Hungary to deport ‘economic’ migrants

Migrants protest in Budapest

Hungarian Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto, said government would register all migrants that came to the country and send economic migrants back to the state from which they entered Hungary.

He said during a press conference in Bled (Hungary), government has been struggling with a large influx of migrants in recent months, and would never support the quota system for migrant distribution.

Szijjarto said such system would only encourage migrants and smugglers.

“We plan to register all migrants regardless of the fact that we are not the first member state they enter.

“We will register everyone who submits the request for asylum and carry out the procedure.

Szijjarto said if the decision is positive the refugee can stay, but if it is not positive, government cannot give shelter to the economic migrants.

He insisted that government cannot bear such burden, therefore affected migrants would be returned to any country they came from.

Earlier on Tuesday Hungary prevented migrants entering the Budapest main railway station, from where they planned to travel towards Austria and Germany. The blockade triggered a protest, which continues today.

  • The people and most notably the politicians of western nations are idiots for letting this go on as long as it has already. Rather than bring the same anti-civilizational and degenerate behaviors responsible for their own nation's follies wherever they go, immigrants need to learn how to fight for and restore their homes.
