Hungary PM: ‘Hungary is not an immigrant country and does not want to become one’

Sep 9, 2017 8:16 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has long made it clear that he will not surrender to European Union quotas on asylum seekers; he has also declared to Angela Merkel that “we won’t pay for YOUR error” in the face of Germany’s Muslim migrant crime and chaos. He has made his concerns clear about Muslim migrants’ unwillingness to assimilate. Orban has remained sternly resolved to keep his country free and democratic, declaring that the “independence and freedom of European nations are at stake.”  Now he has stated, even more stridently:

Whereas other European nations have become immigrant countries due to obligations stemming from their colonial legacy, Hungary “has no colonial past” and thus feels no such obligation toward nations it has tried to dominate.

Unfortunately, Orban is wrong on one front: if colonial “sins” were committed in the past, this does not mean that Western countries must forever be indebted to anyone and everyone. The West has developed societal models of human rights and freedom for all. To jeopardize those freedoms is a catastrophic mistake, except, apparently, in the eyes of those who wish to subjugate the West under Sharia norms.

Western nations have long been immigrant-friendly countries, yet immigrant screening was once stringent, so as to ascertain whether those immigrating to foreign Western nations could contribute to the society to which they were coming. It was a two-way street, as it should be. Now the West is faced with a migrant/refugee crisis that it was unprepared for, particularly in light of the global jihad, of which the hijrah is a part.

With respect to Hungary, every nation is sovereign and must assess its own needs, which Orban is doing. Hungary, in fact, recently offered asylum to a young Iranian Christian convert who Sweden was about to deport back to Iran to face likely torture and death.

Far too many other Western nations are being lead by reckless leaders who have gone overboard in their immigration policy, opening their borders so wide that their societies are now at risk. Even though Islamic State mujahideen have announced that they are infiltrating the refugee stream to the West, they have been essentially welcomed. Islamic supremacists who regard “infidels” as inferiors, and Muslim Brotherhood members who have announced their plans in a strategic memorandum to destroy Western civilization from within are also welcomed. Anyone and everyone is welcomed, no matter how dangerous and damaging he or she might be to the society and the people of his new country.

The West has gone from being intelligently welcoming for the good of the whole to being reckless without accountability.

According to Orbán, many European leaders agree with Hungary’s policy on migration but are afraid to say so publicly. He also said that due to the recent surge of migration into Italy, the southern European nation may soon join Hungary and others in looking to secure their national borders.

PM Viktor Orban: ‘Hungary Is Not an Immigrant Country and Does Not Want to Become One’, by Thomas D. Williams, Breitbart, September 8, 2017:

Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s redoubtable Prime Minister, has made it clear that Hungary has no intention of caving into pressures from the European Union (EU) to become an “immigrant country,” in a new letter to Jean-Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission.

In his September 6 letter, Orbán tells Mr. Juncker that unlike other European nations, “Hungary is not an immigrant country, does not want to become an immigrant country and cannot accept being forced to change this.”

Whereas other European nations have become immigrant countries due to obligations stemming from their colonial legacy, Hungary “has no colonial past” and thus feels no such obligation toward nations it has tried to dominate, he said.

France, for example, held territories in enormous geographical areas throughout Africa comprising over a dozen countries. Some of their local currencies are still directly linked to the French Central Bank.

In his letter, Orbán takes issue with Juncker’s definition of solidarity, saying that the transformation of Hungary into an immigrant country against the will of Hungarian citizens, “is not solidarity” but “violence.”

The prime minister also expressed his consternation with the European Commission’s unwillingness to aid Hungary in defending Europe’s borders.

“I was stunned and puzzled to read that you and the European Commission refuse to provide funds for the fence,” Orbán writes. “I am convinced that those who do not support the fence cannot and do not want to protect the citizens of the European Union.”…….

Earlier this summer, the prime minister asserted that the EU has adopted migration plans drafted by left-wing billionaire George Soros to bring in a million migrants per year, which militates against Europe’s best interests. Soros has proposed the creation of an EU immigration authority to remove the responsibility for immigration from individual EU Member States, he said.

Not long afterward, Italian media exposed a Soros-sponsored “Immigration Network” in Italy by tracing the provenance of pro-immigration funding back to dozens of organizations financed by Soros’ Open Society. Journalist Luca Donadel uncovered direct ties to Soros money in a web of 41 different groups linked to immigration.

According to Orbán, many European leaders agree with Hungary’s policy on migration but are afraid to say so publicly.

He also said that due to the recent surge of migration into Italy, the southern European nation may soon join Hungary and others in looking to secure their national borders.

      So proud to be 3rd generation Hungarian-American. Always thought Orban was like Trump…but Trump can take lessons from Orban.

    If other cultures are so great and we want to be one big happy multicultural family then why do all these people have to leave their countries and go to Europe or other places? Same case could be made for Mexico and South America. If latin culture is so wonderful (and I am not saying its not), then why do so many need to come here? Why not fix their own countries? We had a civil war to fix some of our problems. We didn’t leave and go somewhere else.
    I know the answer of course, at least in regards to Islam. It’s about spreading it and dominating the earth.

      “We didn’t leave and go somewhere else.”
      Umm… Yes we did… The United States was founded by people fleeing England and European countries.

      • Westman says

        Sep 9, 2017 at 11:36 am

        John’s assertion was linked to the Civil War, not the founding. And he’s right; the hijrah to Europe has been made, in the majority, by military age men who will not fight to preserve or improve their own nations. Millions have been “driven” out of their country by 30,000 fighters?

        Of course, anyone with any sense living in the dregs of the ME, having ISIS on one side and Merkel’s green-land siren song on the other, would say goodbye! and make for sans sand. The hijrah to Europe is an irrefutable indicator that Islam is the colossal economic failure of the 21st Century.

        Yes, but they went to be able to have their own religious freedom, their purpose in emigrating was not to force their religion on others.

      • patriotliz says

        Sep 10, 2017 at 8:46 pm

        All current nation-states were founded by a group of people invading some territory w/ at least some pre-existing inhabitants who were weaker. So too, IslamoNazism is stronger than the weak Europeans and the IslamoNazi invaders are well-documented, imperialistic, warmongering conquerors for past 1400 years…they invade non-Muslim countries and take over. Their secret weapon against the West…is pretending to be a “religion” and taking advantage of the “multicultural” anti-national suicidal propaganda.
        Good-bye Europe and then North America and…good-bye to human rights, science, symphonies, art and peace on earth. Wherever Muslims migrate en masse, Hell follows.

      John W.: You’ve hit on one of the major lies of today’s educational system, to wit, “all cultures are equal”.

      They’re not of course; far from it. Western civilization is immeasurably superior to anything islamic, and in every way: Disposable wealth, personal freedom, enlightened governance, and the resultant flowering of art, architecture, music, philosophy, etc.

      Contrast to sharia law? [crickets]

    Hungary is correct. These people view anyone not an Islamists as inferior to them. Part of the Jihad is to breed the host country out of existence and we see that happening already in Germany. But because they marry their first cousins, the kids oft times have serious mental or physical disabilities and they are bankrupting the German socialist medicine cabal. They love states with strong welfare that way they don’t have to provide so much for their children, as the state will do it.
    No, someone needs to tell Angie that she and Soros have pretty much turned most of western Europe into a Shitastan.

    POINTS SCORED!!!

    Orbán writes. “I am convinced that those who do not support the fence cannot and do not want to protect the citizens of the European Union.”

    Western politicians have abandoned the wishes of the voters in pursuit of bribery from international money interests. Those ‘interests’ are related to oil… the Gulf states and Shell Oil and Exxon and the Bilderberg Group and the big banksters. This is monstrous mountain of colossal greed. They are wrecking Europe because they have an agenda of greed and unopposed power

    Orban’s ruling party Yobbik is as much anti-Sionistic (read – anti-jewish) as much anti-muslim one.
    That’s what you’ll never be told.
    And yes, America needs a president like Oraban)))

      Jobbik rally against World Jewish Congress in Budapest
      Jobbik said the rally was a protest against what it said was a Jewish attempt to buy up Hungary.
      The party, which says it aims to protect Hungarian values and interests, is the third largest in parliament.
      It regularly issues anti-Semitic statements.
      The event in Budapest on Saturday was billed as a tribute to what organisers called the victims of Bolshevism and Zionism.
      “The Israeli conquerors, these investors, should look for another country in the world for themselves because Hungary is not for sale,” party chairman Gabor Vona told the rally, according to Reuters news agency.
      Marton Gyongyosi said Hungary had “become subjugated to Zionism, it has become a target of colonisation while we, the indigenous people, can play only the role of extras”.

        I’ve heard from a Hungarian friend that Orban is not as wonderful as people around here have assumed. It’s good that he’s preventing Islamic immigration. But as for anti-Semitism, I only hope Orban isn’t anti-Semitic. Soros is not helping there.

          Sep 9, 2017 at 12:31 pm

          It is a very thin line between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Very thin. Israel is the only free country in the entire Middle East and the Jews didn’t steal the land which is now Israel but either bought it or won it in warfare.

          I am highly suspicious of anyone who says they are an anti-Zionist because Israel is the canary in the coal mine of Western Civilization and one knows this or should know it. As Israel goes, so goes the West.

        • Shmooviyet says

          Sep 9, 2017 at 12:52 pm

          Agreed; Orban is adopting the right attitude for protection of his country’s sovereignty.
          But his assertion that other countries ‘owe’ never-ending immigration to the world due to a ‘colonialist history’ sounds similar to declarations being pushed by the modern brownshirts and paid malcontent protesters.
          America did not ‘owe’ entry to my immigrant parent.

          Wellington,

          “I am highly suspicious of anyone who says they are an anti-Zionist because Israel is the canary in the coal mine of Western Civilization and one knows this or should know it. As Israel goes, so goes the West.”

          Recently, when I ‘ran into’, and began talking to a history major at a local college, I could tell he was getting a nice dose of ‘anti-Israel’, ‘pro-Palestinian’ viewpoints without questioning such.

          At times, what astounds me, is the criticism I will hear from Jewish friends about the ‘Muslim hatred’ by Jewish people in Israel. But they have never yet uttered a word about the Jew hatred of the MB and other Islamists.

          Go figure.

      Vladkoval, don’t make false statements! Orban has nothing to do with the very small party of Jobbik, his party is the FIDESZ (Young Democrats Alliance). There is no other politician in Hungary who would be a better Head of State (Prime Minister) than Orban!

    If there is a notable national leader in Europe, it is Viktor Orban, who leads a rightful nationalist nation that is proud of its Hungarian sovereignty. The leaders of the indentured nation-states of the EU should take notice that Orban is true to his people, and his stand should be a lesson to all of those “former” nations who reached for Socialist would-be benefits of the EU and instead received the only benefit realized as EU membership, periodic orders from Brussels that it has arranged to send its next allocation of hostile migrants. Such people come not to abide by national laws, but to disregard such laws and respect to the host nation’s established government, while establishing their shariah law and the directives as required in the quran. Immigration policies should bring assets to host nations, not the problems the EU issues, which are impediments to peace and freedom.

      It is very important that he continues to stand up to Merkel, and that he has Czecho and Poland onside.

      This will enable the fall of the the EU far sooner than it would have imploded otherwise. Then the various governments will be able to decide immigration matters for themselves, instead of being forced to accept millions of them by the EU.

      It is the EU which totally destroying Europe and European culture.

    Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban will be remembered as one of the saviours of Europe; perhaps a smaller authentic Europe stretching from the eastern Mediterranean up to the eastern Baltic Sea. The Magyar ancestors residing in central Asia were obliterated by Mongol armies long ago, so the lands of Hungary, greatly diminished in area following WW2, is the remaining home of the Hungarian People and wont be shared with alien supremacists.

    OK, so Orbán hates Muslims and Jews…We can hope/pray he doesn’t inspire vicious cruelty towards others.

    I am glad he at least helped out a desperate, Iranian Christian refugee….

    I hope he is willing to help out more Christians and others in such predicaments.

    What he said – “Hungary is not an immigrant country, does not want to become an immigrant country and cannot accept being forced to change this.””

    what he should have said – “Hungary is not a Muslim country, does not want to become a Muslim country and therefore will not admit Muslims within its gates now or at any time in the future”.

  18. dumbledoresarmy says

    Sep 11, 2017 at 10:29 am

    Right now, much of the time, the word ‘immigrant’ seems to be interchangeable with the islamic term “muhajir”.
