Poland’s government plans to spend more than $400 million on improving its border defense by building a solid barrier along the countries’ border with Belarus as immigration levels have recently surged.

The country’s latest announcement came as German police reported an upsurge in the number of migrants illegally entering Germany—the most popular final destination among asylum seekers—after first crossing the Belarus-Polish border and making their way westwards across Poland.
