Hungary maintains strict border controls, but for those who get through, authorities take swift action.
On Wednesday, police found a total of 50 illegal migrants in the country, the National Police Headquarters’ Communications Service announced on Thursday morning.
The majority were found in Csongrád-Csanád County, located in southern Hungary and bordering Serbia and Romania. There, 36 border violators were found in six groups in Ásotthalm, Tiszasziget, Röszke, and Szeged.
Meanwhile, one was found in Bács-Kiskun, also southern Hungary, and 13 in the northwestern county of Győr-Moson-Sopron, which borders Slovakia and Austria.
The detained illegal migrants could not prove their country of origin, their identity, or their right to be on the territory of Hungary, as they had no documentation. They claimed to be citizens of a slew of countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Iraq, Libya, Morocco, Pakistan, Palestine, Syria, and Turkey.
