Helping non-white refugees is criminalised in Poland and Europe. In early September 2021, refugees from Afghanistan were transported from the US military base at Rammstein in Germany to Poland. Afghans who had worked for NATO were forced to flee Kabul after the US army withdrew and the Taliban took over the country. On the basis of a memorandum signed between the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe and the Polish side, Poland has committed itself to accepting 500 Afghans for up to 90 days, i.e. until December 2021. A programme of “adaptation” (as a right-wing Polish government hostile to refugees says) or “integration” (as left-wing activists and NGOs say) has been launched by local NGOs. It was funded by the government. The situation set a precedent: pro-refugee activists, who had condemned the Polish government for pushing back the Polish-Belarusian border, began to cooperate with the anti-refugee government. What is the nature of this collaboration? How do people who believe that “nobody is illegal” cooperate with people who are hostile to refugees and call them “illegal”?
