Migrants Fleeing Hungary Start a Long March Toward Germany
The New York Times ^ | 04 Sept 2015 | Dan Bilefsky

Haggard and defiant, a large number of migrants marched from the Keleti train station in Budapest toward Germany on Friday, pledging to walk 300 miles rather than remain in a country where they are not welcome.

“This is going to go down in history,” said Rami Hassoun, an Egyptian migrant from Alexandria who was helping corral the crowds on a six-lane highway, where the migrants were being watched by the police.

The police put the number of migrants who were walking at 500, but photographs from the scene and eyewitness accounts suggested the figure was at least twice that.

Other migrants remained locked in a tense standoff with the police at the Bicske station outside Budapest, while more stormed out of a camp in the country’s south, highlighting the desperation of migrants determined to flee Hungary.

The mayhem there reflected the divisions in Europe over how to respond to the migration crisis: Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain, who has been reluctant to admit more migrants, said on Friday that his country would take in thousands more Syrians, while Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary said that migrants could turn Europeans into a minority on their own continent and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey said that Europe was responsible for every migrant death.

F-— You Erdogan! Turkey is a rich country, and you do squat for your fellow Muslims and foist them on the West in order to expand the Caliphate. Europe should force all of the Muslim refugees back to Turkey and let them take care of them.

I wonder if all of this “migration” in Europe as well as here is being coordinated to bring down America and Western Europe.

Put them on trains straight for Turkey, then. They can have them all.

This recent influx is just a sped up version that has been happening for years.

Pretty amazing that we actually get to watch the decline and fall of the European Union on TV, in real time. Amazing.

That looks like enough people to make a fighting division. Have these people all over the planet ever heard of sacrifice and fighting for what they oppose, instead of running away?

I don't know about coordinated, but I'm quite sure that Obama relishes the idea of Europe rapidly becoming less white and more Muslim.

He no doubt want in the this action. Look for charter USG sponsored charter flights to the USA soon of these Syrian men (they're almost all men) -- "to help share the burden".

Obama will do it without any legal basis, but under the basis of some vague "executive discretion". The GOP congress will stamp their feet before the cameras, but do nothing.

The problem that needs fixing occurs where the immigrants are coming from, not where they are going to. Europe has every right to say NO.

0dungo’s plan to expand the Caliphate into Europe is taking shape just as planned. The U.S. could’ve stopped this madness by exerting force on ISIS in the Middle East.

99.9% young single men

So why does Big Media continue to portray the migrants as “families”?

How soon before most of these Muslims start building Mosques and demanding Sharia Law? Europe is slitting her own throat and she doesn’t even realize it.

Honestly, given the chance to take a easy apple like a European country or stand and overthrow a Islamic regime where you live, it seems like a easy choice to head to the welfare regime.

Well, the GOP certainly helped him out with that one. I wouldn’t give him all the credit.

Damn straight, it's going to go down in history that at least one country remembers the past and has the balls to defend it's borders against muslim invaders.
