Skeptics who believe a border wall will not stop illegals from entering the United States may want to look at whats 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 dont even try, a local border guard told The Daily Caller News Foundation. We havent had a Syrian in six months.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbans pledge to stop illegals from flowing into the country appears to be a spectacular success.
Hungarys 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 theyre 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 dont 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. Its 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 whats going on.
Kovacs added: You might not like it, its 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.
“Illegal immigration is a crime in a normal country.” Says it all.
There was a time when migrants entering Europe would go well out of their way to avoid Hungary.
America is becoming a lawless country.
Eastern European nations by & large are not self-loathing betas like most of the Western nations currently are.
How appropriate for this to take place in modern day Adolf’s home country, eh?
Manning the US border doesn’t require a massive number of new border agents. Reposition some regular force units near the border and make border patrol part of their training and responsibility. Maintaining a perimeter is a vital defensive skill as we’ve seen in Iraq and Afghanistan (and sadly we’ve seen the tragic consequences of infiltrations into the “green zones”), so the training won’t be wasted.
No reporting of this spectacular success story by MSM. Success based on common sense.

South Korea has fences topped with razor wire all along its northern border, as well as along any rivers near the border. Guard posts and lights are placed at intervals. In addition, the supporting columns of freeway bridges over the rivers are wrapped with razor wire to prevent anyone from climbing up and gaining access to the roadways. Those South Koreans are serious about keeping the North Koreans out. North Koreans who want to defect must escape through China.
Fences work.
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!!!
Sounds like complete remission.
Laws within the United States of America are selectively enforced today and have been for a very long time.
I believe Spain holds them in the North African cities they still hold (like Ceuta); they’ve stormed the fences there, but getting through still leaves them on the south side of the Med...
Just like Al Gore's fantasy tale about handling tobacco, that story made scream at my TV set. ANY animal (or man) can be stopped with a good fence. And I'd almost bet my house that Trent Lott never owned a goat.
Bravo for them and PM Orban for standing up to the suicidal EU.
