HORGOS, Serbia (AP) -- Hungary sealed off its border with Serbia with massive coils of barbed wire Tuesday and began detaining migrants trying to use the country as a gateway to Western Europe, harsh new measures that left thousands of frustrated asylum-seekers piled up on the Serbian side of the border.
Human rights activists condemned the move, with Amnesty International saying Hungary's "intimidating show of militarized force is shocking." But Prime Minister Viktor Orban defended the measures, saying he was acting to preserve Christian Europe, which he said had become threatened by the large numbers of Muslims streaming into the continent.
"The supply is nearly endless - we can see how many of them are coming," Orban said in a televised address just before the new laws took effect at midnight. "And if we look at the demographics, we can see that these people have more children than our communities who lead a traditional, Christian way of life."
"Mathematics tells you that this will lead to a Europe where our way of life will end up in a minority, or at least face a very serious challenge."

As good Christians I’m sure Hungary would have been glad to do what it could to help them... WHERE THEY WERE. But no they are not going to turn Hungary into an enclave.

Yes. The leeches smell blood free money, and they won't quit coming until it's made plain and simple that they aren't wanted. And it will take firepower to run them off. Let them stay where they came from and fix their own problems, but I think that story is false, this is a scripted invasion of muslims. It must fail and be driven back or the known culture of Europe is doomed to die and be replaced with islam.

Here is another article worth a peek but what I found at the end of it makes me question the sanity of some across the pond. Witness this screenclip:
I just don't know why they want to commit cultural suicide.

Be curious to see them not just tout other people’s generosity but their own. Who wants a refugee family to shack up with them? Now that may be a foolish choice but it at least would put their money where their mouth is.

Perhaps Amnesty International could put them up in the directors homes.

We both know their ilk are all talk and no action, just like liberals dictating how everyone should conduct their lives, while they ignore their own diktats. It’s stupefyingly frustrating to watch .

Chicken? Chicken! Dude, baby back ribs, pulled pork - BACON!
To: AFreeBird
LOL! I agree with you - just parodying the Wendy’s commercial for their chicken sandwich and uses “Hungary” as a euphemism for reminding one he is hungry for the advertised product.
