The Video

A video has surfaced showing a migrant standing at the Poland-Belarus border, pleading for help. Surrounded by others in the same situation, he claims Polish border guards have warned them that if they cross illegally, they will be beaten or shot. His wife is sick, his child is freezing in the cold rain, and by morning, he fears the worst. His appeal? To be let into Poland for a better life.

But here’s the big question—should Poland allow them in?

A Humanitarian Crisis or a Legal Issue?

Poland, like many European countries, faces an overwhelming migration crisis. While many migrants follow legal pathways—applying for asylum, going through the proper immigration process—others attempt to force their way in. Why should they be fast-tracked while others wait and do it legally?

The man in the video speaks of needing help, but why not return to his home country and apply properly? Poland has laws, just like any nation, to protect its borders and its people. Is it fair to those who go through the right channels to let others in simply because they made it to the fence?

Europe’s Migration Nightmare

Western Europe is already struggling under the weight of mass illegal migration—crime rates have surged, social services are overwhelmed, and cultural tensions are rising. Poland has largely avoided these issues by taking a strict stance on its borders. Many Poles believe this is the right approach.

But then, there’s the other side—human lives are at stake. Children, women, families stuck in brutal conditions. Should humanitarian aid override national security and legal processes?
