What's wrong with Poland? I don't see anything. [121]
The point I make is, encourage your own people to have children instead of importing the immigrants to do the jobs.
And what if they don't want to do the jobs? Poland already has plenty of people who think that menial work is "beneath them", despite the lack of unemployment benefits and so on. It's the same reason why there are so many Ukrainians employed in Poland, often illegally - they're willing to do the jobs that the Poles themselves don't want to do.
The vast majority of the young Poles are leaving the country to work overseas.
Not at all. If you said that they were leaving rural areas to work in cities, you'd be right. But the mass exodus we saw in 2004-2006 has slowed right down to a trickle.
Instead of giving all these benefits and social welfare to the immigrants give them to your own people to create a Polish citizenry that will support the system instead of importing people who will eventually destroy it.
Poland doesn't give benefits and social welfare to anyone, let alone immigrants. There's no money in the pot to give to Poles - as I said, there's a 1 billion plus black hole in the Social Insurance Institution, so what hope is there for the next generation unless someone else comes along to pay?
And for what it's worth, two members of our Sejm are foreign-born. Both of them are a huge credit to Poland, and represent the type of immigrant that we need here.
Also, just because you have more people does not mean you will have more tax payers. How do you know you will not have the problem California is having? They have TONS of more people (Mexicans) that are not paying taxes, destroying the state, leeching off the social programs and turning the West coast of America into a War zone or drug violence. Are they really providing this savior tax revenue? The answer is NO. Also, it is not just in California, look at England, France, etc.
Most of them can't pay taxes because they're not there legally. Legalise their stay (as Poland is doing at the minute) and you can tax them. It's really that simple.
And again - there are no social programmes in Poland to leech off.
However, you can look at a macro scale timeline of human history and see that the current goal of importing immigrants is a major fail just waiting to happen.
Looking at Polish history, the most successful period came during a time of mass immigration.
I'd agree with you if you wanted to keep out uneducated, non-contributing immigrants. But Poland desperately needs more experts - and as it's not an attractive country for EU citizens, there's no other choice but to look outside the EU.
Incidentally, the vast majority of Polish immigrants to the UK are a credit to Poland. Hard working, enthusiastic and generally everything that the work-shy Brits aren't.
