Mass immigration is, indeed, a danger for all societies, and though it seems an unavoidable symptom of late civilizations, patriotic politicians should seek to reduce it as much as possible.
The most important measure of the success of an immigration policy is whether the newcomers and their children come to fully identify
with their new country.
Using immigration to address labour shortage is clearly not just an economic policy decision: changing the composition of a society is expected to have other far-reaching consequences, and not necessarily favourable ones.
Demographically, outmigration for Hungary is not as serious a concern as for neighbouring countries, but in terms of the loss of professionals, it is a serious problem.
During the course of the last week, 849 migrants were apprehended in total, which is a 15% increase from the week before, when authorities detained 735 people in total.
Hungary has come up with an effective program dubbed Hungary Helps as an answer to the migration crisis, which has already helped 200 Syrian refugee families return to their homes.
For years, Brussels’s progressive mainstream has painted Viktor Orbán as the EU’s so-called ‘Russian asset’. But now Belgium’s own prime minister, Bart de Wever, is being given the same label—simply for rejecting a reckless plan to use frozen Russian assets as collateral for a EUR 140 billion Ukraine loan.
Left-wing groups and union-backed networks mounted coordinated blockades and street violence in Giessen to hinder the founding congress of AfD’s youth wing, Generation Deutschland. Subsidized NGOs helped mobilize masked agitators who built barricades and attacked journalists, politicians, and vehicles, while police intervened only partially, exposing publicly funded pressure against the AfD.
‘Following an embarrassing spectacle in Ireland that saw nearly 13 per cent of voters cast “spoilt” ballots while an unapologetic leftist cruised to victory in the Irish presidential race, establishment-liberal politicians like Tánaiste [Deputy Prime Minister] Simon Harris exhibited timid initial signs of policy reversal on the immigration issue.’

The decision reflects Brussels’s push to centralize control over migration and weaken its Member States’ sovereignty, allowing a foreign national expelled by Hungary due to a lack of income to stay in the country.
