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.

Great Britain is an island. They don’t even need a wall, so how did they get invaded by millions of Muslims and illegal aliens? Oh, that’s right. They encouraged them to come. How ironic that little Hungary will end up enduring and prospering long after Western Europe is engulfed in a violent civil war. Also, no one makes Pollack jokes anymore, do they? That’s because Eastern Europe is the new prosperous, safe, EUROPEAN place to live. Western Europe is a third world toilet.
Whammo!
Now that’s what I’m talking about!!
They ought to invite someone from the Trump Administration over for a photo-op.
Eastern Europe does not have the cultural suicide tendencies of western Europe.
They want to keep their countries.
I don’t see any Wall in our near future.
Western Europe has forgotten what it's like to be free.
Winning. Hungary PM Viktor Orban is a model for political leadership.

A girl can dream! :)
Everybody knows..... the Hungarians are just a bunch of racists! /s
That’s because you have chosen to open your mouth so wide your eyes are covered.
We had a bidding process.
The bidders have been announced.
Prototype wall sections are coming shortly.
With some funds that were made available, a section of current wall is being replace with a 20’ high steel structure.
You’ve missed a lot. I didn’t realize you’d been away for so long.
Amazing how well walls work, ain’t it ???
Hungary, in its various forms, has been at war with Islam for a good part of the last 700 years. Its part of their history.
As I have learned recently with Myanmar/Burma - the West criticizes them for not holding to the Western elitist PC, cultural marxist narrative, but their history, and historical memory, holds a very menacing view of Islam.
I’d be happy with an electrified fence, motion sensors and surveillance cameras with a manned guard shack every hundred yards. Boost employment and we charge Mexico in the form of tariffs, etc.
Lies! Lies! All lies!!! Walls can’t stop illegals!!!
Don’t let facts get in the way...
Lets see what Amnesty Don has to say about it.

Donald Trump: ‘The Wall Will Come Later’ After DACA Amnesty Deal(14 Sep 2017 Breitbart )
The wall will pay for itself. And Mexico is stuck with all their own people.
I could see a wall after amnesty.mmwalling every illegal inside and putting them ahead of our children and grandchildren. We got anchor babies in the last wall deal.. never a wall. The leftists headlines are ridiculing us.. one reads.. Mexico beat Reagan, it can beat trump too.
I think they are right.
The Wall is a big lie among other campaign promises. I don't necessarily blame the President but the rest of government will not stand for the MAGA agenda. Obama had his "Hope and Change" "transformation" and government prostrated themselves while giving the Kenyan a blank check. GOP and DNC would love nothing more to have President Trump out of their hair.
