"The standard explanation is “greater cultural similarity.”"

We were part of one nation not that long ago. We are very similar genetically. We speak similar languages. We are almost indistinguishable by looks. Quite similar culture and mentality. And yes, we are both Slavs.

I do not understand why anyone can compare this situation to accepting immigrants from, say Syria. It's like saying that "hey, why you refuse to drink vodka, after all you drink cidre, and both are alcohols, so what's the difference?"

Now that the Syrian refugees have been in Germany and Turkey for a few years have you seen any data that supports or refutes any of the points you made in open borders?

My guess is that Poland will, much like the U.S., be around 90% Black and 10% Indian by the end of the century, though less White than the U.S. due to less inherited institutional wealth. If they go "refugees welcome" so intensely, what's to stop them from importing Christian Nigerians and Congolese?
