Nearly 8,000 Kosovo illegals detained in Hungary in six days.

BUDAPEST.

Close to 8,000 migrants mostly from poverty
stricken Kosovo,have been detained in the past
six days after crossing into Hungary illegally.
Police said amid a rising influx of asylum
seekers.

Since the beginning of February ,over 1,000
illegal immigrants have been arrested every day.
Ninety five percent of them are from Kosovo,
A policewoman confirmed to AFP Tuesday.

Most of them cross into EU member  Hungary
near the southern town of Szeged ,on the Serbian
border.However ,their final destination is rarely
Hungary,but other EU countries in Western Europe.

Prime Minister Vikktor Orban has repeatedly lashed
out at economic  migrants and his ruling Fidesz
,party has promised tougher measures to keep
people out.

A senior Fidesz lawmaker .Antal Rogan ,meanwhile
said on Tuesday that immigrations can be kept
locked  up until their application has been approved
or rejected.
