The constant flow of migrants escaping war has not been easy
for neighboring countries such as Croatia, Hungary and Austria. Croatia has
been dealing with 20,000 migrants as of Wednesday, September 16, 2015.
Subsequently, Croatia has been passing these immigrants along to Hungary, who
then sends them to Austria. Hungary has accused Croatia of breaking an
international law by failing to register migrants as they are sent to Hungary. Now,
a number of migratory individuals, who reached Austria from Hungary, informed an
international news program that Hungary, also, had broken this rule by failing
to register these individual prior to migrating them to Austria. In conclusion
to reading this news article, I could not help but draw the comparison between
the treatment of these migrants to a heard of cattle being dragged place to
place against their will, and not knowing where, or when, the next stop will
be. These people are not cattle and should not be treated as if they were. The Hungarian
minister shared negative comments about Croatia’s minister in regards to the negligent
acts of registration of immigrants to Hungary. Because of this, conflict
between neighboring countries may arise and affect the migrants in a negative
way.
