    Let's check in on Hungary and their ultra nationalism...

    Hungary Added a ‘Slave Law’ to Meet Labor Shortages

    When Balazs Katona couldn’t hire enough Hungarians at his power-tool factory on the outskirts of Hungary’s capital, he tried to recruit skilled workers from other countries. But in a nation with one of the toughest immigration policies in Europe, there were few takers.

    So he turned to people who are often on the margins of Hungarian society: deaf adults. Today, 18 deaf employees are on the production line at the factory, Granit Abrasive, which churns out cutting-and-polishing tool parts for export. That is still not enough. Mr. Katona could use at least 10 more people, but he has few ideas on where to find them.
    automakers like BMW and Audi have factories, is strapped by the policies pursued by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, a fierce nationalist.
    Mr. Orban’s government has discouraged immigrants by erecting barriers, including razor-wire fences, along Hungary’s borders and by limiting work permits sharply for most foreigners. The media is infused with anti-migrant campaigns. A close adviser to Mr. Orban, Laszlo Parragh, the president of Hungary’s chamber of commerce, lamented last year that the country lacked “white-skinned workers with Christian roots.”
    Those workers have yet to show up. And hundreds of thousands of young Hungarians who left in recent years for better-paying jobs in Europe’s big cities are not heeding Mr. Orban’s call to return and serve their homeland.
    The labor shortage has grown so acute that the government recently pushed through a contentious bill to address it. Widely referred to as the slave law, it allows employers to require up to 400 hours of overtime annually from its workers, while delaying compensation for up to three years.

    Well they could do what we did and use law enforcement to enslave a minority group and lease them to companies.

    They just need a good freedom loving American to put that thought into their ear
