well guarded their Iron Curtain - the borders between states. Some of those of us who remember this, call refugees criminals whom we are supposed to shoot, as the Communists shot people climbing across the border wall in Berlin. These compatriots educated by the Communists are right in the understanding of the laws of physics - the walls and the wire cannot detain people without shooting. However, communist laws ended in Lithuania together with the communist government.
"EU and international law obliges countries to let people in to request asylum, so Latvia's, Lithuania's and Poland's pushbacks are illegal; some migrants have already died of exposure. The Poles have refused help from Frontex, the EU's border agency, which can evaluate asylum claims fast. Marcin Przydacz, a deputy foreign minister, notes that few migrants apply for asylum in Poland; they want to get to Germany. Western officials hope to press Belarus to let UN agencies and NGOs offer humanitarian aid to the migrants there. Letting them cross might encourage more to come and reward the propaganda strategy of Mr Lukashenko." [1]
