Hungary: Our Border Fence Stopped The Flow of Illegals

That's not quite true, as 41 people crossed the border on Sunday, but Hungary is bragging that its quickly-erected border fence worked.

Only 41 people crossed into the EU member state on Sunday, the government said.

"The border closure is working, it has effectively stopped illegal border-crossing," government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs told reporters in Nagykanizsa, close to the Croatian border.

...

The figure of 41 represents a new daily record low in 2015 for Hungary, which witnessed up to 10,000 people stream across its borders daily since the summer.

They approved the building of this fence in June, and only began building it in July. It cost $106 million to build the 175 mile long fence.

With this feat of extreme engineering, Hungary becomes the most technologically advanced country in the history of humankind, for building something (quickly) that it's just impossible to build.
