In the last centuries of Roman Empire they built so-called "limes" - the lines of defense on the borders. But this defensive system failed to help them against barbarians when it turned out that there were no effective soldiers to man the limes. It was the time when libertarians thrived and soldiers were not respected. Today we see the same in Europe again with only one but substantial difference: in the times of Great Transmigration the majority of invaders were the same Europeans (Germanic tribes mainly). Today the newcomers have different ancestry, language and religion. You may welcome them as Merkel does but sooner or later it will backfire.
By the way, winter comes, soon there'll be a break.
