But, but, but ... I thought walls didn't work? They don't even have a wall, they have very tall border fences. So it would seem that barriers do work.

Walls in the middle of nowhere dont stop illegals who use planes. This fence in in densely populated Europe and stops people from walking in from Syria. 2 entirely different situations.

Hungary is not their intended destination either.

It's not a wall it's a fence, and it's only 320 miles long, versus the US Mexico border which is 2,000 miles long.

Tens of thousands of migrants and refugees, mostly fleeing unrest in the Middle East and Afghanistan, are pushing their way through the Balkans to Hungary. From there, many are continuing their desperate trip to Germany and other countries in northern Europe. A team of New York Times journalists is documenting their journey.

Looks like the country is doing bad and people aren't migrating there, they're just passing through to Germany and the rest of Europe.

We don't need a wall 2,000 miles long. Just complete the 700 mile long double wall on the most porous areas of our southern border already approved by congress back in 2006. That type of wall where's its already been erected on smaller sections of the border have already proven to be very effective.
