I wouldn’t say it’s a fictional threat. The people are being trafficked to the Finland-Russia border by some actor in Russia. And Russia also simultaneously happens to change their policy of not allowing people without full documentation to pass the Russia-Finland border on their side and instead lets them through. It’s fishy.
It’s the xenophobia and reactions based on that which are totally useless. Illegal immigrants eventually show up somewhere inside a country whether or not there’s a wall and whether or not the politicians attempt to make a hard line. Police will encounter them eventually and they can take them to the immigration offices for clarification of their status.
Patroling is necessary and domestic police needs to be on top of their job to handle it. It’s a job for policemen and border patrols. It’s not a job for politicians and it’s not necessary for ordinary citizens to be afraid of immigrants. However, certain politicians enjoy getting more votes from scared people, even if their hard line solutions don’t work and their fear mongering only makes the situation worse.
I’m absolutely certain that the Finnish border control can handle this better without an expensive physical wall and without having a population living in artificial fear.
