Poland is not going to let them in

After a week shivering in sodden woodland, the largest group of migrants stuck between the serried ranks of Belarusian and Polish border guards decided to move. We were en route to their camp but they had other plans.
"It's too cold and we are in a place that's quite open, we have no protection from the rain and snow. And all the children are coughing because of smoke," a contact, Dino, told me by voice message as I tried to arrange our meeting. ...
The EU was actually deliberating tougher sanctions on the Belarusian regime. An attempt to hold those involved in the movement of migrants to account - Alexander Lukashenko's lackeys, state-run travel agencies and airlines involved in ferrying migrants to what they hoped would be a better life.
But the German Chancellor Angela Merkel was in also in conversation with the Belarusian leader about how to resolve the crisis. Iraqi authorities were talking of repatriation flights starting this week.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin was not all that keen on Mr Lukashenko's threat to turn off the gas taps from Russia. The Belarusian leader had the air of a rabbit in the headlights.
Still, pitching their tents on tarmac with a tiny bit of cover from the customs awning, repatriation was far from the minds of those I spoke to. They were looking forwards, not back. Just one older woman, sobbing, desperate to go back to her home in Suleimaniya in Iraqi Kurdistan.
"Deport, deport," she begged, one of the few English words she knew.
What is surprising about this particular wave of migrants is that almost all of them come from Iraqi Kurdistan, one of the more stable corners of a troubled country in a war-torn region of the world. Jobs are hard to come by, they said.

Poland is not going to let them in
These are mostly Kurds from Iraq. They are economic migrants.
But the EU doesn’t have jobs for unskilled peoples.
“Deport, deport,” she begged, one of the few English words she knew.
What a great idea.So far, only Poland and Hungary have the guts to say “NO” and mean it.
Let Belarus keep them or...and its a novel idea, I know: send them back.
Wish we had the guts to do the same...

14 Nov: Daily Mail UK: Borders are ‘just a pain in the a***’: Border Force boss triggers row with controversial remarks quoting Pogues rockstar as record 23,500 migrants cross the Channel this year
Paul Lincoln’s remarks were made in speech for departure as director general
Asylum seekers crossing the channel in small boats hit new record of 1,185
He left his position last month as part of Home Secretary Priti Patel’s shake up

Paul Lincoln’s incendiary remarks – made in a speech to mark his departure as director general of the Border Force – comes amid growing anger among Boris Johnson’s backbenchers over the migrant crisis...
Mr Lincoln, who left his position last month as part of a shake-up by Home Secretary Priti Patel, ended his speech by quoting lines from rock star Shane MacGowan, of The Pogues (punk band), saying: ‘People are talking about immigration, emigration and the rest of the bloody thing. It’s all bloody crap.’
The speech, which has been obtained by The Mail on Sunday, concluded: ‘We’re all human beings, we’re all mammals, we’re all rocks, plants, rivers. Bloody borders are just such a pain in the bloody a***.’...

15 Nov: Spiked Online UK: Not even the Border Force believes in borders anymore
The people in charge of Britain have lost all interest in defending national sovereignty.
by Frank Furedi
In recent times, this kind of anti-border sentiment was most often expressed by the European Union. Jean-Claude Juncker, the former president of the European Commission, once called borders ‘the worst invention ever made by politicians’. Juncker coupled his condemnation of borders with a call to support migration. He wasn’t just showing solidarity with migrants, however. He was also expressing a broader hostility towards the very idea of the nation state and those who support it. ‘We have to fight against nationalism’, he said, ‘[and] block the avenue of populists’...
This connection between nation statehood and democracy motivated many of us who supported Brexit. Unfortunately, the UK’s exit from the EU does not automatically ensure a more democratic polity. After all, when the UK Border Force can be run by someone who has more in common with the EU than with those who voted to leave it, it is clear that the battle for popular sovereignty is far from won

Hadn't heard that little detail before. How did they get to where they are now?
*** Hadn’t heard that little detail before. How did they get to where they are now? ***
My understanding is most of the migrants are Iraqi Kurds departing three main points in Iraq’s Kurdish region: Irbil, Shiladze and Sulaymaniyah. They wish to cross into Germany. Three German states border Poland: Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and Saxony. They pay between $14,000 to $17,000,including visas, flights and being smuggled overland once in Europe to their destination.
Dublin agreement states Poland must process all asylum seekers who present at their border. Nobody is bitching that Turkey and Italy do the same thing as Belarus. Why is it a problem when Belarus does it?
Addendum: Why are the Kurds fleeing from places where their supporters, the US, UK, etc, have been pouring in billions of dollars to bring about regime change of which the Kurds are allies and beneficiaries?
Another interesting tidbit.
Air Route to Belarus Closed to Migrants in Bid to Halt Crisis
Hoping to stem the flow of migrants stuck on the border of Belarus and Poland, Dubai banned Iraqi and Syrian passengers from traveling to Minsk.

Just fly to Mexico City and walk to the border. What’s wrong with these “migrats”?
That is rich coming from you.
There is no smuggling going on here. It’s all in the open up to the EU border. The airplane tickets are one way.
.....After a week shivering in sodden woodland, the largest group of migrants should all go home....
Soros is sending in his sock puppet “reporters” now to generate sympathy for the rapists and terrorists to beat down Polish and EU resistance.
Bloody fool obviously does not understand the concept of "society". Useless twit.
Or that of animals. They know where the borders of their territory and the other guy’s territory are. See it in my own yard with feral cats, squirrels, cardinals, and the neighbor’s dogs.
Shoot a few of them. That’s includes the soldiers egging this rabble on.

I have an idea...Go Back Home!
So let's do it, like they do

Nope, I’m telling you that within the EU and the UK there are little to no jobs for unskilled peoples. There are farm picking jobs, but that’s being automated.
Street cleaning - highly automated. Shops are language dependent.
