Austria's right wing government will stage border defense war games. Interior Minister Herbert Kickl said the drill will show that his country is serious about stopping illegal immigration and that there will be no "waving people through and registering them" as their predecessors did, which encouraged and increased mass immigration.

Austrian troops will carry out exercises preparing the nation's border defence against a migration influx later this month after Balkans police warned 80,000 third-world migrants are heading towards Western Europe.

With up to 1,000 police officers, soldiers, and riot police set to take part in June, the drill will be Austria's largest ever border patrol exercise, according to Kronen Zeitung, Austria's best-selling newspaper.
