BECAUSE NO ONE HATES JUST MEXICANS:

It's worth delving into just what Orban said in his recent 'mixed race' speech. It is little short of a xenophobic diatribe, in which he refers to migration as 'population replacement or inundation'. According to Orban, countries which allow immigration from other races - and he does say 'race' repeatedly - are committing suicide, especially if those races mix.

There was also a healthy dose of his usual conspiracy theorising, of which nonagenarian financier George Soros is always a favourite target. 'Soros-affiliated troops,' Orban avers, want to 'force migrants' on Hungary. We also got a clue as to where Orban draws some of his whackier ideas, when he advised supporters to read The Camp of the Saints. For the uninitiated, this is a supposedly prophetic 1973 book about how mass migration from the Third World will eventually destroy the West with 'an attack on personality; Christianity...and white skin'.
