‘It Was An Invasion’: How Hungary Managed To Erase Illegal Immigration In Just A Few Months(T)

BUDAPEST, Hungary — When other countries welcomed refugees with open arms, Hungary decided it was time to eradicate illegal immigration at any cost.

The country succeeded, but that success damaged relations with the European Union in the process.

Hungary’s second border fence has just been completed in the southern town of Asotthalom. The 96-mile long, 14 ft. tall double-line of defense doesn’t look too intimidating from a distance. Go a little closer and you’ll notice several layers of razor-wire capable of delivering electric shocks, cameras, heat sensors and loud speakers ready to tell migrants they’re about to break Hungarian law if they as much as touch the fence.

Add a few hundred military officers and “border hunters” and it’s virtually impossible to break.

Close to every police officer in the country is part of a rotation to make sure the grounds are covered at all times. Temporary military bases have been set up by the border to house them while they do their rotation.

Difference between immigration and invasion? Uncontrolled cross border incursions? Also known as trespassing.

Former Communist Countries don’t have a death wish like we do apparently.

I wish America were as rich as Hungary and could afford to defend our borders from invasion.

“The feud with the EU has escalated in other areas as well. EU has threatened to file a lawsuit against the country after it moved to regulate foreign-funded universities — particularly one established by Hungarian billionaire George Soros.”

When will our leaders have the sense that these people do?

We could take a lot of unemployed Americans and make them, ‘Border Hunters.’ ;)

Win/Win!

They’re flying ‘refugees’ in from the ME etc. yes. Build the friggin wall, but criminal actors like the 9th Circus Court need to be hog-tied tarred, feathered and road off the continent into the Pacific tied on a steel rail. (Figuratively....of course)

Isn’t that interesting? A people having been seriously hurt have more attachment to both reality and prevention? Israel; former soviet bloc countries?

I would be completely happy with this fence for our use, but I also want cameras, motion detectors, drones, and underground sound sensors or gravity change detectors (these exist).

A good friend of mine is a Hungarian immigrant (Legal and huge US patriot)

I think him frequently for the example his country shows to the world on dealing with the horde of illegal trespassers.

Doing the right thing is always a WIN - WIN.

It appears that Hungary is the only European country that has the right idea. Good for Hungary!
