News / Don't let Poland become like my country, France. [630]

In most cases only to those who are married to Polish citizen ( or if they established long- term economical relationship with Poland, meaning owning a business not just working ) , multiculti children will never get unless they are children of at least one polish citizen . Unlike in Canada or USA ( the most multiculti states) .

I got no idea of US or Canada... yea a little about USA but in all the wrong ways by a friend who used to take prospective citizens with wacky plans from here :D ...

Anyways ... yes when they are married to Polish Citizen it is much faster. However on work and education they can get a PR, and later if they show proper reason for their stay in Poland, they can get a Citizenship. Although again, the 6 good friend (ex-foreigners and now Polish citizens) are all married to Polish, but even before that they had a possibility to gain citizenship and I think most of them already had a PR.

There is a length of time they need to stay ... and their conduct, capability, education, job ... it all matters. You cannot just discard it. Yes, businesses make it easier. But something making it easier doesn't mean that other things do not work at all.

Our immigration policy is not that stiff as you mentioned. Infact not many want to stay in Poland. I noticed that most just go towards UK, Germany or France ... etc (mostly to UK). Unfortunately for those countries, those who are usually not very capable in studies or clear of their goals go to those places.

Fortunately for Poland, or maybe atleast in my experience, I have found people will good education who would be capable back in their home country as well, prefer to stay in Poland and work their way for a living. Reason of choices range from interest in Polish landscape, a liking developed for the country, or relationships formed while their stay in here.

About fake stuff, I don't really mix with the unskilled labors found in shady alleys ... or discos with narcotics etc. I've been happily acquainted with people from reasonably good backgrounds ... coming from USA to Japan, from China to India, from South America to Canada ... etc ... Students mainly, business reasons, even activists.

The policy for immigration is infact not balanced. I always thought that with proper immigration policies, the high influx of those who have no intention really to stay in a country and contribute truly and effectively to its prosperity would not be able to make it. For this, the compulsory requirement of a certain amount of money in the bank (which seems to take all the focus) needs to be removed, and focus must be given to genuine students. For this, the agents from Poland and those countries must be discouraged, and students who apply themselves to Polish Universities must be given the priority and welcomed with open arms even. Plus, our Universities can benefit too by getting into affiliations and partnerships with more foreign universities for student exchange etc...

Positive immigration is a healthy thing.

( one principle among many others)

You are not accurate. On reasonable grounds, and proper duration, papers etc ... PR and Citizenships are generally granted. How many do you know who were denied? I for one know a few who got accepted. So there you go ...

Fake marriages are something that happens with mutual consent based on money. Such actions are performed by Poles in US and other places where they want to stay as well. Often some of our actions are worse than those which we boast against. Its a long story and a very unfortunate one. In either ways, not all marriages are fake.

Polaci do not give jobs to foreigners.

We've got problems with proper jobs even for Poles ... with proper qualifications even. Our economy is improving and there is hope, but we have our problems which need to be sorted.

odz why don't u leave homogeneous Poland for a while and try liviing in the west for a bit.

For your information this is my country, the country for which my ancestors (not very far back) have given their blood to free and prosper.

Poland cannot be shut down, and it cannot dwell the fate of Apartheid South Africa or the brutal racism that the failed racists preach 24/7 out of their own personal lack of confidence and capabilities.

I am all for free and fair integration ... and I have given my views which I feel are reasonable for my and other European nations as well: Ideas for constructive Immigration methods for Poland.

Important to note that this is for future migration ... for those citizens of our countries who came as a result of migration, the schooling must be improved for their children to integrate. Integration must be induced both ways. Remember that in this way only Europe wins. Remember again, that nothing is lost from Europe, but Europe only and ONLY gains. Apart from the black gene, all the rest of those genes are recessive compared to the white gene, and turn the same as any of us in 2 or 3 (max) mixing. However, even beyond that, to become color conscious is not being modern, but medieval.

As humanity progresses ... evolved ... and the world turns into a global village. The resistance will keep coming, but there had been no resistance powerful enough to stop the Dawn from happening, or to keep the sun from rising by tying it with ropes or chains.

non-European

There is no non-European once they start with the process of being a citizen as well as step into the process of integration which MANY OF THEM DO.

So sorry for you Jarnowa ... you have only ONE BLOODY SHAMEFUL AND SERIOUSLY LACKING IN CONFIDENCE objective, and that objective will never be fulfilled only due to the TOOLS you employ to achieve them.

George Corley Wallace, Jr. (August 25, 1919 - September 13, 1998) was the 45th Governor of Alabama, serving four terms: 1963-1967, 1971-1979 and 1983-1987. "The most influential loser" in 20th-century U.S. politics, according to biographers Dan T. Carter[1] and Stephan Lesher,[2] he ran for U.S. president four times, running officially as a Democrat three times and in the American Independent Party once.

Life / Ideas for constructive Immigration methods for Poland. [30]

Well, I am Pro-Humanist and immigration always, but it is only reasonable to have some rules for such matters. Do you not judge a person before making friends? Do you not investigate before getting into a marriage? Do you not read properly before coming into a business deal? I think we all should do it.

There cannot be room for shady people. Sorry. No, not being unfair, but I say the same for the hooligan and frauds of my own country who are disturbing Poles or citizens of other countries where they immigrate and should respect their laws and also common human decency.

I think immigration is positive, but with proper streamlining of the rules, such as:

The best solution is to have better working immigration policy when it comes to Poland. As I repeatedly say, it should be students who are brought in, along with skilled workers and investors (if they wish).

1. The focus on "certain amount of money in the bank" must be repealed, as this only takes away focus from other stuff.

2. Medical checkup of infectious and incurable diseases such as HIV and others must be done without delay. However, physical disabilities should not be judged unfairly, unless there is someone with enough potential to take care of that person.

3. Students must be given full priority (even welcomed with open arms), while skilled workers can come if they get employment, and investors may stay in Poland if they invest in acceptable manners and margins.

4. Student recruiting "agents" from abroad must be BANNED. Students who can use their own intelligence to contact Universities in our countries and then get accepted can come! Also, our Universities must get in contact with Universities from other Eastern or America or any other nation (you name it) through affiliations, exchange programs etc ... so that valid/genuine students can make efforts themselves to try and enroll here if they wish to live here or work or study.

etc ...

In this way we get genuine students. These people are must more capable and integrate absolutely easily to the host country, and make it home (only if they prefer to do so).

I can tell you that out of a few foreign students I remember, only 6 of them preferred to stay in Poland and got married to Poles, and have children and are doing quite fine. With their talent, I believe they would do just as well in any other country in the world, including theirs. This is because in their country there is enough opportunity for people with their education ... also they can buy all luxuries in their home. However, in special reasons (e.g. taste to live in Poland, a special liking developed for Poland, or a relationship they fell into while in Poland) they actually prefer to live in this country. As a result, it is very natural.

There was an Egyptian friend among these genuine students, who returned to Egypt after his course was over. Didn't even try to stay back.

There were a few others who moved to UK. They were not really serious students, and entered showing money and through AGENTS.

I know and befriended those six who are really good people ... but there are more I have an idea of, who have done well in Poland or returned to their countries as they are quite capable anywhere.

NOW THIS IS NORMAL AND NATURAL. It is WE who often start the problem with our policies. Why come into contract with foreign student recruiting agents? Why not come in contact with REAL UNIVERSITIES and leave it to capable students who can find their way into our Universities themselves? I can tell you that those who can do that, are truly refined people with good brains.

After these measures ... the unskilled, trouble maker (we have our hooligans, same way they have theirs ... and both are loads on any nation), useless and fake folks can stay out.

Plus, our law and order situation must constantly be updated.

This way ... we are not racist, we are only being responsible.

In this new world, Poland needs to integrate to the world aswell. No we cannot SIMPLE CANNOT afford or need a shut down.

Our Universities must allow better Scholarships and keep seats for foreign students, specially from developing nations.

Open borders is my ultimate wish ... but no border or nation or society can be open for crime. Open borders for those who are genuine and worthy. The world is closed to hooligans (from both sides).

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN ADD ANY "REASONABLE" NON-RACIST and NON-CHAOTIC/XENOPHOBIC IDEAS TO THE POLICIES, PLEASE DO. I THINK I CAN WHOLEHEARTEDLY WELCOME MY FRIENDS FROM OTHER NATIONALITIES SUCH AS INDIA, CHINA, KOREA, BANGLADESH, IRAN, EGYPT, SOUTH AMERICA, USA ... ETC (SORRY IF I MISSED ANY) CAN CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TOO, BECAUSE I KNOW I HAVE NOT BEEN UNFAIR AGAINST THEM. ITS FAIR FOR ALL THAT GOOD PEOPLE ENSURE THEIR VALIDITY AND SAFETY :).

They for sure won't raise their kids as Poles...as you so kindly assume!

I think they do. I know couple who do ... and I posted a pic or two too (and later removed it with the help of moderators).

Nice it all looks, cute children.

It depends who you are talking about ... I mostly am acquainted with students and skilled/educated people.

Both the parties need to come forward to allow/let/induce them to integrate once they are members of your country. It is in benefit of both. Only they cannot move forward ... you must too.

Another thing ... the schools. This is vital.

Its a stance everyone of the older folks have ... before they face someone. It is nothing extra ordinary. I can only say that this do not bug anyone ... such feelings are like oxide on aluminum ... they move away in a shower or wipe. Poles have big hearts ... I know and live it.

If tolerance was pushed to the limits, Poles wouldn't think twice about bringing out GROM and their army.

The world has changed. It is not medieval. Tolerance must work hand in hand with proper strategy and their implementation. Force and bullets are not the tools you deal with your home or civil matters.

I don't hate immigrants for the sake of hating them. I just don't want my people to become a minority in their own country. Is that too much to ask ?

If they become your own people, then you will not be a minority and neither will they be.

There are better, more sound ways to deal with things. You yourself say "fake students" ... and I must tell you that there are ways to resist it... starting with removing the "certain" amount of money in the bank policy. That works as the detractor.

France is dealing with its national issue very badly. Those are your people, French, so don't call them other names and deal with it in better, more sound manners. To go on detail would be possible, but I would've done that if it were amount immigrants in Poland.

I do love and respect the French, but you have to deal with this yourself ... and don't expect people to share hatred. Sharing love and positive images of France, and good practices ... would be wonderful.

I like France for many reasons ... and hatred or racism is not one of them.

Slavs don't tend to respond well to foreign elements on their soil.

Only when they want to kill, dominate, constrain out freedom ... occupy us ... etc etc. Not when they come as a harmless friend, a mate, a business partner, an investor.

How do you expect assimilation of completely different cultures in such a society?

Students, skilled people, investors ... were these who got into Germany?

Some immigration/visa policies say "they need to have a "certain" amount in bank ... bla bla" ... and thats it. This is not the criteria which would ensure responsible and acceptable immigration. It should be genuine students (often not very rich, but very promising and integrate very fast), skilled workforce and investor (for skilled worker their employment and skill certificate etc ... for investor the investment proof).

As for those who are IN now, they need to deal with schools strategized to be in such a ratio the the children end up making friends and become close to the native people. The school should put those positive ideas into their mind, and construct their personalities.

Both must make an extra effort to come forward and help the new to integrate.

No other way out.

If they make a mosque, it must look nice. They cannot make a cheap one ... a small and ugly one. There are some pretty ones too.

Now as for the many many mosque, I think such a thing would be unnecessary and pretty useless in a country where there are not many muslims. There should be prayer places specifically for catering such communities ... unnecessary structures are useless for anyone.

I would actually say same for Churches of Synagogoues or other religious establishments.

Also, such structures should be funded or demanded by atleast a credible number of locals ... atleast there should be a petition that they need such a place (i.e. it is a requirement). Unless such a reasonable demand is met, I dont think there is a reason for such prayer places to be built. THIS IS PERFECTLY FAIR AND PROPER REASON TO SAY "Why build when there is no need?".

Says the Polish Buddist....

I am not a Polish Buddhist. I am not the kind who decides upon his religion or land or family etc on the direction of his wife. There is a place for everything in a person's life, and their own respective importance. There is a thing called balance...

So, you don't care if immigrants do not integrate/assimilate and raise their children as proud muslims instead of Poles....

What on heavens made you think that? I don't understand why you try to drag things out of plain and simple words which is there for you to read. I didn't say anything like you did, infact the contrary.

They can be muslims, in a Europeanized manner ... and then ... the genes would integrate. I can tell you for the Eastern, Egyptian or Greek genes ... they are recessive and it shows more Pole than them. I don't know black/pole couples well - and its not my fault that I don't ... its just as it is.

and there is a reason behind that choice.

good luck with your conspiracy theory. But that good luck is that it should stop once, and it will be stopped. Anarchy is not going to be Europe's future anymore. Sorry.

Reg link: such links are ones which create problem (and problem is from both side)

How polish!

There are nuns who wear alot of such stuff too.

To tell you the truth ... I don't support extremism both ends. I live moderation ... not too much exposure (commercialization/commoditization of people) and not abnormal robes and gowns and hijab and all those stuff. But then I wish that a free and fare Europe be supported ... not a medieval one which forces people on one group's ideology.

what is it Lodz?

What is it? ...

I don't think headscarf can be a problem. Some scarfs look nice even. I have seen my Finnish friend wear a cute headscarf for fun ... she even removed it later. She wore it when she went Kashmir ones with her her husband.

What I want to say is that its not a sign of rebellion. Its just a personal choice. You can wear a helmet, its your life. Where is freedom that Europeans want to uphold and enjoy in their lives?

To integrate, we also must lend a hand (and it is not lend only when they come in). A friendship is two ways. Plus, our systems (schooling) need to be revamped.

First of all ... single students are much better. However, for those who are already in with children ... those children must be in a ratio at classrooms such, that they spend more time with the native. Make friends there. The messages of life, and their personality construction must start from school ... not some negative-brainwasher scum. Its a broad discussion on its own rights ... wonder if you get it.

PS, the Muslim graves from your article desecrated with a swastika seems a bit ironic

I didn't write that article. So its not mine ... I just posted it.

As for that swastika, perhaps some hooligan put it. They respect their graves those muslims, and not all are mad.

I don't know the irony ... for me that person who put it must be jailed as he/she (probably he) is a danger to public safety.

more about the terrorist cells

These must be deactivated by use of force. They are formed by brain washed people, and the brain washer is usually a useless immigrant who was not supposed to be one in the first place.

This is why I am pro Students and pro investors/skilled people. I have a list of check ups in mind which I actually suggested in a seminar with attendees from India, Bangladesh, Japan, Korea and Chinese and Egyptian, Turkish, Greek and other nationality people. But surely I respect and love people (good ones) to make our countries more diverse and rich.

Poland has no such issue

In this world which is increasingly becoming a global village, such things might happen. It is naive to think it can be completely resisted. Better is to work actively with proper law and order maintenance and enforcers etc ... working with pro Poles among the new members of the Polish family. Become more aware, and creating an atmosphere which support equality and ethics.

We must be aware that we want (as a nation) to integrate into this world too. Cannot be shut down.

So you would support muslim headscarfs for immigrants in Poland?

Neither do I support or oppose. I just said that if someone wishes, they cannot be pulled down the street and their scarf be ripped apart from them. This is just as hideous as the Taliban.

If you read that article, only a few people wear it. Even some old women in parts of Europe wear it. Let that be a personal choice ... its not harming anyone.

I don't think £ódź knows too much about the Balkans experiment

Dont just think. Thinking is a free things which is wasted when all the elements and variables for its proper route can be gathered.

Why should be let myself be inspired by crime and influenced by hatred or inflicted by doubt? They were never things that would benefit anyone when you let them enter your mind or heart.

I think anarchy is good.

I don't accept my good countryman enkidu's idea of "traces" of anarchism in us. Rather, I would say we are great critiques, and we love to analyze the situation. We are not satisfied with what we achieved or have, which is a sign of our relentless pursuit of making ourselves better than what we are and what we have achieved.

By this I don't mean to say I support or deny government. I only mean to say that things can be "better" doesnt mean that I am in support of breaking everything that exists.

...

A great positive thing among Poles are their capability to think beyond the confinements which are provided to them. They have a big heart, and a heart which loves to see beyond ... and a mind which travels further. Poles love to see wider and are a curious nation.

A racist thread preaching hatred, intolerance and mass generalization ... targeting and forcing people (as the French does for as simple as headscarf, which should be a personal choice for all).

This is the French version of women freedom: [
pulsemedia.org/2011/04/15/of-niqabs-monsters-and-decolonial-feminisms

Sick and repulsive.

By "French" I do not mean the people of that wonderful nation. The topic poster represents people of his kind and such people can be find in any country.

There are wonderful Irish, French and English people ... I have some very nice Greek friends. I know some outstanding USA people ... all I can say is that the world is larger than this thread, and so are its thoughts.

Very proud of knowing people who represent todays world and its prosperity ... and who play an active role is shaping a positive and prosperous future for it.

As a Pole I am pro immigration of Genuine Students and Highly skilled workers who wish to integrate into the country and raise their children as Poles. Mostly they start their entire process of being Polonized with getting Poland in their genes. This is an important thing.

There is no reason to become paranoid ... only a reasonable measure to ensure quality new members of the country. Proper (strict) health check, police record, STUDENTS (priority), Highly Skilled people, Investors ... and still mostly students (preferably single/unmarried). Such kinds tend to integrate faster, and end up getting mixed with the native gene pool.

We cannot be pushed back to a Facist, Nationalist, Extremist and Dark Medieval Europe. NOT POLAND.

I fear that terrorist attacks will take place on their soil in the not too distant future. Poland doesn't need that nonsense.

You mean the ones similar to IRA attacks?

Or ETA?

Or ... perhaps the Nazi take over of Germany?

Or perhaps many similar things ...?

Criminals, be they of any race/religion/color or language ... must be put to a proper trial and face Justice. For this, the most naive thing would be to target and brand a particular set of people are a problem (and then go ahead seeking "Final Solution" kind of things).

People who are European, regardless of background ... must be dealt by our courts and laws (which are quite capable).

Lodz how can one describe such things if each person is different.

Yes, each person is different... but there are some things which are common due to a shared identity. I meant that ... not those intrinsic personalities which differentiate us. But our common aggregate way which unite us into a nation ... and thus constitute some form of a common trait which can be positive or negative. However, I am looking for the positive here.

I already mentioned that all nations of the world have their own positive trait ... and it is no secret that I consider every human as one family, and not at all into races etc. It is just like we, as member of this family, have somethings special in us to offer ... just to see those special components that we have and to be cheerful about it.

To call Polish women most beautiful and the men most gentle is not my idea of our trait. It is also not quite firm in its standing. There are beautiful women everywhere, and gentlemen too. However, our heart, the smile (and I think the Polish smile is particular in its exciting feature ... just like the sweet Korean smile, and the soothing Thai smile).

they may deficate on your doorstep because its their culture.

Its the culture of the reckless, the remorseless and the ignorant. There are Brits (the white ones) who would do it aswell after getting all drunk or with a raging heart full of hatred against someone (perhaps even a Pole immigrant) on their doorstep. Its not the culture of the civilized and properly educated (morally and technically/academically) who can come from any color/religion/linguistic background or origin.

You global lovley world doesnt work...look at other parts of Europe and open your eyes!

It does work, the world is increasingly becoming a global village and the night is darkest before the morning comes. I believe in this and will always believe in it. The innate goodness of mankind is much stronger than the temporary darkness which some people wish to be obsessed with.

There are successful people of all origins in UK and USA and other parts of the developed world. In such a scenario, it is better to look at the good things in life rather than dwell in the stuff which we know should not have been there. It all needs a united effort from every decent individual for an aggregate good life on Earth. For this purpose, we all can begin from our homes and then to the community and thus eventually make our contribution to the society and the world ... all of those are common to all of us - a global family.

I am always in favor of good, educated and decent people ... including immigrants who would prefer to own a country for themselves and serve it better. When I speak in favor, mostly it is the genuine students who are more prone towards integration (but we must allow the integration too by bring friends and creating a positive atmosphere).

The labors or the workers are never my goal. Highly skilled workers are welcome though.

I'm also always critical on thorough medical checkups become letting someone in. Infact I attended a seminar on this issue, and we were all in favor of good people to share lives with us! Not against ... and there were friends from countries like Egypt, India, China, USA and some South American nations attending that seminar.

Its just that thinking in an extreme way is not the only answer ... there are points of balance in between.

but surely not the Germans or other non-Slavs...

I pray the germans should prosper...

I am married to a non-Slav.

News / Row over status of Poles in Germany sours relations [176]

award goes to.

You dont need to go ahead with your award ...

I do still believe that the world is one, but you cannot comprehend a deeper structure in that. It is like this: The city you live in is yours, but also your home is yours. If you keep your home clean and functional, you can go ahead and contribute to the development of your city and its residents. In your home can come new members, but still this home should function properly, grow and cater to new needs. It is important to be self sufficient.

I have never been an anarchist. You just need to come down from the "extreme" view point of anything, and avoid coming to conclusions.

It’s in everyones interest?

A modern, self sufficient and prosperous Poland would be in everyones interest.

Blimey you make the Yanks (no offence) sound rather unpatriotic with that speech...

I don't understand what you mean here. To say that "we should be self sufficient and progress towards a stronger economy" cannot be something prejudiced or fascist.

News / Row over status of Poles in Germany sours relations [176]

We Poles must make our country strong enough to not only find work here, but also allow others to find work and make a living.

Good luck to Germany ... but for Poland, for Poles, it is our country which can always make the final deliverance to all our interests!

The Horizon of Poles is no longer confined in a region or a continent, but to the entire globe ... we need to be more competitive, and HEAR YOU WELL than we are totally equipped to make it big ... or atleast be more self sufficient, only we have to have the right strategies, and a strong sense of national unity.

Life / Why Poles have so pro-emigration attitude? [85]

It is a global trend ... everyone is emigrating, and if you say the Americans and UK people (or western world) is not, then I would say that they miss the fun.

However I do agree that now Poland needs Poles more than ever to develop, but even then I am pro freedom of choosing to emigrate, and I am also pro those who choose to immigrate to my country. So here you go ... its fare all around.
