Poland’s Border Policies Have Made It Europe’s Safest Nation

European Parliament member Dominik Tarczynski stated on Thursday that Poland’s border policies have helped make it the safest country in Europe.

During an interview, Tarczynski said Poland refused to accept immigrants beginning in 2015 and rejected efforts by other countries to send them there.

“We said no, zero, not even one will come to Poland,” he stated. “We did not let them in.”

Tarczynski added that leaders in Germany and elsewhere initially supported bringing immigrants into Europe for cheap labor but later attempted to shift the burden to Poland.

He noted Poland built a border wall after people tried to enter the country illegally, citing President Donald Trump as an inspiration for the move.

“We spent $2.5 billion on the wall,” he said. “And I must say, Mr. Trump was a great inspiration.”

Tarczynski emphasized that the wall did not stop all attempted crossings, as people tried to destroy it and cross anyway.

Following an incident where an immigrant killed a Polish soldier, Poland changed its laws to allow soldiers at the border to use live ammunition.

“Our soldiers, they have a right to shoot,” he said. “We do not talk. We do. We take action.”

Tarczynski described Poland’s approach as having produced clear results.

“The result is my motto: Be like Poland,” he stated.

He characterized Poland as the safest and cleanest place in Europe, with the lowest unemployment rate and one of the strongest rates of economic growth since the pandemic.

Tarczynski expressed pride in Poland’s transformation after decades of communism, calling the country “a pearl of Europe” and “the last stronghold of normality in Europe.”

He urged other European countries, including France and Britain, to look to Poland’s example.

“Be brave,” he said. “Look at Poland and be like Poland.”
