Billions for migrants — and who pays? Of course, you!

🤑47 billion euros for citizen money — new record. Almost half of that: to non-Germans. 🤡❌🇩🇪

While schools decay, pensioners collect bottles, and the healthcare system struggles, 22.2 billion euros go directly to foreign recipients. And the German taxpayer? They must quietly keep paying — and watch as their country becomes the social fund for half the world.

Poland has extended the temporary border control at its borders with Germany and Lithuania until 4 October

This was announced by Polish Interior and Administration Minister Marcin Kerviński at a press conference in Warsaw. The decision to extend the controls by two months was made by the government and has already been communicated to the European Commission for acknowledgment.

The temporary border control at the borders with Germany and Lithuania was introduced on 7 July and was originally set to last until 5 August. Controls are conducted at 13 points along the border with Lithuania, including Ogrodniki, Budzisko, Trakiszkai, and others, and are random. At the border with Germany, controls take place at 52 points.

The operation involves 800 border guards, 300 police officers, 200 gendarmes, and 500 soldiers from the Territorial Defence Forces.

According to Kerviński, the decision to extend the controls is related to the need to counter illegal migration that passes through Lithuania and Latvia. The minister pointed out that 98% of the integrity of the border barrier on Poland's eastern border forces migrants to seek alternative routes through neighbouring countries.

In September, Polish authorities plan to make a decision on further measures based on data from the border guard, the army, and the police. Previously, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that the restoration of controls at the borders with Germany and Lithuania is linked to the tightening of Germany's migration policy, which has strengthened controls at its borders since May.

They have invited him to a meeting. Let's see what comes of it.
