The Hungarians are responding to a record-breaking wave of “migrants” from the war zones of the post-Obama Middle East by constructing one of those border fences that’s supposed to be impossibly expensive and ineffective. According to the Associated Press, the fence will be up to 13 feet high, rising behind three layers of razor wire, ranging along the 109-mile border with Serbia through which migrant populations have been pouring.
About 140,000 migrants have trooped through Hungary so far this year – over three times as many as they handled in all of 2014, according to the AP, and it’s only August. Monday saw 2,093 migrants detained by Hungarian police in a single day, well above the astounding daily average of 1,493. Another ten thousand poured over the Macedonian border over the weekend, with a fresh thousand camped in Serbia and preparing to move across the Hungarian border. Macedonia, in turn, has seen over 43,000 migrants in just the past two months.
After imposing the cost of their presence upon the Hungarians, most of this migratory population presses on to the greener pastures of “richer European Union countries like Germany or the Netherlands before their claims are settled.” Among other things, this has produced a massive security and humanitarian crisis along the English Channel, as migrants strive to make the final push from France into the lavish welfare state of Britain.

In fact, border enforcement of any kind will never work, and is racist besides.
Could we maybe get them to sub contract out to do one for us. Even though we KNOW it will never work. :>} Didn’t someone post a pictorial about what their barrier would look like? Or was it what our barrier SHOULD look like.
Those ‘ineffective’ fences worked pretty well for the Russians for 50 years, didn’t they?
A wall most certainly will not work. That's why maximum security prisons don't have walls. It would just be a waste of money.
Liberals sure are dumb.
Works for Israel don’t it?
I am sick to death of politicians saying “WE CAN’T DO THAT”
These target countries already know that it it really, really stupid to import Mid-East migrants whose preferred culture is not and never will be our own.

Yep, I remember in the cold war, all those Germans just leaned their ladders up against the wall and hopped over. It never stopped anyone.
hmmmmmm ...
triple row of concertina wire, with cans hanging all in it ....
reminds me of many, many moons ago, in another time and place.
I hope they have the will to gun down the invaders. That is harsh, I know, but it will come to that.
Or else!
Agree! However the ranchers and farmers who own the land in Texas that would be needed will have to be paid very well.
Ann Coulter has labeled it ...the Great Wall of Trump!
