The European Migrant Crisis and Historical Amnesia: A Personal Testament from Austria | The Liberty Conservative:
"The migrant crisis has, like an uncontrolled blaze tumbling through a dense forest, left few parts of Europe untouched.

Both in point of fact and morally, refugees from communism and migrants from the Third World are not equivalent.
...A native of Budapest, without prompting, launches into something of a tirade concerning the migrant crisis.
...He laments the fact that the majority of migrants are young men who readily commit crime. 
He also decries what he calls “lies”: he emphatically states he and his fellow Hungarians were told the people fleeing terror and bloodshed in the Middle East were families and children, not these young men. 
He feels cheated..."
