In Austria, following successes by the far-right party, a new law has been passed that changes how asylum works in the country. The major controversy is that the law allows a state of emergency in regards to the migrant crisis. This means that a much larger number of applications can be rejected immediately. The law also shortens asylum time to 3 years. This is somewhat of a shock as it signals that European countries are taking legal actions to prevent the influx of migrants. There have even been proposals to build a fence along the Italian border to restrict access into Austria, an idea that seems almost reminiscent of Donald Trump to me.
