The anti immigrant stance confuses me. I get that this is being used by bad actors to drive a wedge between people, but how is it that people can't see that migrants are needed to keep the standard of living?
The amount of working people compared to the elderly or sick is diminishing, so you either have immigrants, raise taxes, reduce welfare or raise retirement age.
To me, immigration seems like the obvious choice.

The fewer workers exist the higher the wages rise. Look at the compensation for people after pest waves.
Immigration allows the elite to avoid the consequences of their bad politics. If living conditions were good enough people would have children.
Now people are moved instead of moving production processes to where the people are.

That's only true if either the work can't be moved elsewhere. The other option is that output drops to match the available workforce, like in Britain after brexit for fruits and vegetables for example.

I don't mind better politics or living conditions, but look at the nordics. Best places in the world to have a kid and we still can't manage to have 2 kids per couple.
Now people are moved instead of moving production processes to where the people are.
That's been happening for the last 200 years, which is why most manufacturing is in China and other parts of Asia now. But if we want to keep people in work here we need workers, and there's not enough of us.

We have 999 problems and migrants ain't one
-
do You mean, mentioned Konfederacja and the opposition Law and Justice party have only 999 members?
-
Migrants ain't one, because fortunately lawmakers were smart enough to not implement stupid German's migration act, and so let's just leave Poland as it was - non-desired no-migrants (illegal ofc) country

Russia has been spreading misinformation in Poland - a strong supporter of Ukraine - since the first trains of refugees arrived from Ukraine.
The disinformation narratives - though often outright blunt and apparently false - appeal to certain sections of the population, especially to the far right.
For example, Russian disinformation has claimed that Polish children were being thrown out of cancer wards to make way for Ukrainians, that Ukrainians would take away Polish jobs (a false narrative that is also being spread in this thread btw), and much more. Some disinformation campaigns by Russia also tried to impersonate Poland's national statistics agency, asking citizens whether they would be personally willing to house more Ukrainian refugees.
This is part of a foreign influence campaign orchestrated against Poland and Europe, supported by a certain group here on Lemmy. All they aim at is to divide the people, undermine democracy under sometimes absurdely false claims.
