French politician: Immigrants are better off dying of frost than entering Europe.
In an interview referring to the migrant crisis on the Belarusian-Polish border, a French politician said that these migrants should never be allowed to enter Europe and that they should die of frost, rather than entering Europe.
“Europe’s job is to support Europeans in the first place,” he told BFM.
“Certainly we should not open the border (to immigrants from Belarus to Poland) and they should not be welcomed, and most of these immigrants are dangerous,” the French politician added.
“Should we leave these immigrants behind barbed wire to die of the cold,” the network reporter asked, to which he replied: “Yes, of course, I mean absolutely yes.”
The network reporter, who still did not understand the politician’s answer, asked again: “Should we let them die from the ice?” “If the opposite is the case, we will be attacked by immigrants,” O’Dell said.
In recent days, thousands of refugees have settled on Belarus’ border with Poland, and Polish authorities have prevented migrants from entering the European Union by placing barbed wire and deploying troops on the border.
The situation on the Belarusian-Polish border is dire, with asylum seekers facing food and water shortages in extreme cold.
