Hungary to Build Second Border Fence to Stop Migrants

Hungary is to start building a new fence on the Serbian border in the spring to hold back an expected new surge of migrants. Janos Lazar, Chief of Staff to Prime Minister Viktor Orban, said construction will begin as soon as the weather allows, amid fears hundreds of thousands of migrants could once again attempt to travel up through the Balkans in order to reach Western Europe.

AP reports the Hungarian government expects to spend around £104 million on the new fence, and will also set up shipping containers at key points along the border to help process any new arrivals. Asylum seekers will have to wait at these sites while their applications are processed.

Mr Lazar said the new fence would act as a “second line of defence”, and confirmed asylum seekers would not be free to roam to the country as happens in other European Union (EU) states.

Hungary has led Europe in protecting its borders amid the worse migrant crisis since the Second World War.

A second border fence and 3,000 new border security guards to patrol the fences, that is Hungary sealed up tight then!

It takes a leader with balls to do it, and Viktor is just that man!

I wonder if the Dems and RINOs (which is the same) wound call Hungarians racists? I bet they’ll blame Trump for giving Orban the idea...

>>Hungary has led Europe in protecting its borders amid the worse (sic) migrant crisis since the Second World War.<<

Europe is not experiencing a “migrant crisis”. It is experiencing a muslim invasion. Big difference.
