I have not been following any news related to Hungary or really anything going on in Eastern Europe, so when I saw the headline I did not understand the motivating factors. I thought that this might be a progressive policy to help out women with a high number of children (and it is), but it is not motivated through benevolence as I thought rather it is a protectionist policy aimed at increasing their population. I was very surprised.

Demographic collapse is the main plot line in most of Europe and especially Eastern Europe.

thank you for providing your judgement on benevolence of policies in countries and regions you admit not following. At least you're "morally right"...

As I Mexican I am only surprised by how building a wall came to be this hate crime by the USA. The majority of Mexicans support building a wall on our southern border and the distrust of immigrants is highly warranted. I can only see that the US wants one of their own as reasonable. Plus, if the militarization of the US-Mexico border leads to decreased drug and sex trafficking it would be a net positive for Mexico. Popular opinion is that the only problem it would bring would be that a lot of this immigrants would (unlawfully, of course) choose to make Mexico their home. People are shocked that there has been quite a bit of support for immigrants by our government when we have plenty of issues with our own people (lack of jobs, opportunities, very low quality education, famine) to be concerned for the welfare of strangers. Plus the immigrants reputation is earned; South American gangs have become a scourge of our cities outskirts.
