FACT CHECK: Have Israeli and Hungarian Border Walls ‘Proven Remarkably Effective’?
Kush Desai on September 18, 2017

Fox host Tucker Carlson claimed that “in Israel and in Hungary, walls have proven remarkably effective at controlling who crosses borders” during a Thursday segment.

Citing Israel’s and Hungary’s border wall initiatives, Carlson suggested that President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border could effectively stem illegal immigration. “That’s why Democrats oppose [a wall] on our border,” Carlson continued, “not because it won’t work, but precisely because it will work.”

Verdict: True

Migration data confirm Carlson’s claims. The erection of border walls successfully brought down unwanted migration into both Israel and Hungary.

Fact Check:

The Daily Caller News Foundation examined migration data for Israel and Hungary before and after both nations erected border walls. To evaluate Carlson’s claim, TheDCNF sought to analyze if the Israeli and Hungarian walls accomplished what an American border wall would aim to accomplish- stymieing unwanted migration.

Geopolitical and economic instability in northeastern Africa, namely in Eritrea and civil war-struck Sudan, spurred a wave of migration into Israel in the early-to-mid-2000s. Israeli government data reveals that while less than 2,700 “infiltrators” or migrants had illegally crossed into Israel in the decades before 2006, almost 5,000 did in 2007 alone.

Annual flows of illegal migration into Israel peaked in 2011 when 17,268 illegal aliens crossed over into Israel.

Israel’s initially lax policy towards migrants changed following political and social backlash at growing flows of (mostly male) foreigners entering, living and working in the country. Following a near half-decade long push, construction on a wall on Israel’s southern border began in late 2010.

After the wall finished construction in early 2013, illegal immigration almost immediately grinded to a halt.

Given this, tell me again why we shouldn't build the Wall.

Because the Democrats who execute 33,000 babies a month through abortion, need the influx of future voters or the party will never again reach power in the US. This is why Dimbocraps don't want a wall.
