Send them back to Greece or Turkey where they are supposed to be processed first. If not, get them on a train or plane to Belgium. The E.U. headquarters can figure out what to do with them.
What really baffles me is, all the migrants, including those illegal ones who break through the fence, who do not get accepted as refugees, what happens to them??? Are they sent back from whence they came, or are they kept in Hungary? Will someone please answere my question. Also, who pays for their keep?- the tax payer?
