Illegal immigration is a threat to Hungary and all of Europe, with the biggest risk coming from hundreds of millions of people from the "depths of Africa" looking to escape poverty, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Saturday.
Over 90,000 migrants and refugees have reached Hungary so far this year and it is building a 4-meter (13-foot) high fence on its border with Serbia to stem the flow. While the government had set a Nov. 30 deadline, Orban said the fence would be completed by Aug. 31.
Speaking at a cultural festival in Baile Tusnad, Romania, Orban accused the European Union of failing to defend its citizens from the "masses of illegal immigrants," who he said threatened the cultural identity of European countries and contributed to increased terrorism, unemployment and criminality.
