Orban said on Monday in an interview with Hungarian online newspaper veol.hu that migrants who have entered Europe illegally must be deported, the borders need to be protected, and the inflow of migrants has to be stopped.

12 people were killed and 48 injured when a truck was driven into a Christmas market in Berlin last week. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the incident.
