This has been a thing in the last five years only. Prior to PiS all governments have been both appreciative and enthusiastic about the EU. Please don’t tar all Poles with the PiS brush.

The Polish population had a very visceral reaction to the EU attempting to impose anti-Polish measures amid the refugee crisis.

Same goes for Hungary.

They saw what happened in other EU countries where guilt-ridden citizens don't have any respect for their own county anymore, and were not looking to repeat their mistakes.

The vast majority of immigrants are economic migrants that have no right to ask for political asylum, and were let in by left-wing government who—contrary to popular belief—are now hand-in-hand with big companies rather than looking out for workers, and kept letting them in just to keep salaries low and make their masters happy.

Back when I was a kid in Italy I used to pick grapes for something like 15/h, now there are Africans that do it for 4/h and are literally treated like slaves. Very sad.

That's right!

Unfortunately (for the EU) they just got our country back, and they're not looking to give it up anytime soon. I hope that they can get as much money as possible and then leave this nightmare once they're in good shape.

Not bad, uh? I wish Italy had the same courage. Unfortunately even in the middle of a crisis like this one our spineless PM goes to the EU begging Germany for peanuts.
