![]() Poland accepts vanishingly small numbers of migrants. “We don’t want terrorists here,” the Polish pensioner says, when asked about EU plans to resettle refugees more broadly across the continent. “Have you seen what they’re doing in the west?” It’s a popular view here, if a baffling one. Poland is little affected by the refugee crisis in Europe, and accepts vanishingly small numbers of migrants. And yet the country has some of the most pungent views on immigration on the continent. A recent survey for the television station TVN found that two-thirds of Poles share the same hostility towards immigrants expressed by the Warsaw grandmother cited above. Hungary government condemned over anti-immigration drive Read more According to a study in 2013 by the Centre for Research on Prejudice – a professional academic centre at the University of Warsaw – as many as 69% of Poles do not want non-white people living in their country. A vast majority believe that immigrants take work away from Poles and that their presence is detrimental for the economy. It’s a view shared more broadly in eastern Europe, despite insignificant migrant flows in all of Poland’s eastern neighbours. Politicians are in a fix. On the one hand, the EU has asked Poland to do more to resettle foreigners in the name of European solidarity. Some of Poland’s partners note that it has done very well out of EU membership. Now is the time to give back. On the other, the ruling Civic Platform faces a tough challenge to be re-elected in autumn elections. It is not the only government finding it hard to stay on the right side of both the electorate and the eurocrats. “People just don’t want immigrants here,” one senior Civic Platform politician says. “They don’t understand them, they don’t like them, and believe that their maintenance is too expensive.” http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/02/poles-dont-want-immigrants-they-dont-understand-them-dont-like-them more@link |

Unless ISIS, and all other terrorist organizations are destroyed Poland's time is coming. It'll only be a matter of time before the bad guys will set their sights on that area of the continent. At this point it's easy for Poland to keep the bad guys out because the bad guys aren't interested in going there, yet. |

Socialism is not a problem. It's the most advanced, fair system of government. The brutal, repressive theocracies so many people feel the need to flee are the problem. (How can you enjoy all the benefits and advantges of living in a Socialist country, yet criticize it...maybe you're Spain's problem.) |

I'm just curious how the Polish would feel if a country that takes a lot of THEIR immigrants (such as Ireland) shut its borders. |

Poland's day is coming unless ISIS and all the other large terrorist organizations are destroyed. I doubt that area of Europe is on their radar, yet. But if the terrorist are not dealt with it will be eventually. |

Is ISIS really going to attack us this weekend? CNN was on at the health club and Anderson Cooper looked awfully concerned about it. (I think he lives in NYC.) |

Sorry, but the main beneficiaries of socialism are the international bankers and if you cannot follow the money trail to see this then you are not very bright. And no, socialism here is no benefit to us whatsoever because we work for our money, do not use the 'free' medical care, and take no 'benefits' from the government. We have only the fear that what we have worked and sweated for all our life may be robbed from us. |
