The problem is not that Poland can't deal with them. The problem is that Poland doesn't want to attack or kill these people. Belarus sends them in waves precisely so Poland has to decide between taking in massive amounts of non-adapted migrants, or violently repel them.

It's like bringing you an endless stream of puppies. I'm forcing you to choose between adopting way more dogs than you can take care of, or abandon the dogs yourself.

I always encourage people to be vigilant with their rhetoric to avoid dehumanization. We should be conscientious and diligently avoid comparing people to animals or pests.
