EU Migration Crisis -- September 21, 2015



Daily Mail: The human tide: Waves of migrants keep coming as Hungary warns millions are 'breaking down the doors' of Europe and Germany says EU should only take refugees from crisis-hit areas

* Hungary took out a full page ads saying 'the strongest possible action' will be taken against law breakers
* Advert informs would-be refugees that entering Hungary illegally is now a crime punishable by imprisonment
* Later the Hungarian Prime Minister said that millions of refugees are now 'breaking down the doors' of Europe
* 'Our borders are under threat. Hungary is under threat and so is the whole of Europe,' Viktor Orban added

Thousands of refugees continued to arrive in the Balkans today, despite the Hungarian government posting adverts in Lebanese and Jordanian newspapers warning them that entering the country illegally is a crime punishable by imprisonment.

In a full-page advertisement in several newspapers, including Lebanon's leading An-Nahar and Jordan's Al-Rai, the government said 'the strongest possible action is taken' against people who attempt to enter Hungary illegally.

WNU Editor: What I find fascinating about the above photo gallery is that in almost all of the pictures that are posted (and there are a lot) .... almost all of the refugees are young men.
