BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungary stepped up its anti-immigration measures on Thursday with plans to introduce a 25 percent special tax on aid groups which support migration.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government has been among the most hostile to immigration in Europe and was re-elected in a landslide victory in April on a pledge to crack down on NGOs it says undermines Europe's integrity by supporting migrants.
