WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- Poland says German Chancellor Angela Merkel is wrong to criticize European Union partners who are refusing to give refugee protection to Muslims.

Poland's deputy foreign minister, Konrad Szymanski, said in an interview Monday on state-run Radio Three that countries such as Poland which reject EU-negotiated refugee quotas are in line with the public mood.

Szymanski was responding to Merkel's criticism of EU countries, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, that have rebuffed EU plans to share responsibility across the 28-nation bloc for sheltering people fleeing war and poverty.

"I believe it is harmful to Europe and is already bringing far-reaching opposition," he said, adding that such views were common in Western Europe as well. He singled out Germany and The Netherlands, saying that people there "feel less and less safe."

Szymanski said forcing migrant quotas on EU nations violates their right to decide their own national policies and threatens European integration.

Last week Merkel discussed migration issues with the leaders of Poland, Hungary, The Czech Republic and Slovakia, nations that are protesting the EU refugee quota system. A Sept. 16 EU summit is to discuss immigration, among other themes.

A private foundation brought some 300 Syrian Christians to Poland last year, but most have since left for Germany.

Well of course. They're in it for the money, *all* of them (no matter what religion). Going to Germany from Poland is like a 10:1 leverage.

So Germany wants another invasion of Poland.

But this time they want to subcontract the dirty work to the Islamic hordes.

Build a wall and let the invading barbarians pay for it.

Well, Poland has their heads screwed on right.

Soon the United States, Britain, Germany, Poland, and I suspect France soon to follow as the tide turns, are about to turn on Islamic inflow with a vengence.

This won't bode well for the E.U. or the U.N.

Western member nations may be slow, but when they build a head of steam...

Thanks Mr. Trump, for getting the ball rolling in June of 2015.
