Hungary Starts to Build the Damn Fence

The Hungarians have had it with the invaders known in the media as “migrants” and are doing something about it:

Hungary has begun building a fence on the country’s southern border with Serbia, meant to stem the unprecedented flow of migrants, the government said Monday. Military personnel began working on a 150-meter (490-foot) “sample section” Monday morning on the outskirts of the town of Morahalom, where a bulldozer and other heavy machinery were preparing the ground for construction, according to a joint statement from the interior and defense ministries.

“A daily average of 1,000 illegal border crossers are arriving in Hungary, so illegal immigration has become a severe problem and its control a prominent task,” the ministries said. Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs said Hungary was committed to building the fence, which it says is a temporary measure.

Guess somebody forgot to tell the Hungarians that it's racist to build a fence. I suppose that's why we don't have one on our southern border. Or lack o' sack on the part of the u.s. house and senate.

Well FR’s anti fencers will be screaming now. If they would scream on DU where their position is welcome we would all be better for their absence.

I’ll wager that once our fence begins to be built, tours, helicopter and jeep tours, of the job sites will begin.

Such will be the excitement.

Hell, even Morroco has buile a 1650 mile fence.
Some of it is only a berm - but that portion is heavily mined because it is sparsely manned.

It appears to work.

See your Hungarian "150-meter (490-foot) “sample section”"

And raise you a 600 mile long Saudi Fence:

Hmmmm. Munich based Airbus Defence and Space. I seem to recall the Germans and muzzies working together on some projects about 75 or so years ago. Now what was that...... :>} But I do like the barrier. A lot.

Let me go out on that speculative limb.

Construction, that is dirt being moved, second quarter 2017.

Yes, you’re right, a wall, not a fence.

While a fence may be practical, we’ve waited too damn long, make it all a wall.

I think we should mine our entire border. It would stop the invaders!

Hungary, a part of the old ‘Iron Curtain’ is building another curtain but with a very important difference. The Iron Curtain was a jail wall, designed to keep people IN, whereas this new one is designed for the opposite purpose, keeping INVADERS OUT! 26 years between, whole lot of history as well!

The Left sometimes conflates the Iron Curtain with a U.S. border fence/wall. Completely intellectually dishonest, but then, it’s our Left.

Given the psychology of once being behind the Iron Curtain, the situation there has to be REALLY dire if they are doing this.

Nope, the Hungarians just have excellent memories about how many times they have been invaded and aren't going to put up with it again.

Of course it works. The anti-fence/wall people who continually tell you it won't work, do so because they know it will.

Too bad they didn’t have a fence there in the 1520s.
