Poland Doesn’t Want Migrants, but These Foreign Workers Are Welcome
NYT ^ | 07 15 2023 | Andrew Higgins

Determined to resist a European Union plan to spread the burden of migrants and asylum seekers around the continent, Poland’s prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, says his country wants to ensure that “Poles can safely walk the streets,” so it will not take in foreigners it does not want.

At the same time, in central Poland, a tiny village with only 200 residents is preparing for the arrival of 6,000 workers from Asia at a vast, newly built housing compound. The workers are needed by a petroleum company controlled by Mr. Morawiecki’s right-wing government.

The state-controlled oil company PKN Orlen needs them to build a new petrochemical plant that is vital for its expansion plans. Around 100 have already arrived, and the rest will follow soon, vastly outnumbering residents of the village, Biala.

“Some people say this is a bit too much and are worried,” said Krzysztof Szczawinski, the elected head of Biala and one of five local farmers who agreed to lease their land for the new housing compound and construction storage.

This is how migrant labor is supposed to work.

You fulfill your work contract and take your money and go back home to help your family.

Iran doesn’t want “migrants” either.

Where’s the NYT story on that horrific injustice?

Neither does Japan. Neither does China.

Stop the presses, NYT!

Actually, Japan welcomes migrants willing to work. They just don't welcome freeloaders. There are not enough graduates in fields like engineering to fill all the job openings in Japan. So if an engineering graduate from, say, Vietnam is willing to learn Japanese, they can score a sponsor and a visa fairly easily.

Women's Studies graduates, not so much.

Had I noticed NYT, I probably would have stopped. As it is, I made it to “Mr. Morawiecki’s right-wing government.” “Right-wing’ is no dog-whistle as everyone can hear it. It’s s call to hate and reject.

Quality journalism reserves its opinion for the opinion page, often providing a quality opinion. This article provides a trash opinion up-front to increase its propaganda effect. The New York Times continues to discredit itself.

Asians can do their work and stay in their compounds. Mexicans get themselves in trouble when their work shift is over. A 60 hour work week-no overtime-allows them to return home with more money and lower costs for the vintners.

Use them and then send them away. As long as it’s not slavery. What if a Fidel Castro/KimJung Un doesn’t confiscate their wages. That would be slavery.
