Replace Polish Emigrants With Chinese And Indians. Poland has been plagued by mass emigration that has seen 2 million, more or less, people leave Poland to work in Western Europe.

To replace Polish workers who have gone West to work, Poland's Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski proposed at a news conference yesterday that labor be imported from China and India.

Poland has been plagued by mass emigration that has seen 2 million, more or less, people leave Poland to work in Western Europe. This emigration has been good for the emigrants and both good and bad for Poland.

Polish emigrants to the West have benefited Poland by reducing the unemployment rate and stimulating the economy by sending money earned in the West back to Poland.

But their departure has left a shortage of trained workers that are needed, particularly in the construction industry.

To support Euro 2012 just the added labor requirements for road construction are huge. Poland must build 930 kilometers of roads in 5 years. The people to do that just do not exist in Poland.

The labor shortage could be eliminated by encouraging Poles to return. But enticing Polish workers back to Poland is not good for the Polish Government.

First it would be necessary for pay scales to increase dramatically. That would put more inflationary pressure on the economy.

Second the money that they would be sending back from the West would be lost.

A better solution for the country is to bring in cheap workers from the East.

Bringing low cost workers in from India and China would provide the needed workers without causing the problems that would occur if Polish workers came back.

The Prime Minister acknowledged that if the Polish emigrants are not replaced, Poland will not have sufficient workers to complete all the work necessary to prepare for Euro 2012. So the problem must be solved and it must be solved quickly.

And his solution is the take the path of population replacement with cheap workers from the East.

He said that changes to the laws governing these immigrant workers will be submitted to the Parliament.
