Fences work: Hungary has huge success blocking migrants
10,000 Syrians per day last month now a trickle

The U.S. can learn a lesson from Hungary: Border fences work.
Hungary declared a state of emergency in mid-September and began sealing off its southern border with Serbia. The result: Roughly 10,000 Syrian migrants pouring into the country per day last month has turned into dozens.
Dr. Gyorgy Bakondi, chief adviser for homeland security to prime minister Viktor Orban, announced on Hungarian television this week that illegal immigration is now below “peace time” levels, Breitbart London reported Thursday. Its efforts along the Serbian border were aided by a razor-wire fence along part of Hungary’s border with Romania.
Europe is struggling to absorb waves of migrants from the Middle East and Northern Africa who are fleeing Syria’s civil war and the Islamic State group. Germany expects to receive 800,000 by the end of the year.
Bakondi said its policy success depends on what he calls “triple defense” – the fence, police, and troops to back them up.
