| ‘It Was An Invasion': How Hungary Managed To Erase Illegal Immigration In Just A Few Months |
| 2017-05-01 |
| [Daily Caller] BUDAPEST, Hungary -- When other countries welcomed refugees with open arms, Hungary decided it was time to eradicate illegal immigration at any cost. The country succeeded, but that success damaged relations with the European Union in the process. Hungary’s second border fence has just been completed in the southern town of Asotthalom. The 96-mile long, 14 ft. tall double-line of defense doesn’t look too intimidating from a distance. Go a little closer and you’ll notice several layers of razor-wire capable of delivering electric shocks, cameras, heat sensors and loud speakers ready to tell migrants they’re about to break Hungarian law if they as much as touch the fence. Add a few hundred military officers and "border hunters" and it’s virtually impossible to break. |

| #5 There has to be the will to want to stop illegal immigration. Neither party has any interest in stopping it. Neither party *cares* if you or I feel safe (or if we *are* safe). They care only that THEY remain in their seats of power and money and private armed security and power and money and fine food and power and money. I think a lot of us lost sight of that for a little while after Trump won--we mistakenly believed (in hindsight it was a mere wish) that since Trump was a "Republican" that the Republicans believed in and supported the same things that propelled Trump to the White House. We've learned otherwise. The Republicans are, by and large, the same bullshit-talking *power* craven leaches that the Democrats are. They are as much the enemy as the Democrats are. They work WITH the Democrats rather than in opposition to them. |

It seems like that such a fence might work for our border as well with some tweaking. |

| #2 I believe Hungary is more than a little mountainous, not flat as the Mexican/USA border. |
