What exactly is your issue? Please enlighten us on what qualifies YOU specifically to tell the veracity of any claim on Polish interior politics.

I just don’t like criminals, no matter where they come from, it’s quite ok but yes selecting immigration is a socially slippery topic

my personal opinion is it’s an all or nothing thing for immigration. you either reduce entirely for all groups or it’s racism and unfair treatment. everyone deserves an equal chance

>you either reduce entirely for all groups or it’s racism and unfair treatment.

Racism would be restricting immigration over skin color. What people want, and a lot of countries have, is immigration based on merit system: education, skill, income, criminal record. There's nothing racist about that.

There's something in-between that could work: allow everyone, kick criminals permanently, and give a path to permanent residence to others, or something like that.

Seems moderate.

I didn’t see race mentioned in the comment?

I just made it softer (though I never mentioned race but economic migration), still can be too sensitive so let it be, just my opinion (I am in Eastern Europe and there the views are rather harsh, compared to Germany or France or Sweden)

You havent said anything wrong about immigration. People who misunderstood you are racist themselves as they have dismissed cultural issues of your country and tried to impose their own views. So dont listen to them, they are just ignorant at best.

>Your racist drivel is offtopic here.

@dang, how about the HN rules here?
