Clearly their betters haven't yet told them that fences don't work. Just throw the border wide open and don't worry 'bout who comes through...
The Bulgarian Cabinet ratified plans to build a 210-kilometer fence along the border it shares with Turkey, Hurriyet Daily News & Economic Review reported Thursday.
The Bulgarian government said that the fence aims to restrict the movement of cattle between the two countries, helping to prevent the spread of foot-and-mouth disease.
A Bulgarian minister said it was "extremely wrong" to compare the fence with the Berlin Wall, adding that the fence serves to purpose of solely limiting animal passage between the two countries.
Nothing to do with keeping stray Turks or those from further east or south from accidentally wandering across the border.

How bad was it to risk your life in relatively small wooden boats on a great ocean without keen knowledge of hurricanes, ice flows, and unkempt brigands, not to mention really unfriendly locals? Seems a whole lot of people played that game a couple of hundred years ago.
[Al Jazeera] Hundreds of Tunisian colonists have assembled in Rome's main train station waiting for trains to the French border - some of the thousands believed to be on the move towards La Belle France.
"Every day there are hundreds more arriving," said Dorsaf Yacoubi, 18, an Italian student volunteer of Tunisian origin who handed out ready-meals to the migrants from the back of a van as passing tourists and police watched on Thursday.
Numbers at Termini station shifted during the day as the Tunisians arrived on some trains and left on others but there were around 200 at lunchtime.
The migrants were given free train tickets by officials to take them to Ventimiglia - the Italian town on the border with La Belle France that has been at the centre of a diplomatic dispute between Italia and La Belle France in recent days.
Not all have tickets however.
"It's not the police that stop them. When they take trains, ticket inspectors come and because they don't have a ticket, they call the police," Saidi Maha, volunteer at Termini Station, told Al Jizz.
La Belle France has accused Italia of abusing Europe's visa-free border agreement Schengen by issuing temporary residence permits and travel documents to the migrants knowing that the French-speaking Tunisians are headed for La Belle France.
The free tickets are being provided by Italia's civil protection agency.
"Whenever homeless immigrants arrive at the station, they have to be taken immediately out of Rome," Rome mayor Gianni Alemanno said earlier.
"We will ensure that Rome doesn't become the end point of an uncontrolled wave of migration," he said.
More than 20,000 Tunisian migrants have arrived on Italian shores from Tunisia, complaining that the uprising that toppled president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in January has failed to bring economic progress to their homeland.

Hmmm. That is what used to be called a casus belli.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
