Europe’s experiments with open borders continues to fail…

Hungary’s parliament authorized the government on Monday to deploy the army to help handle a wave of migrants, granting the military the right to use non-lethal force.
It passed a law saying the army could use rubber bullets, pyrotechnical devices, tear gas grenades or net guns, according to the text posted on parliament’s website.
Hungary, a landlocked nation of 10 million, lies in the path of the largest migration wave Europe has seen since World War Two and has registered more than 220,000 asylum-seekers this year.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban told parliament police were unable to secure all Hungary’s frontiers – which include outer borders of the EU’s passport-free Schengen zone – without help from the army.
“We can defend the Serbian stretch of the border,” he said, adding that fortifications on that 175 km (110 mile)-long section were working better than expected.
