Hungary Introduces Tough New Border Controls For Migrants Crossing Into The Country

ROSZKE, HUNGARY - SEPTEMBER 15: Migrants are detained by hungarian soldiers and police after they scaled the fence which is illegal under new laws on September 15, 2015 in Roszke, Hungary. Hungary has introduced tough new laws to administer the influx of migrants which became enforceable today. The infamous rail track crossing which saw thousands of migrants cross the border from Serbia into Hungary has now been closed and blocked with a rail cargo truck and razor wire. Migrants are now directed to a controlled crossing point 2km west. Since the beginning of 2015 the number of migrants using the so-called 'Balkans route' has exploded with migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey and then travelling on through Macedonia and Serbia before entering the EU via Hungary. The number of people leaving their homes in war torn countries such as Syria, marks the largest migration of people since World War II. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
