Immigration: Allowing Tens Of Millions Into Europe Will Destroy Europe, PM

Numerous migrants enter the European Union through the Balkan Peninsula.

Meanwhile, other destination countries such as France and Germany insisted that countries must be required to accept their shares of refugees. European Council President Donald Tusk said Thursday that the “fair distribution of at least 100,000 migrants among the EU states is what in fact we need”. For most refugees, Hungary is just a pit stop and serves as an entrance to the Schengen area, a group of 26 European nations in which people can travel freely without border controls.

Arriving in Brussels for talks about the crisis, Orban said the Hungarian parliament is pushing through new measures “that will create a new legal situation at the borders, even more strict than it was”. “Some member states are thinking about containing the wave of migration, symbolised by the Hungarian (border) fence“, Tusk said.

Hungary has emerged as the main entry point for those reaching the European Union (EU). During his talks in Brussels on Thursday, his foreign partners told him that they are not in favour of Hungary’s anti-immigration barrier fence on the border with Serbia but they have no better idea, he revealed. If Germany issues these people visas, “we can allow them out”, he said.

Viktor Orban says Muslim refugees are not welcome in Hungary.

The Prime Minister’s apparent change of attitude comes as more than 300,000 people have signed an online petition urging the Government to act.

Shanan, who bears scars on his arms that he says are from the fighting in Syria, contended that authorities were denying them food and water, but Associated Press reporters saw police and civilian volunteers trying to deliver both to the train – and it getting thrown back out the windows.

Italy, Greece and now Hungary and the Balkan states have borne the brunt of the migrant influx which shows no sign of slowing as war and turmoil across the Middle East and North Africa drive millions of people from their homes.
