The Polish government is planning a referendum to ask voters whether they are in favor of accepting "thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa" under a European Union relocation plan, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said Sunday.
More than a million Ukrainian refugees, who are mostly white and Christian, are in Poland, but officials have opposed Muslim refugees and those from different cultures.
Morawiecki announced the referendum question on social media, signaling that his party, Law and Justice, is looking to make migration a prominent issue ahead of the October parliamentary election, according to The Associated Press.
Focusing on migration helped the conservative Law and Justice party take power in 2015.
The Polish government hopes the referendum will be held alongside the parliamentary election on Oct. 15. The question, according to Morawiecki, will be: "Do you support the admission of thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa under the forced relocation mechanism imposed by the European bureaucracy?"
Officials have also recently said that the referendum will include questions about privatizing state-owned enterprises and whether they support raising the retirement age, which was lowered under the Law and Justice Party to 60 for women and 65 for men.
The proposed referendum question about migrants comes eight years after Europe's asylum system collapsed when more than one million migrants, mostly fleeing the Syrian Civil War, entered the European Union and overwhelmed reception facilities in Greece and Italy. The 27 members of the EU have argued ever since about which nations should take responsibility for the unauthorized migrants.

That's not what I saw when I was in Poland last year. A lot of Ukrainians are learning Polish, there's a lot of similarity between the two languages.
“How’s that for diversity?”
Poles and Ukrainians shAre far, far more with each other historically and culturally than either do with folks from the Middle East and Africa.
Hatred of Russians, for one. Now there is also history between Ukrainians and Poles (watch the movie 'Wołyn' if you have the stomach for it), but for the most part, both sides let bygones be bygones. Something the Russians need to learn to do, as well.
You forgot LOCK & LOAD
THE EU is killing itself with that ‘rule’.
I smell the influence of Gyorgy Schwartz!
really. That is crazy stuff.
I have family in France and they are straight up commies, and they weep for black folks in the USA. Not anywhere else in the world, just here.
One way to stop it REAL fast: aliens (illegal or legal) get NO welfare or other public services. And if they commit a crime, they get dropped off on the beach in Rwanda.
In one of them "honest" US Approved Elections?
Poland’s not the US. Despite all US efforts to try to make it so.
I wish that Sniffer Pervert had asked us if we wanted our country flooded with illegals...
Give Soros a chance!
Reminds me of the old SNL when Joe Piscopo played Sinatra: “I got chunks of guys like you in my stool!”
Things change in a year, and these complaints are fairly recent.
How long were you there and how closely were you looking?
I wonder if the EU will somehow try to force Poland to accept the moslem terrorists,cut off their money,or try to expel them from the EU. I’ll wager that they’ll try at least one of those things.
no chance!!!
Here is a thought. Send the illegal invaders back to their s holes of origin
it’s called genocide
It’s not the thousands of illegal immigrants but murderous Muslims that should concern the country. This global migration toward the white Supremacist world is disconcerting.
It's by design. They destroyed the economies of the Third World. The people there are literally starving. They come here out of desperation.
