Poland to build Belarus border wall to block migrant influx

Polish lawmakers on Friday gave the go-ahead to build a controversial wall on the EU member’s eastern border with Belarus, in response to an unprecedented wave of migrants, mostly from the Middle East.

Polish lawmakers approve building a border wall with Belarus at an estimated cost of $407 million in the wake of an unprecedented wave of migrants.

Poland lawmakers approved building a border wall to block migrants and asylum seekers. Thousands are stranded at its Belarus border, many Syrian or Afghan. At least have 7 died from cold or exhaustion, and aid groups are banned from the area.

What people are saying?

paul It’s ironic how most of Europe and the world have willingly accepted millions of Pols but a couple of thousand refugees can’t pass through!

Josh Charlier I’m pro border wall. But to be fair you have to question building a wall on the west side considering what the people on the east side have done to you in the past.
