This means something like 8 million refugees coming in. Europe is not even remotely prepared to absorb that right now.
Poland itself absorbed around 4 million people (for basically permanent stay) between 2014-2022, so Europe is certainly able to take in more. Difference is, those 4 million were able bodied workers and now entire families are coming en masse, but as usual it depend on who they are. Brown and black people = “let them drown”, Ukrainians are welcomed right now, but when the tables turn (and they will) they will be relegated to the “slavic untermenschen” in a blink again.
Yup, and this time around the economy is crashing and there’s an energy crisis looming. An influx of millions of people isn’t going to be popular in these conditions I suspect. Especially if many of these people are going to be a direct burden on the system.
