EU's Divided Response to the Migrant Crisis on Poland-Belarus Border

Poland has deployed thousands of troops as its border crisis with Belarus gains momentum.

The European Union has accused Belarus of orchestrating the crisis in an attempt to destablise the bloc.

Why won't anyone within the block take the refugees in?
