When there were people freezing near the border, that was on Poland as well.
No. They were in a country considered safe for civilians. There is no active war in Belarus. EU does not have to take anyone, we still do for endangered people, if we back down on that line there it will only get worse and the right wing people will get even more ground.
Nope, absolutely disagree. People were being used as pawns and pushed towards the border by Belarus, where they were freezing and Poland would not let humanitarian aid or journalists reach them. Neither country's government gave a shit about the value of human life.
They where on Belarusian soil.
