Hungary has sealed its frontier with Serbia, using a 110-mile long fence lined with layers of razor wire and units of army and police. Now hundreds of migrants—mostly Syrians, Iraqis, Afghanis and Pakistanis—wait at the Horgos border crossing in Serbia, hoping to be let in. Today, clashes erupted there between the refugees, who threw rocks and burning tires, and police who lobbed tear gas and sprayed water cannons on the crowd.

Migrants fear they have nowhere to go as Hungary and Serbia crack down on the movement of refugees

Refugees Crowd at the Gates of Fortress Europe This Syrian Refugee Wants to Swim to Europe

In a small Serbian town, three young Iraqis wait at a bus stop next to a small park.

“We are going to Croatia,” says Alaa Kamal, who hails from Baghdad. Over the summer, this park in the center of Kanijza, which is just a few kilometers from the Hungarian border, served as a gathering point for refugees attempting to cross the frontier. Groups would meet here and set off on foot toward Hungary. Now the park is mostly empty.

Kamal and friends tried to cross into Hungary on Monday night, using the railway tracks near the Hungarian town of Rozske, but found the way already blocked.

“We heard it will close on Tuesday,” says Kamal. Their hopes were dashed. “The women were crying.”

At one point a rumor spread that Hungary had opened the gates. Parents grabbed their children and belongings and ran to the front, only to be met with more tear gas. “What is happening? Is it open or what?” asks one man as he ran away from the tear gas carrying a toddler.

By evening refugees begin leaving the Horgos border crossing. Buses arrived to take people to a camp in Kanijza.

In fact, Serbia is lovely in the fall. Very much like Vermont.

Hose them down, no food, no water, drive the invaders out of Serbia. Any country that continues to welcome them by the tens of thousands is going to be submerged and become a Muslim satrapy.

PASSPORT TO TERROR: MailOnline reporter buys Syrian papers being sold to ISIS fighters sneaking into Europe hidden among refugees. Reporter bought $2,000 Syrian passport, ID card and driving licence in Turkey under the name of a real man who was killed in the conflict.

Forger boasted that ISIS fighters are using documents to travel to Europe to start terror sleeper cells or live under false name free of past crimes. Also being used by economic migrants from other countries exploiting generosity of Europe to Syrian refugees.

Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee told MailOnline the scam was 'deeply disturbing' and should be 'addressed immediately' The blank documents are genuine, having been stolen from government offices by militias fighting regime of Bashar Al-Assad.

EU border official admits fraud is rising and bigger than first thought. ISIS fighters and economic migrants are able to buy Syrian identity documents that allow them to hide among refugees travelling to Europe with frightening ease, an investigation by MailOnline can reveal.

D/M reporter was able to buy a Syrian passport, identity card and driving licence from a fraudster in a Turkish border town this week. The genuine documents were stolen from Syria when they were blank. The forger added our reporter's picture and gave him the identity of a Syrian man from Aleppo killed last year.

The forger who sold us the papers, said that they are being used by ISIS fanatics to travel undetected across borders into Europe hidden among tens of thousands of genuine refugees fleeing the terror and destruction. As the forger chillingly put it: 'ISIS fighters are among the people going to Europe in this way. They are going to wait for the right time to become a fighter for ISIS again.'

The Arabs are good at digging tunnels, let ‘em dig under those barriers. Hopefully, the Balkan countries will treat them like Israel's interaction with PLO-HAMAS terror squads...

They are not trapped. They can always go back to their home countries and fight for it.

“Migrants fear they have nowhere to go as Hungary and Serbia crack down on the movement of refugees”

They DO have somewhere to go—their pick of any number of ME countries where the camels roam freely and there is murdem and mayhem by their brethren just down the block.

Before the Hungarians hose them down, they should be sure to go to all the nearby pig farms, collect the raw sewage, and mix it with the water in the water cannons’ tanks.

dittos!!! Then they can skedaddle back to Turkey to wash it off. Crazy Muslims are killing crazy Muslims WHOLESALE. Why should Europe be obligated to deal with the fallout. Its human fallout and the photos of their children are touching, but Muslims have to deal with their crazy aggressiveness instead of imposing on non-Muslims (Europe) to be rescued.

Islam is a failure due to their false mass murderer prophet and countless generations of inbreeding via first cousin marriage. Not all Islamic cultures engage in first cousin mmaraige but too many do.
