Poland Plans Referendum Asking If Voters Want 'Thousands of Illegal Immigrants'

Poland's ruling party wants to ask voters in a referendum whether they support accepting "thousands of illegal immigrants from the Middle East and Africa" as part of a European Union relocation plan.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced the referendum question in a video published on social media on Sunday, Sky News reported.

It comes as his conservative Law and Justice party bids to stave off a challenge from the opposition in a parliamentary election in October and suggests it is seeking to use migration in its campaign - a tactic that helped it take power in 2015.
