The new bill also allows authorities to detain all adult asylum seekers in its territory and summarily return those refused to the Serbian border as part of “crisis” measures in place until September.

Right before Christmas, Hungary’s PM Victor Orban “praised the victories of the populist Five Star Movement in the Italian referendum and the election of Donald Trump in the United States, claiming these developments are just the beginning of the ‘rebellion.'” He went on to declare: “let’s make Hungary great again.”

Orban also stirred controversy in July when he “described the arrival of asylum seekers in Europe as ‘a poison’, and declared to Germany’s Angela Merkel that “we won’t pay for your error.”

“Humanitarian” organizations are now railing against the new law to detain asylum seekers and send them back home. If European leaders were more careful in their approach to migrants and had more of a sense of responsibility to their own citizens, Orban would not have had to resort to such drastic measures. Orban correctly referred to migration as a “trojan horse for terrorism.”
