Polish Politician Witold Tumanowicz, of the Confederation party, has slammed the government’s draft law on foreigners, saying it is an opening to mass migration to Poland.
Tumanowicz and fellow Sejm member Krzysztof Mulawa, also from the Confederation party, say mass immigration from culturally foreign countries must be answered with a firm “no,” writes the Do Rzeczy news portal. The pair also want the parliament to be dealing with bills that seal borders and deport illegal immigrants.
The MPs say this new law will instead invite in more migrants and cause heavy burdens on Poland’s education, housing market and health services.
“The pretext of family reunification is even more foreigners at the expense of the Polish taxpayer. You equalize social benefits, pensions, the [Active Parent’ program, even pensions after a month of work, while Poles work hard for years for pennies on pensions,” Tumanowicz pointed out.
“What about criminals? You shorten the time for assessing the threat from 30 to 10 days. Aggressive migrants in centers will still receive money,” he added.
Mulawa called on the government coalition to “control itself,” saying the act is an implementation of EU law, which is a joke, because it was Western Europe, not Poland, that has not been able to cope with migrants so far, and now Warsaw is supposed to listen to decisions from Brussels in this regard.
Mulawa spoke out about several aspects of the law, including the provisions regarding the extension of residency and the elimination of the provision depriving social benefits of aggressive migrants in centers for foreigners.
He also noted the addition of a provision on the admission of immigrants with high qualifications obtained as a result of professional experience as an alternative to higher education. This rule does not even specify how such experience should be proven, potentially opening up the immigration system to further abuse.
