think if you are looking for work and prepared to move to find it, you will succeed. That's what Poles are doing in other countries, right? Most of them do it here as well. If you live in an economic blackspot, it's best to move, while the government prevaricates and plans it's next Amazon crappy job warehouse solution.
You are forgetting that not everyone is an educated, single 20 year old without commitments. Those who were have already done it. Beside that, I should mention the alcoholism and pathology that is a big part of polish countryside-legacy of communism and state collective farms. Poverty breeds pathology and that breeds more pathology and it is hard to break that cicle. We should concern ourselves with solving that situation.
If I am so "ignorant", what is your suggestion then? "Creating jobs" as in communist times, by planting a "metalworks" in every pretty town, or by producing kettles etc etc etc that nobody wants?
Deal with the problem. Invest time and resources to get these people active and competitive on the job market. The wages in Poland are low, some people face the problem of moving to a bigger city, leaving their parents/children behind and living in some crappy apartment, while sending everything home or staying, taking care of them and being unemployed or trying to live of the land. How bringing uneducated, non polish speaking people will help? The resoures would have to be "wasted" on them and Poland is not rich. You take care of your own first.
In the meantime, I can't get me a proper cleaner who is actually prepared to do the job properly. I would love the chance to employ an immigrant who might actually do some graft.
Why do you believe that they are prepared to do anything? You think to import people from Africa and give them a stamp in their passport that says "cleaner"? Assuming that they would want to do the job(and statistically 75% of Arab women do not work and I don't see aman cleaning your house)and forgeting for a moment all the hassle that bringing them here creates it still wouldn't solve the problem because the next generation wouldn't want to do that and you would have to bring more people and it would go on and on. That is shorsighted and it is crazy to bring people from 3 thousand km away and investing in them when you can do the same with people 100 km from you.
Also, Poland is in a fortunate situation to have Ukrainians that are able and willing to work here on a working visa when they are needed.
Try them or the students, it is really not that difficult, post and ad maybe?
P.S. We are once again coming to the conclusion that these people are not refugees but an economic immigrants.
I would like to comment on this thread but as the MODS have deleted my recent posts without any explanation, or, replied to my e-mails, I have no idea as to what I am allowed to say?
Me neither, I assume they think it is straining too much from the topic, but half of this thread can e considered that and I don't understand how the decision is made.
Just heard in the news. Big mouth Hungary has just decided to follow what EU tells them to do. Money does talk! ;). Poland too shall follow as too weak to dictate their will to Brussels...
Not too hard to understand, EU pays, EU decides ;)
Nah, they are still building the wall.
It is interesting though, isn't? Hungary has bigger problem with illegal immigration than Italy does and yet no quotas are proposed to deal with the problem.
