Hungary to seal off border with Croatia

Hungary plans to seal off its border with Croatia from midnight.

The thousands arriving daily on trains from Serbia will be greeted by razor wire they can neither cross or go around.

Officials say inaction by Brussels means Budapest must protect the external frontiers of the EU’s passport-free Schengen zone.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto described it as the second-best solution, not the best one: “The best solution was not reached during the European Council meeting, since there was no agreement on defending the external border in Greece.”

Crossing points will remain open and requests for asylum will be accepted in two transit zones.

Wire fences have been already been erected between Hungary, Serbia and Croatia.

Up to 8000 people a day are arriving in Croatia.

Travelling on to tiny Slovenia or remaining stranded in Croatia are the two options now remaining for these people.

Most of the so called ' refugees ' are economic transients looking to better their life in rich countries,

they have nothing to do with the Syrian crisis and many of them are from Africa...And did the few tens of thousand of Turkish workers who entered Germany to work back in the 70'-80' and become now part and parcel of Germany and a force to recon with so will the 'new people' in 20-30 years and goodbye white Europe and hello sharia laws, mosques and minarets all over the place.....

Given that there are probably less than 1.5 billion "whites" in a world of 7 billion people, the chances of there being a "white" anywhere are pretty slim don't you think?

The future is beige.

Good for them. Long overdue

And that is the real problem. When I was born, in the 1930s, the world population had just passed the two billion mark. This was also the number of human being who had ever lived on this planet, from year dot to the end of the nineteenth century. Since then the population has exploded, and is continuing to do so. There just ain't enough room for us all - not enough resources, not enough food, water, housing, schools, jobs, raw materials, medical help, financial depth. If one distributed all these resources equally among the current world population none of us would have what we consider to be enough. Yet by 2050 it is forecast that the world will be 9 billion strong! It cannot go on like this - we must reduce the world population to a manageable 4 billion now.

You would not believe the latest wheeze that the EU leaders have come up with to try to stem the flow of migrants. They are to bung Turkey over 2.5 BILLION to keep the migrants from crossing Turkey to get into the EU and as well as the cash the Turkish people can have free access to the EU as well. So all those 78 MILLION poor Turkish people can then travel to any EU state and live, work or claim benefits.

Utterly brilliant. Why did nobody think of this sooner ?

The Syrian refugees wont stand a chance in the rush

[ozyjon]

more borders need to be closed

Hungry is a relatively poor, predominately "Christian" country whose population support their Government in this matter.

They have no wish to be invaded by a Muslim horde which includes criminals and terrorists.

How do I know ?

A good friend of mine is married to a Hungarian lady and they live in Budapest.

Do not forget that as each "refugee" settles in Europe, he/she will have 10 children, who in turn will have 10 children, who in turn......need I go on.
