‘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.

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).

Also a minefield between parallel fences would be a nice touch.

Our leaders? Never. They’re comfortably reelected each time.

They remind us of the Three Stooges, except that the originals weren’t nearly as stupid as these jokers.

They ran off the Mooselimbs out of Hungary and they are just getting on their feet from the Nazi rule and Communist rule.

Not quite. A pal of mine in the Army used to wear a gold medal, with the face of a different great man on either side. One I knew: Tadeusz Kościuszko, the Polish Count and engineer officer who came to this country when it was fighting the British to become a new nation where there would be no more Counts or Noblemen; he designed the fortifications at West Point and eventually rose to the position of Naczelnik (commander-in-chief) of poland's forces...but returned to America upon his retirement. Why the medal with the Polish General, I asked. *Because without him and what he did, there would have been no America, and I am an American,* he explained.

The guy on the other side I didn't know. I found out that John III Sobieski was from 1674 until his death King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, and that when the Turks besieged the Austro-Hungarian capital of Vienna and were about to move in for the kill, the forces organized and commanded by the Polish King Jan Sobieski came to the rescue like the cavalry in an old Western movie with savages surrounding a wagon train.

So you wear the medal with Poland's two greatest heroes on it because you're Polish, I asked?

Oh no, he replied, I'm an American. I wear it because my grandparents and great-grandparents were Austrian, he said.

King Jan Sobieski died in 1696. Eighty years later, the American colonists began their revolution, with the help of Brigadier General Kościuszko and the Marquis de Lafayette, and the cursing German Baron called von Steuben. One of these days, I'll have to find myself one of those medals to wear on my dogtag chain. BTW: the date of the Battle of Vienna that prevented the muslum army from overrunning Europe and crashed their dream of imperial domination was in 1683, on a date they can never forget: September 11th, more generally thought of in this country as 9/11.

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.

Print out a copy of this FReeppost for him, and show him that you are not at all the only one who feels that way about the subject. And let him know that a lot of my friends in Finland feel the same wat and are looking very hard at Finland's example.

I'm illiterate in several of the ones I can speak a little [mostly order beer and lunch, chat about local girls and get sisters' phone numbers, and read ammo crates] Trying to run accent marks in Finnish or Hungarian drives me batty, but I can generally spell things out close enough to find it on the internet. That does not work nearly as well with Serbian or Russian Cyrillics, but I'm still trying to row that canoe sideways upstream.

It’s no coincidence that neocons hate Victor Orban.
