NEAR MALKO TARNOVO, Bulgaria — Figures in camouflage and ski masks gather at a fishing lodge. Many are armed with long knives, bayonets and hatchets.
The 35 men and women are on the hunt in Strandzha Massif, a forested mountain range on Bulgaria's border with Turkey. Migrants trying to cross into Europe are their prey.
Patches on their irregular uniforms — a coat of arms bearing a snarling wolf's head framed by Cyrillic text — proclaim them to be members of the Bulgarian National Movement Shipka, abbreviated in Bulgarian as "BNO Shipka."
Members of the paramilitary organization form into ranks as their leader, Vladimir Rusev, speaks. A former colonel who says he fought in Chechnya as a volunteer alongside Russians, Rusev declares his support for a man they admire: President Donald Trump.
"The CIA is trying to undermine Trump," said Rusev, a compact 58-year-old with a neat mustache and short-cropped hair. "They want to destroy him. We offer our support to him."
Trump's hard-line stance on immigration and vocal criticism of Islam finds an appreciative audience here.

I spoke with a Bulgarian expat recently who told me that country is facing MAJOR issues with illegal immigration. Mostly from Muslim lands.
For so many centuries people only wanted to LEAVE Bulgaria. Now that people are coming IN illegally no one really seems to know how to react to that.
Fertilize their corn fields and be quiet about it.
Looks to me like the problem here is Turkey.
Triple-S country over there?
turkey under their leadership is sending more and more muslims into Europe to make Europe a muslim continent.
Turkey should be thrown out of NATO, never allowed in the EU, infact disband the EU, and send all the Turks back him
MIGRANTS??? Keep OUT!!! Tell the LIBS
Not the first time Bulgaria being invaded by Turks...
From the article: “Many are armed with long knives, bayonets and hatchets.”
Sad, so sad. In this country we’d be armed with high powered rifles and pistols at the very least.
I am shocked, utterly shocked, how can Turkey violate these Muslim’s human rights?
They are turning a blind eye to the dangers these migrants face in crossing their borders into Bulgaria!
They need to stop them immediately. Close the border!
“Bulgarian Patriots patrol border to keep Muslims invaders out”
Bulgaria is mainly a transit country as the immigrants are heading for western Europe.
NONE of the muslims wants to live where welfare payments are merely moderate.
muslims want SWEDEN at best, or GERMANY at worst. Why work?
