It seems like at least one European country has their head screwed on straight.

(And the dude's name is Donald Tusk? Really? That's hilarious.)

Poland Stops 98% of Illegal Migrant Crossings with a 116-Mile, 16ft-High Border Wall – and Now it’s Adding a Minefield

Poland cut illegal immigration from Belarus by 98% after building a 116-mile border wall – and now Donald Tusk’s Government is adding a minefield. Turns out robust clampdown on illegal entry is okay if it’s from Russia. The Mail has more.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has claimed a £300 million border wall has proven “98% effective” at preventing attempts of illegal migration from Belarus.

“We had large numbers of people who were invited by Russia and Belarus from the Middle East and Africa who were then pushed across the Polish-Belarusian border into Poland,” Sikorski told BBCR4’s Today programme.

Warsaw alleges that Minsk and Moscow have long been waging a “hybrid war”, seeking to flood Poland with refugees to strain the country’s finances and law enforcement resources, and destabilise civil society.

“This year we have completed a big and beautiful fence with sensors overground, underground, with a patrol road alongside it, so hardly anybody gets through that barrier,” Sikorski declared.

He also mentioned a recent amendment to immigration legislation that stipulates migrants attempting to reach Poland via Russia and Belarus can continue to apply for asylum in Poland, but only at consulate buildings in Moscow and Minsk.

The anti-migration fencing was completed in June 2022 and now spans a 116-mile-long stretch of the Polish-Belarusian border, but was subsequently upgraded with surveillance equipment, including CCTV cameras, heat and motion sensors.

They are serious about stopping them. I am surprised the EU does not sanction them.

Of course the landmines will be on the border with Russia and Belarus and this is probably the real reason for the landmines.

That’s why a group of women can walk around at night and not worry.

Over the past couple of years I have visited Greece, Italy, Spain X's 2, Portugal, Czech Republic and Poland. Stark difference in many ways with Poland vs the rest of them. At the time the Russia, Ukraine war had just started. A Fed friend we visited while there said they took in two million Ukrainian refugees and placed all of them with families, not put in camps. The EU is not happy with them over the refusal to not have an open border like the rest of the EU

I took a train from Krakow to Kiev in 1992 and, IIRC, there was a minefield on that border back then. At least it was a no man's land with raked sand and a serious fence and lighting. They change the wheels on the trains when going across the former Soviet border, as they use a different track gauge. That took I think three hours. When we came back, we came through Brest-Litovsk in Belarus and took a taxi to the border crossing and tried to walk across. No go. There the border was a river and there were border guards at each end of the bridge. I have to think Poland is way more strict about that stuff nowadays.

I have a co-worker whos Polish.
As in- Came from there to here 10ish years ago, about 6 years ago she got her American Citizenship. I learned a lot about Poland and the politics from her.

Poland doesn't fuck around.
Ukraine Vs Russia- Ukrainians are fleeing?
We don't want them here! Get on the train, don't get off, keep rollin' till you get to Germany. They're not putting up with the nonsense that the Muslims are bringing to the rest of Europe's door. GET OUT!

Considering Poland's millennia-long history of being divvied up between various powers and a particularly brutal occupation in the 20th century, with the last of the occupiers only leaving ~35 years ago, this is understandable.

Habitual Linecrosser refers to Poland as Europe's Texas:

One of the reader replies to the original Daily Mail article noted that British Parliament just erected a new wall around the Parliament building.

Because walls don’t work… unless you are Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Gates, Lizardman, Congress, or Parliament.

I saw this quote and part of an official statement from Poland:

"Poland will have its borders, even if its on the last map humanity ever draws."
