In 2015, Hungary received nearly 1,800 asylum applications from migrants per 100,000 people in the local population, according to BBC News, which is the most of any European nation during the refugee crisis last year. Last summer, Hungary told the European Union it would stop accepting migrants.

Hungary serves as a stepping stone on the path from southeastern Europe to central and western European countries such as Germany, France and the United Kingdom. Many Hungarian nationals have been irked by the influx of migrants, and Hungary built its first barbed wire fence — 13-feet tall and 110 miles long — along its southern border with Serbia.

The second fence will run alongside the first, which was a form of reinforcement to more effectively keep migrants out.

Run a large herd of pigs between the fences. Overfeed to promote a significant fecal barrier.

Or underfeed. If pigs are hungry enough, they will eat literally anything.
