Just go there if you want to see their strong economy and compare it to living in places in Western Europe. It doesn't compare. I loved Budapest and think it's a gorgeous city, but if you want to talk about the economy and services, visit somewhere else. FWIW Hungary is considered a semi-developing country, and France has always been a bit odd economically while still holding up with the UK and Germany with services.
What kind of work did you do there?
My faggot rapist ex's family came over on the Mariel boatlift. A rather prominent line of homosexuality, in fact. Castro should have lived up to his name a little better and cut some faggot rapist balls off. Ultimately Carter's fault for letting them in though. Catholics, faggot rapists, same thing.
The History of Civilization Is a History of Border Walls
...and slavery, empires, feudalism, colonization, genocides, wars, yada yada yada...
But seriously, this isn't a knock against strong borders, just against the argument that because something has been a part of civilization and history means it should continue to be part of it.
The should indicates you think there's an option. It's clear that many things that were parts of various previous civilizations have been left in the proverbial dustbin of history, but we have borders and walls of all sorts, shapes, and sizes everywhere we turn. Moral outrage at a national border or wall indicates one either hasn't thought much on the subject, or has poor critical thinking skills.
I'm not objecting morally to the existence of borders; I'm saying that arguing for something because it's been done for millennia is a poor argument.
I am morally (and ethically) outraged at the treatment of immigrants currently here, though.
