. Orban believes that illegal immigrants arriving in Europe pose a public security and terror risk and that there is a clear link between illegal immigrants and a rising threat of terrorism

. Orban has also described the arrival of asylum seekers in Europe as "a poison" and has said that Hungary does not want or need "a single migrant"

.However, there is no evidence that immigrants in Hungary have done any harm to people or the country. During the 2015-16 European migrant and refugee crisis, the European Union asked Hungary to find homes for 1,294 refugees, but the Hungarian government spent approximately 28 million euros on a xenophobic anti-immigrant campaign instead of accepting the EU decision

. Moreover, Hungary's treatment of refugees is tied to a strain of Hungarian anti-Semitism and xenophobia that dates back to the end of World War II

.In conclusion, Hungary's Prime Minister is against immigrants due to his belief that they pose a public security and terror risk. However, there is no evidence that immigrants in Hungary have done any harm to people or the country.
