Belarus and Poland Border Crisis- Patrick Turner

Children caught up in the Belarus-Poland border crisis face bitter nights without shelter

When looking at what is going on it seems like there is a big problem in Europe. The report says that at least 200 children are currently stuck at the border trying to get into Poland. So if you get into Poland you can reach safety from the problems by being able to consider as a citizen for asylum from the other country. I think it should be really important that Poland should be able to stand its ground with what is going on because Belarus right now is allowing for individuals to pay to get into Poland so that they could be able to get into the European Union. I think it is interesting that people are still trying to cross the border because of the fact that they do not have the right to come into the country. But also at the same time, I feel like if you want to come into the European Union you should be able to present a way to allow these individuals to seek asylum from other problems that they are facing. I think it is interesting that they are saying people in Belarus are telling individuals to pay a price to be allowed in Poland. This to me seems like Belarus is trying to make money off of people trying to seek asylum from other countries which should be like a violation of someone's right I would think because you are promising ideas that are not to be followed.
