Since my late mother was super proud to be a first generation Hungarian-American, I know she's up in Heaven loving this!
Object lesson for the rest of us; fences work and political correctness gets you nothing but a heap of pain.

Earlier this year, Hungary's ferociously articulate Prime Minister Viktor Orbán became the bête noir of European politics. Since then, Orbán has transitioned from being castigated as a threat to European values, into the most recognized defender of his continent's Christian identity.
In a Europe whose central policy-makers seem in thrall to multiculturalism, Hungarians, after centuries of invasions and attempted invasions, appear unapologetically immune to political correctness. Even in their language, the colloquial phrase for communicating with the bluntest possible candor is magyarul mondva, literally "speaking in Hungarian."

Wow, a leader who defines his country by culture & borders, & slowed down the insanity.
While Hungary was being castigated for supposed xenophobia and for Orbán's rhetoric, no one seemed to have considered that perhaps the most historically-invaded country in Europe knew what an invasion actually looked like, better than most.
Thousands of migrants shipped to the EU daily, Orbán argued, are "not a result of indecisiveness," but the product of a conscious "left-wing" conspiracy to curb the relevance of Europe's sovereign nation states by undermining their ethnic foundations.
With the EU having no perceptible mandate, this effort amounts to "treason," he said, which must be countered by national democracies turning to their people. If not, he said, these people risk losing the ownership of their continent unless a Europe-wide consultation on mass migration immediately takes place.
Merkel, Obama, they all want more.
