Protracted migration process
On Monday, György Bakondi, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister told public television channel M1 that a number of signs point towards a protracted migration process.
Bakondi said that even though the agreement between Turkey and the EU is still in force, the number of migrants on the islands of Greece has doubled. The reason for this is that deportations have been on hold since the coup attempt in Turkey, and according to various political statements, if the EU does not grant Turks visa-free travel, the agreement will be suspended.
Consequently, migrants are being transported from islands to land, from where they set off towards Europe’s heart, thus increasing the pressure on Hungary’s borders, Bakondi explained. He also added that because of these circumstances, the Government of Hungary has decided to increase the number of police officers on duty on Hungary’s borders by 3,000 people.
In an interview with public broadcaster Kossuth Rádió, Bakondi said that until now, in 2016, 18,000 people have attempted to cross the Hungarian-Serbian border illegally, and there are currently 2,200 people waiting in the transit zones. Therefore Hungary’s position is that illegal migration must be stopped, not just halted, he added. He also expressed his hope that at the European Council’s next meeting, the Visegrád countries will present a joint, harmonised proposal on this topic.

The immigration build up is entirely down to the incompetence of the EU Commissioners failure to sort this out. It appears that they are not up to their jobs and therefore should be sacked, being replaced by more competent people who can solve problems.
At this rate EU member states do not have to use a Brexit type of organisation the whole EU will come crashing down by itself.
The best way forward would be to call a halt to all immigration now and deport all immigrants back to their last country of origin. EU/Europe cannot be expected to house the whole of the worlds third world populations.
Merkel, the problem starter of all this migration should get off her high horse and enter the real world. Everyone, by now, should know what she is up to, and it is about time it came to a halt. The EU should demand her leave of her position, but before she goes, she should confront all countries concerned where all the migrants are coming from, and to tell them that she was telling a lie about Europe wanting them. She should then tell them to stop coming to Europe, because they are not welcome. All boats in the middle of the Med should be halted and turned back. All ferries from Turkey should stop running. Migrants trying to enter into Hungary should be warned that they will be shot if they make any advance towards the border fence. All illegal migrants in Europe should be deported back to where they came from by whever means that can be mustered. Soros should be relieved of his position and put into prison where he shall die. Dictatatorship should be wiped out in Europe and all the people be given the right of democracy again. France should be halted in it’s tracks, the country where liberalism began-Hollande should be put to the dogs along with his Communist girlfriend, Merkel. Junker should be put to death along with all the other idiots that perform with him. If these measures are not carried out, then Europe is doomed.
