Punishments should be meted out as follows :
UKRAINIAN SMUGGLER – FIVE YEARS imprisonment with hard labour.
ILLEGAL MUSLIM MIGRANTS – these individuals must be THROWN BACK into Serbia with BILATERAL CASTRATION to be imposed on any of them trying to re-enter Hungary illegally within the next 10 YEARS.
Only by being VERY TOUGH with illegal migration will the ‘word get around’ to KEEP CLEAR of Hungary !
