There's this Polish homeless dude that always sells newspapers at the entrance of my supermarket. He's always nice and polite to me and my son, so I asked him if he wanted anything while I was in the supermarket. His eyes lit up, and he asked for a half liter can of beer.

For months, everyday I went to the supermarket and saw him, I checked with him if he wanted the same order, and he'd just nod.

After a few months, he approaches me himself, and tells me "You're very nice. But I'm an alcoholic, and you're making it very hard for me to stop".

How do you guys know? But doubting you necessarily but here in the USA people often believe the local homeless people all come in on the bus from other states but it isn’t true

Them speaking Polish (and at best only broken German) may just give it away

I know you can tell whether an individual is Polish, I was asking how somebody can tell the majority of homeless people in their country are Polish. Official statistics?

Living next to my local train station.

The overwhelming amount of homeless people living around here are Eastern/Southeastern Europeans, not Germans.

Really..? Don’t they need a visa or something?

They just jump the border, government doesn’t do anything about illegal immigration because they support the current government. So no they do not need visa.
