Skeptics who believe a border wall will not stop illegals from entering the United States may want to look at what’s happening in Hungary.
On the day its border fence was completed, the influx of illegals entering Hungary went down from 6,353 one day to 870 the next. For the remainder of that month, illegal border crossings were steadily below 40 per day, officials said.

“They don’t even try,” a local border guard told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “We haven’t had a Syrian in six months.”
Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s pledge to stop illegals from flowing into the country appears to be a spectacular success.
Hungary’s 96-mile long, 14-foot tall double-line fence includes several layers of razor-wire capable of delivering electric shocks. The barrier features cameras, heat sensors and loudspeakers ready to tell migrants they’re about to break Hungarian law if they as much as touch the fence, the April 30 Daily Caller report said.
Nearly every police officer in Hungary is part of a rotation to monitor the border fence at all times. Temporary military bases house the police while they do their rotation.
Additionally, Hungary will train and pay more than 1,000 volunteers to deploy as “border hunters”.
Illegals who are caught are arrested and dropped off on the Serbian side of the fence. They don’t get a chance to apply for asylum unless they do so at a “transit zone” where they are held in housing containers while their cases get processed, the Daily Caller report said.
In September 2015, thousands of migrants streamed across the border every day as they made their way north to Austria, Germany and Scandinavia.
“It was an invasion,” Laszlo Toroczkai, the mayor of Asotthalom, told the Daily Caller. “Illegal immigration is a crime in a normal country. It’s not a normal thing to break into a country.”
“By the mid-year it was well beyond 100,000 people who came across,” said Zoltan Kovacs, a spokesman for the Hungarian government. “You should at least have the ability to handle what’s going on.”
Kovacs added: “You might not like it, it’s not a nice thing, but … the only way to stop illegal border crossings is [to] first build a fence, man it, equip it, and also, in parallel, build up your capabilities in terms of legal confines, legal circumstances to be able to handle what is coming.”
Keeps Hungary savage-free.
Hillary has there balls
Hillary must be exterminated
Too bad the party of “No Cajones” can’t get this done on the USA southern border. So far, just Tsunamies of BS. Shame.
During the 1980s, I did several deployments to South Korea from Okinawa as a member of Marine units coming into country to train on the extensive range system set up in the area just south of the DMZ.
One feature of the road system were the extensive high earthen walls that interdicted the highways at right angles every couple of miles. There were gaps in the wall to let the highway pass through. Above each of these gaps was a huge block of concrete being held aloft by surprisingly thin side walls. If you looked quickly enough as you drove through, you could see the precast holes for the demolition charges that would be used to drop the concrete block across the road and complete the obstacle system.
Another feature I observed was the lining of all the river banks with huge cast concrete polyhedrons set at a near vertical pitch. While I am sure they had routine use as flood control measures, they would also make it very difficult for any attacker to exit the river bed if they tried to use it as an alternative to the blocked highways.
What do you mean by this? Orban is Hitler because he is enforcing his nation's borders?
Wait a minute, Spain has a fence? How can that be? Don’t they know illegals are good, are their friends are murderers and rapists of their citizens.
The question is, why was the goat trying so hard to escape? Fed up with the daily rape?
Looks like one of those cops is on a Segway.
Hungarians want to keep the conquerors out.
Western European nations want to be conquered. In fact, they actually pay the invaders to come in and conquer them.
Democrats in America want immigrants to invade the USA and receive welfare benefits because they will vote Democrats into office permanently.
It's all obvious to those honest enough to be willing to see.
GET THAT SOUTHERN WALL BUILT!
The silver lining of the Iron Curtain is that the countries behind it weren’t inundated with Turd-World losers.
Got to remember that Eastern Europe to its credit has not forgotten its history.
It's "Spain", but it's actually Ceuta which is on the continent of Africa.
Not you understand the big election revolt last November that brought Donald J. Trump in the White House.
Correction: Now you understand.
Israel has a massive wall.
Read on FR last week in a posting that efforts of the US Corps of Engineers is laying the groundwork for the new southern wall, starting in CA.
History meaning when there was a Byzantine Empire and how lands were lost because of Muslim invasions.
