If that is so, why are people from the middle east and Africa risking their life to reach central Europe and northern Europe, instead of going for eastern countries like Poland?
It is not only there is a real threat because of the Russian invader to start a war against neighbor countries like Poland and other eastern countries, but also, we could say northern and western Europe has more tolerance to embrace people from all over the world and be open minded with immigration and allowing good working people to start their new life there, instead of refusing entrance to them into their republics. That is a good reason why many people in my country have decided to move to Central and Western Europe instead eastern Europe.
It is not only about finding good places to live, but also societies which are willing to open up their arms to help others, in some ways.
As someone who lives in Eastern European country, I'm kinda happy that we're not same like Western or Northern European countries. And I hope that we're not going to become new American Dream.They in West simply have way too much problems with refugees - increased crime rates, unemplyement and living from benefits, risk of terrorism and etc. While we have only one really big problem - mad neighbour who would like to occupy us.
Though, it's not that we don't have problems with refugees at all. They're trying to reach Poland and Baltics through Belarus border:
