Syrian migrants try to enter EU via Hungary and avoid the Mediterranean route

In order to prevent infiltration of migrants into its country through the Serbia borders, the government of Hungary is considering use of its army to secure the southern border. Migrants are pouring in from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia and any decision to send troops to the frontier would have to be approved by Budapest's parliament.
This has been reported on foxnews.com dated 26 August 2015.

The flow of migrants needs to be better controlled and Hungary is preparing laws to make it a crime to cut through the fence or to enter Hungary illegally and is increasing the penalties for human traffickers. Unless deterrent actions are taken, many European cities could face unsustainable situations.
Hungary is also trying to construct a 13-foot-high fence to keep out the migrants, many of whom are from Syria and the large numbers that are crossing the border could become EU’s worst refugee crisis since the end of World War II.
This Balkan corridor for migrants is becoming more and more popular because using this route, the migrants avoid the dangerous boat crossings in the Mediterranean from North Africa to Italy.
