On Sunday, the migrants — many with children and babies — orderly boarded trains and buses that took them to the border with Serbia before heading farther north toward EU-member Hungary, which is building a razor wire fence on its frontier to prevent them from entering. If they manage to enter Hungary, the migrants could travel freely across the borders of most of the 28 EU-member states.
The more than 5,000 migrants who reached Serbia overnight faced an overcrowded refugee centre where they have to apply for asylum — the paper that allows them three days to reach Hungary. State Serbian TV said that a woman gave birth overnight inside the centre and that many people are sick and injured from Saturday’s clashes.

Won’t work. Fences do not keep people out. At least that is what the Democrats tell us.

I guess all these destitute people have money for train fare?
There is no way Europe and North America can absorb all these people.
Obama and his feckless leadership is completely to blame for this debacle.
Democrats? Try the Republicans!
If you where facing what they are facing, you would find train fare also. Even if you had to kill for it.
These international hobos need to stay in their own crummy countries and fight to the death to improve them.
It is easy to say that from the comfort of our air conditioned homes in the realization that we live in a country that if a known terrorist has water poured in his face he will be able to sue and win in court against the government.
We still enjoy a relative peace and knowledge that we have a country of laws and not men.
These people are as desperate as you can get. They are ordinary civilians caught in the middle of radical Islamists and and the blood thirsty Baathist Assad. Many are women and children.
The real problem is that Obama has caused this nonsense by ginning up discontent and then leaving the area to its’ own devises. Is there any doubt that none of this would be happening if a force of 10,000 American soldiers where still in bases in Iraq? If we had a presence among the insanity?
Still. These people can not be allowed to rampage through Europe. They must be stopped and in all reality should be held in Refugee camps in Turkey with support form both Europe and America until that time they can return to their own countries in peace.
Turkey damn well is complacent in this as a real obstacle to the Wests desires and needs in Iraq over the past decade. They should be forced to deal with their intransigence.
They would if they had no choice.
No they wouldn’t.
They are not fleeing for money. They are fleeing for their lives.
They should fight those who wish to harm them. Also, they also flee so they can take advantage of LIB suckers in more stable countries.
People in North Korea attempt to escape to China. You do what you can to live.
When they have reached Tyrkey their lives are saved.
Moving further is for money.
