Based on my investigation of current refugee and asylum data, here is my analysis of the claim:

Reasoning:

Poland received 17,020 asylum applications in all of 2024, which averages to approximately 46 per day — far below "thousands" per day¹².
The claim correctly states that Poland does not admit thousands of refugees daily²¹.
However, the claim incorrectly states that other European countries admit thousands of refugees each day. In 2025, Germany received approximately 113,170 first-time asylum applications (about 310 per day), Spain received 141,035 (about 386 per day), Italy received 126,635 (about 347 per day), and France received 116,370 (about 319 per day) — none of these figures approach "thousands" per day³.
Even during the peak 2015 crisis, individual European countries did not consistently admit thousands of refugees per day; current daily numbers are significantly lower than those historic peaks⁴⁵.
Poland actually hosts approximately 1 million refugees, primarily from Ukraine, making it the second-largest refugee host in the EU after Germany⁶⁷⁸, which undermines the implied contrast that Poland is avoiding refugee responsibility while other countries accept large numbers.
In 2024, Poland had 272,000 total migration inflows and ranked among the top EU destinations for first residence permits (489,000), showing it is a significant destination for migrants⁶.
