‘They don't even try': Hungary's new border fence called ‘spectacular success'
2019-03-21
[World Tribune] Skeptics who believe a border wall will not stop illegals from entering the United States may want to look at what’s happening in Hungary.

On the day its border fence was completed, the influx of illegals entering Hungary went down from 6,353 one day to 870 the next. For the remainder of that month, illegal border crossings were steadily below 40 per day, officials said.

"They don’t even try," a local border guard told The Daily Caller News Foundation. "We haven’t had a Syrian in six months."

Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s pledge to stop illegals from flowing into the country appears to be a spectacular success.

Hungary’s 96-mile long, 14-foot tall double-line fence includes several layers of razor-wire capable of delivering electric shocks. The barrier features cameras, heat sensors and loudspeakers ready to tell migrants they’re about to break Hungarian law if they as much as touch the fence, the April 30 Daily Caller report said.

Nearly every police officer in Hungary is part of a rotation to monitor the border fence at all times. Temporary military bases house the police while they do their rotation.

Additionally, Hungary will train and pay more than 1,000 volunteers to deploy as "border hunters".

Illegals who are caught are arrested and dropped off on the Serbian side of the fence. They don’t get a chance to apply for asylum unless they do so at a "transit zone" where they are held in housing containers while their cases get processed, the Daily Caller report said.

#11  Along the off-topic:
I was returning home on a flight back when. Few rows ahead of me was this dude with a mohawk and a jacket which had that doofy anarchist symbol on it. He must have been charismatic because he not only had his row mates' ears, but some neighbors as well. Not eavesdropping, plane was getting in line and like everyone who finds themselves the center of attention the conversation gets steadily louder. Well, he makes no bones he is a true anarchist, at which time, had we been at cruising altitude, I would have spit out my bloody mary all over the skymall crap.

My Absolut - all the systems which must be in place to get him, us, all here, up, and down safely and fartpusher is railing on about down with the systems. Reminded me of a friend of my when I lived in collegetown. Good guy, lots of fun, not an automaton but could grasp me pointing out that here he is, downtown bar with out of town band drinking European beer and smoking Turkish blend cigarettes pontificating why he is an anarchist.

Any rate, walls work. History is covered in walls.

#10  It's always fun to ask an anarchist how sewage will be handled in their preferred world...

#7  There is an analysis that contends sanitary sewers and refrigeration have done the most to extend human lifespans.

Proof of the analysis? Take a look at places in this old world that still do NOT have it.

#6  There is an analysis that contends sanitary sewers and refrigeration have done the most to extend human lifespans. Nobody thinks at all about what happens when they flush the toilet (well, except for people in that line of work) they just expect the desired result. Likewise, you see people who are "anti-hunting" buying meat at the supermarket every time you are there. A fence would be "mean" they say. So what? A slaughter house is mean? What has to happen to process your trip to the john is mean? Wake. The. F*ck. Up...
