(ANSA-AP) - ZAGREB, Croatia (AP) - The Hungarian government is
warning migrants not to enter the country illegally saying it is
a crime punishable by imprisonment.
In a full-page advertisement in Lebanon's leading An-Nahar daily
Monday, the government says "the strongest possible action is
taken" against people who attempt to enter Hungary illegally.
Hungary, which closed its border with Serbia on Sept. 15,
erected another steel barrier at the Beremend border crossing
from Croatia to try to slow the flow of migrants. But they kept
coming.
People fleeing violence and poverty in the Middle East, Asia and
Africa are rushing from one European border to the next as they
desperately try to find a way north. Thousands more continue to
brave the Mediterranean in rickety boats as they try to reach
more welcoming countries like Germany and Sweden.
