Hungary is spending billions of forints (millions of euros), using prisoners and soldiers, to build a 180 km (110 mile) long, 3-meter (10-foot) high fence along its border to protect the nation from the asylum-seekers that it is currently brutalizing. The fence is being constructed by 350 prisoners, who are being paid $117 per month each for their work.

Ebay is selling a double-sided fiberglass 3-meter (10-foot) high stepladder (the same height as the Hungarian border fence) for $270.

The European Union provides the funds for Hungary’s shameful, wasteful projects (though most of the EU subsidies go straight into the private offshore holdings of Hungary’s mafia government).
The project that preceded the building of the fence months before the refugee crisis was a nation-wide hate campaign in Hungary’s government-controlled media and public billboards, intended to foment racism and fear in the citizenry. This was done in preparation for the callous mistreatment of the refugees in the past few weeks, to be followed on September 15th by new draconian laws, criminalizing the refugees, and mobilizing the military. Hungary, under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, is heading further along the well-planned (and EU-subsidized) road to the creation of a police-state in the land of the 1956 refugees and freedom-fighters.
