What should Poland do with the problem of Belarus? [1800]
Which means you don't hate the other 99.99%
Of course I don't, but it doesn't mean I want them all in my country either.
And first and foremost -
there are legal ways of immigrating to Poland and of claiming asylum in Poland.
Poland could well do with a new influx of people.
Depends which people. I don't want mass immigration from Muslim countries to Poland. The example of Western countries show that the more of them come the less likely they are to integrate in the host society (since they're creating their own bubbles-communities) and that creates problems that I don't want to have in Poland.
Here's an interview with a Pole living in France about the 2023 riots - he's been living in France for 30 years and for 25 years he's been a football coach in JS Suresnes managing the U18 team:

"Wojtyła explains the broad scale of the problem - I think it's not even their fault - he says. - The first problem is family education. These are the kids who are being brought up without fathers. They quit school when they're 14-15 years old, they have no profession, no education. They look at the example at home where often the parents don't work - he points out. - It isn't so simple that I'll have a talk with someone and that person will change the behaviour - he adds.
The Polish coach also talks about the cultural aspect and the environment which is "sucking in" teenagers. - This is the third generation of immigrants in France.
They grew up here, but they don't accept this country - Wojtyła enumerates.
What is even worse is that in every big city there is a huge problem with drug trade. Those are most probably organised groups that recruit young people. A lot of evil is coming from this. A boy who can earn 1000 euro in a day won't go to work. Those are often boys who have weak character. Many of them quickly quit training football with us, because they wanted to get results right away. Many of them don't know how to fight for themselves and sport is first and foremost a lot of effort. They want to be rich right away - tells us Wojtyła."
Later in the interview Wojtyła says that they've managed to "save" many boys from such fate and on individual basis they have something to offer. The problem is when they join the crowd. They spend with coaches only a few hours. Most of the time they spend within their community though and they're influenced by that environment the most.
And more:
"The serious problem started 20 years ago and unfortunately it's only getting worse - he says. - Every time there's an escalation. It looks like this - a mob is running ahead vandalizing everything in their path. They burn schools, kindergartens, libraries. Tragedy - he comments.
The coach is thinking about his future in this country - I'm wondering myself how long I'll be living here. My kids are finishing university, they grew up in France and they also are unsure if they are going to stay. I don't see a future for my grandkids here - he throws up his hands."
