Alexander Lukashenko’s neighbours have responded to his passing on of migrants by dispatching their armies, tightening asylum rules and walling off their borders

Fright at the thought of a new influx of migrants affects most of Europe’s governments, too. But what is happening in Poland, Lithuania and Latvia is no ordinary migrant crisis. The people trying to cross into those countries are not victims of Alexander Lukashenko’s dictatorship next door in Belarus, but its guests. Mr Lukashenko engineered their arrival, most of them on direct flights from Iraq. Then, to embarrass his neighbours, he sought to pass them on.

In Tolcze, another nearby Polish village, a farmer retraces his country’s history by charting the changes on the border. After 1945, when the boundary of the Soviet Union jumped 200km to the west, a series of sticks in the ground turned up, twenty paces from his house, cutting his family off from its orchard. After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 a big fence was taken down. But in 2004, when Poland joined the, up went a smaller one, which kept the cows from running off.

Locals often seem more concerned for the plight of animals than they are about the migrants. Two women chatting in Nowy Dwor’s main shop concur that the migrants do not look like real refugees because they are clean and well dressed. One describes a friend’s photo of an Afghan migrant with a “lovely shaved beard and a little moustache” who looked “straight out of a”. Others say the problem is not migrants in general but the risk of malefactors in their midst.

Its so simple why Poland doesnt let illegal refugees in. Polish gov pays to parents of each newborn child in Poland 500pln montley. And from 2022 polish gov will start to support parents in Poland by giving them one time suport 12,000pln on every child plus that 500 monthly cash.

Europe should braze up and take all migrants in, because they displaced them. Why should Europe take only their money and resources?

You know nothing about local people there.

That's because most 'migrants' are capable of taking care of themselves, but want a shortcut to a better life instead of building up their own country,

Maybe pritipatel should take a few pointers from the Polish?

Which animals do this?

nice

I think it's because animals are innocent, while people might have malicious intentions. Animals usually only attack if they are scared or hungry, while people are more nefarious.

Biden to travel to New York and New Jersey to assess Hurricane Ida damageBiden also announced he will visit three memorial sites on the 9/11 anniversary next Saturday to 'honor and memorialize' the lives of nearly 3,000 people killed that day two decades ago. His staff has already scoured Yelp for the best ice cream spots there. I don’t know why presidents do this. It’s a huge disruption to the recovery operations. Highways, airports and locations get shut down, local politicians run out for the photo op. It all so unnecessary. It done for purely selfish reasons. Why hasn't he visited Louisiana?
