You see, they have some problems with housing: "Lancashire Fire Service served a restriction notice on the landlord because of the fire safety fears, limiting tenant numbers in the flat.Twelve people - all Polish - were sharing a bathroom and some had no bed.(...) Among the conditions found, they were three people sharing a room that had only two mattresses, investigators said One tenant, who did not want to be named, told the BBC: "There are 12 of us living here. We have only one fridge. We have to manage as best we can."
"There is no future for us. If I knew I had to live like this there is no way I would have come here."
Widow Grazzinna Zielinska, who is working to support her children back home, said a job she paying almost eight times her monthly Polish salary had attracted her to the UK.
"In Poland there is no work, it is very hard," she said.
"That is why I came here. I thought it would be a lot different to this." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/lancashire/4024239.stm


"About 91,000 people from new eastern member states of the EU registered to work in the UK in the five months since the May expansion, figures have shown.(...)However, ministers said up to 45% of those registered were in the UK before 1 May, possibly working illegally." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3998725.stm

Mr. Grudzinski said he hopes that Mr. Bush in his second term will lift visa requirements on Polish tourists and continue to make Polish-American ties "one of the key branches of the trans-Atlantic relationship."
The ambassador said the visa waiver would dramatically boost Polish tourism to the United States.
"We need to have Poles come to Florida to enjoy the sun," he said.

This one killed me. And you know, we are still talking about "Visa Waiver" program designed for tourists, not workers especially illegal. Illegals don't pay taxes, simply because they can't work legally and get Social Security Number to pay taxes. "We need to have Poles come to Florida to enjoy the sun," is that a sarcasm or what?

Hahaha You are so funny. When you don’t have any real arguments you are writing about problems with housing. Who has problems Brits or Poles? Brits don’t have any problems. Peoples who worked there illegally now working legally and they paying taxes as you can read in above article and Brits earning a lot of cash .

I told you one time, Poles don’t must go to the US for vacation, there is so many beautiful places in the world, Poles don’t losing anything. USA is losing, morally and financially. Staying the last civilized country with don’t abandon tourist visas for Poles and others new EU nations isn’t honorable thing IMO. But it is yours decision…
