Immigration Cost - Moussak - 09-21-2009
Hi! I work for a small construction company. There’re some immigrants especially from the Republic of Georgia among our personnel. Recently I had a conversation with one of them about how he came to the EU. His story was that he’d come here through Poland. At first he wanted to get the asylum there and then to find a job. Well, it was about 5 months ago. He said that the Poles had thrown a monkey-wrench into his plans. You know, if it hadn’t been for his friends who paid money to Polish customs officers, he wouldn’t have made it.
You see, I have come across this article of late ( georgiatimes . info/en/analysis/19443 . html ).
Yeah, it seems that Poland’s authorities have really made up their mind to pull the plug on the Georgians!
Yet, if I’m not mistaken, Poland as an EU member-country has to grant asylum to refugees from unstable regions. And Georgia falls under this category without any doubt, because there was a war there not so long ago ( en . wikipedia . org /wiki/2008_South_Ossetia_war)!
Well, it turns out that Poles just don’t give a damn about their European obligations! Well, this is just cr*p! Brussels ought to play hardball with them!

you're right ...in Georgia was war. But, population rather to help restore the economy all run where they can... But do not forget that at all is crisis period and many countries are unable to employ their own citizens ... What speak of others...

Illegal immigration has been painted as a costly problem, an economic necessity and a political football as the debate surrounding it has gathered steam.
Illegal immigration differs from legal immigration in several important respects. First, illegal immigrants tend to have low skill levels, which means they end up in jobs in agriculture, construction, household services, landscaping, low-end manufacturing, or restaurants and lodging. Employers in these industries are primarily the ones who benefit from illegal immigration.
