Violence will only cause more violence.
If a black bear runs away from someone and winds up cornered, what do you suppose the bear will do? If it has cubs, we all know what it will do.
I think that notion applies here.

My heart weeps for the poor children and genuine refugees caught up in this circus - though its getting harder and harder to feel compassion as their actions speak the opposite of the sob story the media is trying to put on us.

I have just watched the news ... and it looks like they are using babies
and toddlers as hostages/currency to get to the front of the angry crowds
(mainly young men) as has already been said.
The babies and toddlers are being held up and waved above the heads and
with all the pushing and shoving crowd pressure etc. are in danger and liable
to get hurt or crushed at the very least.
If anything happens to any of the children (as it did with the two boys
drowned at sea) ... I would hope it will be noted that it was the parents
who put their children into this danger, and not the police or politicians
of the country to blame.

Alliances can change. Interests determine the alliances.
This flood of refugees could truly turn the EU back into a smattering of self-serving nation states, each thinking their neighbor isn't doing their part or holding their own, and thus becoming an economic and cultural liability. If the benefits of the EU membership shrivels and the disparity grows between the richer and weaker countries, some will drift away, or form mini-alliances perhaps sparking mini-skirmishes that creates more instability.
Europe loses.

Hungary took the EU benefits greedily enough now they they should be forced to share in its responsibilities.
I don't believe the refugees want to stay in that [email protected] anyway.

See. It doesn't say anywhere in there you have the right to to enter any State at all. All that does is confer freedom of movement within a State. The second part just guarantees the right to leave any State and return to your own, not someone else's.
Mogens Blicher Bjerregaard, the EFJ President said, “It is incomprehensible to see an EU country like Hungary constantly violating press freedom and human rights. The European Commission and international institutions must take action against these serious violations.”
“It is a prerequisite for EU member states to respect the EU Charter on fundamental rights which sets out standards on media freedom and freedom of expression.”
Men, women and children fleeing war and persecution deserve real support, including asylum.
I ask those standing in the way of the rights of refugees to stand in their shoes.
People facing barrel bombs and brutality in their country will continue to seek life in another.
People with few prospects at home will continue to seek opportunity elsewhere.
This is natural. It is what any of us would do for ourselves and for our children.
I commend those countries that are admirably doing all they can for people in need.
Liberal biased news, that's what you get.
SERBIAN-HUNGARIAN BORDER — Hungary's right-wing government shut the main land route for migrants into the European Union on Tuesday, taking matters into its own hands to halt Europe's influx of refugees.
