That used to be true, not sure anymore. In the early 80's a lot of Polish came over from Poland on tourist visas....then ..........poof.

The women took jobs as maids, (I had one),and the men in the construction trades with a reputation for honesty, competence and hard work.

By the late 80's you couldn't find a Polish maid anymore. They assimilated and moved on to better things. Chicago was a great city then, now it's just Detroit on the lake.
