Hungarian police have eroded hundreds of migrants into a stark 'Alien Holding Centre' surrounded by 13ft fences topped with razor wire in a new security clampdown on the unrelenting influx from Serbia.The new facility was described by authorities as a 'registration centre' where migrants can be held for some 24 hours and is part of a stepped-up effort to channel the thousands of migrants pouring across Balkan borders every day.It was not clear whether they would have their asylum applications processed there, be sent back to their home countries or allowed to continue their journey to other EU nations like Austria and Germany.
Under European Union rules, migrants are obliged to register in the first EU country they enter and remain there until their asylum requests are processed.But these regulations have been thrown into disarray in recent weeks, with governments becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of new arrivals
