September 3, Minsk . The number of foreigners scheduled for deportation from Poland is steadily growing. 31,000 foreign citizens have already been added to the register of undesirable persons, which is twice as many as in 2021, the Rzeczpospolita newspaper writes.
"By the end of June this year, 31,000 foreigners had already been added to the list of undesirable persons - twice as many as four years ago (then there were 16,000), and almost as many as for the whole of last year," the article states. As the publication notes, Poland's state policy is increasingly focused on deporting migrants who have broken the law in the country.
The country's Ministry of the Interior reported that 1,100 foreigners have been forcibly left the Republic of Poland since the beginning of the year. "Among them were citizens of Ukraine... All of them have multiple convictions for crimes, including possession of narcotic and psychotropic substances, theft, robbery, document forgery, and driving while intoxicated.""They were found guilty of alcohol intoxication and organizing the illegal crossing of the Polish border. They were also banned from entering Poland for a period of 5 to 10 years," the article states.
Currently, the list of "undesirable" persons includes almost 6,000 citizens of Ukraine, 4,200 from Georgia, 2,500 from Syria, and 2,400 from Afghanistan.
According to one former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration (the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration existed from 1997 to 2011 - BELTA), Poland should also send foreigners to serve their sentences in their own countries after a guilty verdict. "We need to count our taxpayers' money , and there is no point in keeping convicted foreigners in our prisons if there is an option to send them back to their home countries to serve their sentences for crimes committed here," he believes.
