Hungary Builds a Wall, Cuts Illegal Immigration by Over 99 Per Cent
breitbart ^ | JACK MONTGOMERY

Hungary has slashed illegal immigration by over 99 per cent after rolling out a series of powerful border fences in response to the European migrant crisis, possibly providing a lesson as to the potential impact of constructing President Trump’s much-discussed southern wall in the U.S. Speaking on the second anniversary of the government’s move to seal Hungary’s border with Serbia — which is also an external border for the European Union — Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Chief Security Advisor, György Bakondi, announced that the fences have caused illegal immigration to collapse from 391,000 in 2015, to 18,236 in 2016, to just 1,184 in 2017.

“The system of technical barriers is the key to the success of border security, and without it, it would be impossible to stop the mass arrival of immigrants”, the security chief explained.

Hungary had to respond rapidly to the migrant influx which burst upon Europe after Germany’s Angela Merkel announced there was “no limit” on the number of asylum seekers her own country would accept, so its frontiers are defended by twin fences peppered with watchtowers and patrolled by thousands of newly recruited border guards rather than a solid wall — which would have taken longer to construct.

...little Hungary will end up enduring and prospering long after Western Europe is engulfed in a violent civil war.

Hungary will also become a world tourist center as Americans and others get tired of visiting war zones...

Apropos of nothing, Allen Sherman’s “Hungarian Goulash” is completely not politically correct.

Meanwhile, on THIS side of the Atlantic...

A REALLY IMPORTANT email just came to me from a friend. 
If the DACA thing still confuses you and/or you want to know why Democrats and some Chamber of Commerce RINOs favor DACA and/or you want to know the REAL REASON WHY the 14th Amendment was added to the Constitution (as opposed to the totally false leftist, one-world “anchor baby” answer)  you might want to read this. That last one is the BIGGIE!

What’s at stake?  Not much. Just the culture and IDEA OF AMERICA that has become the envy of the world!
PLEASE SHARE IT WITH YOUR FRIENDS!!

PS: The OTHER reason why many of our rulers who art in Washington NEED millions of new serfs — from ANYWHERE in the world — is because years ago they co-mingled the funds for the Social Security “TRUST FUND” (do TRY to control your mirth!) with the GENERAL FUND and proceeded to purchase perpetual reelection with all sorts of costly goodies.  The dough has run out and these new “serfs” (and the Federal Reserve’s ability to create more fiat currency for which they charge us interest) are required to keep the damn thing afloat.  That the vast majority of these new “serfs” will vote leftist Democrat gives new and deeper meaning to the phrase “mass suicide” to the once respectable Republican Party.

Further clarification of this vital to national security and preservation issue is provided by Ann Coulter at the link below.

AFTER WORD:
Trump did the right thing to push obozo’s thoroughly ILLEGAL DACA up the Hill to the critters residing there.  That said, IF whatever comes off the Hill ALLOWS ILLEGALS TO REMAIN HERE, he’d better VETO IT or the bloom is off that rose.
What Rush, Tucker and Ann are simply doing is firing a warning shot across his bow! And MY post is simply to attempt to educate folks to the FACTS of this VITAL issue!

RE:”Trump has done more for Conservatism in the last eight months, than you’ve done for it in your life.”

Mueller should drop the Russian investigation and instead investigate the possible funding of the Trump GOP primary campaign by Democrats and progressive groups.

True dat. Walls and doors work. My neighbors and I don’t have our front yard fenced.
So you take your front door off, say to paint it, and the next thing you know you’ve got Mormon elders on your couch, window salesman measuring from the inside and Jehovahs’ Witnesses rummaging through your fridge.

This `tut tut, walls don’t work’ is another “It’s just raining” meme we get from our political overlords, who carefully wall/fence and gate completely around their own homes.
Angie and the EU are trying to feed Hungary and Poland the same ****.

A wall or doors by themselves accomplish nothing. They can and will be bypassed. One must have both wall and human intervention backup. With a private home, that is an alarm system, neighborhood watch, house-sitter, etc.

I googled but for some reason the article about Facebook’s $10 million fence in Iowa did not appear. Maybe it was just a glitch. However, I had written the source down. It appeared in Sunday’s Des Moines Register, September 17, 20017, section D, the Business section

I found the article but the Register did not put it on their FB page so the masses can see it.
