@@Araknos66 The crime rates for Poland are relatively low in Europe. The statistics don't lie. However taking in migrants you have not vetted who may or may not want to work and who may or may not want to assimilate is not a wise move. PIS already took many legal migrants in, but PO made a scandal out of it. Legal migration is fine. Illegal or forced is not.

@MrNonejm Do note that when PIS allowed migrants on visas this was because most Poles do not want to do certain jobs, such as being a taxi driver or Uber Eats driver. This is legal migration where people are vetted and given temporary visas. These visas can be revoked or not renewed and the documented workers would have to go back to their home countries. This is not the same thing as allowing 1000s of undocumented or poorly documented immigrants who may have no desire to work, or may be a security risk. I don't know why PO is comparing this to the normal immigration that every Western country allows that PIS also had.

@foodchi314 There will be quotas. Poland will have to accept refugees or pay a large amount of money for each and every refugee they refuse to accept.

@zbigniewp1810 And more will be brought in, because why should migration now stop when Europe is taking people in?

@entombed2594 If you cross illegally, you may be fine. Not recommending it for obvious reasons.

@@Araknos66 According to data from the OECD and EU, Poland has lower sexual harrassment and violent crime figures than those countries. So Poles do commit crime but Poland is one of the safest countries, safer than Germany, France, Sweden when it comes to sex crimes and homicide and terrorism than those other countries where immigrants and their second generations struggle to assimilate. So Poles do commit less serious crime than Western Europeans. Meanwhile the crime rates in those refugee countries are even higher than Western Europe. It makes no sense to bring in random people from those countries. What should be done is that those countries need to be fixed, Europe needs to pay back for colonialism and interference and unfair business tactics, and only skilled people who want to come to Poland and can get work should be allowed in. That's what PIS was already doing. Have a good day. There is no need to be ashamed of anything, after all one more terrorist attack is one attack too many. There are many Muslim extremists who have a grudge against the West, it may or may not be a justified grudge, but Poland's not involved here. The French oppressed Algeria and Morocco and still abuse the offspring of the people they brought from those countries. Why should Poles who are less used to foreigners be put in situations where conflict can occur? It makes no sense. Try to think of the big picture and not Poland alone. Colonialism is the problem and BRICS countries know this and in the next decade there will be calls for reparations from the Global South. That's not Poland's problem, that's the problem of Germany, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands, UK, Italy etc.

Many of the people in the west of Poland are from eastern Polish lands which later fell to the Soviet Union. Stalin and co relocated them after WW2 ended westward to the territories reclaimed from Germany, places like Breslau/Wroclaw.
