  6. Isn’t asylum a legal process where someone in a dangerous situation can seek asylum in another country? When it comes to protecting the border, it’s about illegal immigrants, not legal ones. So why do we need to suspend claiming asylum? Please explain to me, I’m lost 🙁

  7. So this is a response to Russian meddling on the Belarusian border right?

  9. Aren’t we only required to grant asylum to neighbours? What does this law change? I don’t see any Germans seeking asylum.

    Is it against Russians, Belarusian and Ukrainians seeking asylum? The rest can simply cross the border anyway.

  11. Nice picture, but why no source ?

    Imho, it should be banned here to just post pictures without any sources.

  14. [Link to the amendment](https://orka.sejm.gov.pl/opinie10.nsf/nazwa/924_u/$file/924_u.pdf)

    TL;DR (thanks ChatGPT):

    The amendment to the **Act on Granting Protection to Foreigners in Poland** introduces the concept of **”instrumentalization”**, referring to actions by foreign states or entities that facilitate illegal border crossings in a way that could destabilize Poland’s internal situation.

    # Key changes:

    ✅ **Temporary restriction on applying for international protection** in cases where national security is at risk. The **Council of Ministers** may suspend application processing for up to **60 days** (extendable with parliamentary approval).
    ✅ **Exceptions** – applications can still be submitted by **pregnant women, unaccompanied minors, individuals in poor health, or those at risk of serious harm**.
    ✅ **Border guards may refuse applications** from individuals who have forcibly crossed the border.
    ✅ **New grounds for denying protection** – posing a **threat to national security** or having been convicted of serious crimes.

    The law **enters into force the day after its publication**.

  18. You are not a refugee anymore after you crossed 3-4 different countries on your way to Europe. You are now a migrant like everyone else and you should wait in line to legally enter after submitting all legal documentation. If you “lost” all your documents that is your problem. Go back, renew them and try again.

  20. When do we have elections again? Becouse it looks like he knows his people will loose and just wants to make sure whoever gets the seat will need to deal with a lot of his BS.

  25. Based Poland. Hope the rest of us grow some balls and follow.

  27. Wish we had your mentality when it came to immigration here in Denmark, yet we are still some of the strictest in Western Europe.

  28. Stupid question, when Russians inevitably attack Baltics what will be the fate of refugees from these countries?

  29. …and who told him to do that ?

    Obviously it’s impossible he could of come up with something like this….

  30. I’m all for helping people who run from the war or persecution, even if they crossed 20 borders, The issue is the people who attempt crossing EU borders often are not actual refugees or they look nothing like them

    Women with children? Sure Or erderly people
