Błaszczak felt that "scenes from border towns begin to match those from Berlin, Paris or Stockholm - groups of illegal migrants sleeping on benches, in parks, wandering aimlessly".
"The Commandant of the Border defender in Szczecin says directly: a preventive measurement against migrants is... to put yourself erstwhile a week in the facility! This is not border protection - this is simply a gag from the Polish state" - he added.
Błaszczak estimated that "in the name of surrender to Berlin Tusk renders Polish security. Is this what 'strong Poland in Europe' looks like? No! No! This is simply a country that stops defending its borders and citizens. Poland cannot be the base of the German migration crisis!".
