whether hungary made it right or not to seal off the green border, whether hungary made it right or notnd make it impossible for illegal migrants to go across the border. can you give me an example, just one example on a positive comments coming from european politicians or european media? no, everybody was attacking it and the european commission was taking the lead in that, to attacking hungary to protect its border. then, my question is, who is lying? they are because they wanted to weaken our capacity to protect our border, they still want to weaken our capacity because they want frontex to protect the borders. do you know what frontex is? frontex is a travel agency. it is not a border protection agency. they would basically like to take away part of the rights of the sovereign nation states to protect their own borders. but our position is that protection of the border is a national obligation. here's another one, you claim that the eu is eager to ease access to migrant visas. again categorically untrue according to all of the detailed presentations from eu officials. they are lyin

look at the wall between serbia and hungary. in all cases these walls were working. and if you talk to the border patrol today, as i have, the border patrol and the customs agents will tell you, we need a wall. the people who are down there, who are experts on the topic, know that that wall will work. not 100%. but it will work a lot better than what they have now. i should point out they want a smart wall, they want a wall with some sensors on there. and they want a wall with a road. one of the problems we have right now in enforcing our southern border is that without a road, given the rough terrain, even if we find out somebody is sneaking across the border, the border patrol cannot get there on a very timely basis. because their vehicles can't move there. here we have an example of a wall with a road that the border patrol can get up and down on. here we have an example of a wall without a road, which makes it very difficult to stop people on a timely basis. another thing for people to remember when people talk about their problems with the wall, a growing number
