The extra-parliamentary Mi Hazánk party has suggested that Hungary’s authorities should have the power to seize cash carried by migrants entering the country illegally, party leader László Toroczkai told a press conference on Wednesday.
Toroczkai, who is mayor of Ásotthalom, near the Hungary-Serbia border, insisted that the migrants recently apprehended were “nearly all young, strong men with large sums in their pockets”. He added that “migrants pay people smugglers many thousands of euros to help them to Austria” and
“people smuggling has become one of the most profitable businesses”.
Toroczkai also insisted that “migrants owe the Hungarian state this much” because “Hungarian taxpayers have spent a lot of money on protecting the country’s southern borders”. He argued that if Hungarian authorities could seize their money, migrants “would probably choose other routes or they would not come at all”.

The party leader also called on the government to “follow the example of Denmark” and “expel all asylum seekers from the country”.
Toroczkai said that the refugee status should only be granted in individual cases because
“there is no war in neighbouring countries”
and migrants from other countries “have already passed a safe country”.

What a FANTASTIC suggestion !
Illegal migrants have neither the NEED nor REASON for carrying several thousand euros in cash UNLESS it is being used to pay nefarious ‘people smugglers’.
Hungarian authorities should CONFISCATE any amount greater than 500 euros from ALL ‘illegals’ unless both VALID (photographic) identification and REASON(S) for having such large amounts of CASH can be provided by ‘illegals’ AT THE TIME of their apprehension.
Word will quickly spread around the illegal migrant community – KEEP CLEAR OF HUNGARY !
Put a judge on the border, to expedite the removal of illegal aliens from the country. If interviewed by a judge upon arrival, the illegal aliens will not have a chance to make up stories. The other alternative is to use a good computer program to evaluate refugee claims. This will save many people from spending their time listening on lies.
