The Polish parliament has passed a law allowing border guards to immediately deport migrants crossing the border illegally.

Guards will also have the power to reject international asylum applications without consideration. Human rights groups accuse Poland of wanting to legalize the return of migrants.

Poland and the EU have accused Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko of facilitating an influx of thousands of migrants. The European Union says it is trying to destabilize neighboring member states as a form of retaliation against sanctions.

Under international law, anyone seeking international protection must be granted access to the asylum process, even if they have crossed the border illegally.

Although it is forbidden to send people to places where their well-being may be at stake, rights groups have accused Poland of withdrawing migrants for months.

At least six migrants have been found dead near the border with temperatures now falling below freezing overnight. The newly adopted legal amendment must now be signed by Polish President Andrzej Duda, an ally of the government.

As of August, there have been more than 16,000 attempts to cross the Belarusian border illegally, compared to just 120 throughout the past year, the Polish border agency said.

EU member states Lithuania and Latvia have also seen massive increases in migrants from Middle Eastern and Asian countries trying to enter illegally from Belarus since the beginning of the summer.

Belarus has been accused of inciting migrants with the false promise of legal entry into the EU. The Belarusian government has denied the allegations and blamed Western politicians for the situation on the border.
