RThey could learn Czech then that's similar to Polish. Hope the benefits system here keeps them out.

The EU to me is about brain draining the poorer countries for their own gain...
Czech (verbally) isn't very similar to Polish. There's a few words, but the words sound very different - if I had to approximate it, Czech to me sounds like an American trying to speak Polish - it's missing a lot of the weird sounds Polish has. Written CZ is a different story, I can read most of it.
Polish is closest to Slovakian and Ukrainian. CZ is different enough that I usually have to use English there, whereas in SK I can use Polish (including in more complicated situations where I had to stop at a car dealership to explain that I need to buy a very specific type of motor oil).
Edit: Just remembered another reason why CZ is so hard for me.
Polish: "szukam was na zachodzie" = "I am looking for you in the west"
Czech: "šukám vás na záchodě" = "I'll fuck you in the toilet"
Both are pronounced the same. You can see how this could lead to misunderstandings
