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.

Amazing how effective even fences can be to keep out illegals.

Spain apparently has so basically impossible fences to breech.

With part of the wall already being build, prototypes up next, and the full scale wall beginning construction in upcoming months, it’s rather difficult not to feel sorry about your lack of ability to assimilate information.

Some of you folk twist everything you can to minimize Conservative momentum under Trump.

So sad to see the Democrat Underground outreach program here.

RE:”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. “

The promise to get Mexico to pay for the wall was a brazen lie.

A bad thing happened with that last budget deal, Trump got some praise by some in MSM.

Now he wants more.

Joe and Mika praising him first time since primary.
They said that only ~ 17% want Dreamers deported and Trump should ignore them.

Makes sense to have walls.

Vatican also has a wall. Likewise, there will be a major wall around Facebook facility in Iowa.

Des Moines Register reported that Facebook facility in Altoona, Iowa will have a $10 million fence around it.

Make it like Japan, where ALL foreigners living here have to carry a foreigner identification card with their fingerprint on it.

if they go out in the public and anytime they have to have that on their person;

cops Can demand to see it for no reason.

Want to register a bicycle, rent an apartment, register for classes or visit the hospital..?

Kay, show me your Foreigner Card.

RE:”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.”

And once they get Green cards they will sponsor their families to get them.

No matter what Trump or Republicans claim on that issue they will cave on that after amnesty,

I like Breitbart's 'Amnesty Don'.

Amnesty Don and his new buddies Schumer and Pelosi.

RE:”So sad to see the Democrat Underground outreach program here.”

well I hate to think that you are sad :(

Those were Breitbart links but from what I have seen the libs are giddy over Trump's betrayals,

Yep, you think Trump is no different than Schumer and Pelosi.

You made my point crystal clear. Thank you.

You’ve gone full nut-job.

Lately Amnesty Don is acting like their pet stooge.

Schumer was caught on hot mic saying “Trump likes me”

I can think of several of our politicians that can learn from Hungary.

You're so screwed up, that you post a third grade level comment by Schumer to buttress your belief system.

As I said, you prove my points over and over.

Well, I didn’t think anyone here trusted Schumer and Pelosi more than Trump, but it looks like I was wrong.

Trump was a Dem most of his live donated to them most of his life so it shouldn’t be a total surprise that he is now doing their bidding.

If they can’t get into Hungary where are they going? Italy and Austria seem like the only options.

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

In Hungary, all the people agree that a wall is necessary to keep illegals out — not so in the US.

Let’s save on design costs. Plagiarize Hungary’s border wall design and just build it, starting with high traffic areas.
