Walls are being built all over Europe - a direct result of the leftard globalisers causing the displacement of so many millions of people. Good fences make good neighbours, but only when it fits the narrative.
Walls Around The World That Work: Britain Is The Latest Country Bolstering Its Borders
....If you intend to have porous, or no borders, then don’t build a wall. If your intent is to secure your country and enforce the law of the land: you have to erect barriers. This is why Hillary Clinton herself was in favour of border fences as recently as 2006, still bragging about it in 2015. But clearly her marching orders have changed.
This is the world the globalists have created with mass migration, endless wars, and even stupid drug policies.
ISRAEL’S WALL
Even the left-wing Slate magazine was forced to admit: “…the Israeli fence is very efficient. The number of fatalities from terror attacks within Israel dropped from more than 130 in 2003 to fewer than 25 in 2005. The number of bombings fell from dozens to fewer than 10”.
The country has barriers with the West Bank, Gaza, and Egypt, and is now constructing a barrier with Jordan.

HUNGARY’S WALL
This has been one of the most effective barriers, given the speed at which it was erected, in recent times.
When the migrant crisis was still in full swing last year, Hungary began closing the West Balkan migrant route, blocking people marching through from Serbia in September, and cutting the country off from unwanted incursions from Croatia. Migrant numbers went from 10,000 illegal crossings a day, to just 29.
While some of this can be attributed to a slow-down in crossing attempts, this cannot explain the entirety away. Hungary’s wall worked.

MACEDONIA’S WALL
So effective is Macedonia’s wall that migrants have been storming it en masse in an attempt to break it down. These are the scenes some people want to avoid on the U.S.-Mexico border, and to avoid them, they’d rather allow illegal crossings to continue.
But the number of illegal crossings dropped by 90 per cent after Macedonia strengthenedits border with Greece, according to figures from the European Union’s own border agency Frontex.
In March of this year, 4,930 people crossed the Greek-Macedonian border illegally, just 10 per cent of the figure for the same month last year. Again, while some of this can be attributed to the decline in crossing attempts, that decline itself was prompted by the erection of the barriers. Migrants stopped attempting to use the route, and thus the “pull factor” was eradicated, when they found out that walls stood in their way.

WALLS AROUND THE WORLD
Kenya, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have all built walls which have scarcely been referred to as “racist” or “xenophobic” in the same way Mr. Trump, or indeed Mr. Orban or Mr. Netanyahu’s walls have been. There is a double standard for walls around the world.
In 2004 the border fence set to be erected between India and Pakistan was lauded by the liberal New York Times. Their headline read: “India and Pakistan: Good Fences Make Good Neighbors”.
The United Nations itself – a bulwark of the globalist establishment – still enforces a 52-year-old demilitarised zone in Cyprus, complete with barbed-wire fencing, concrete walls, watchtowers, and even minefields.

And Spain, in their African enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, have strictly enforced border barriers without which anyone could set foot on European Union soil in Africa and claim asylum. Again, the policies of the globalists, via the EU, created a situation within which it was impossible to not have walls.....
