When joining the European integration project, countries declare that they accept the underlying common values and principles, including the principle of solidarity. The migration/refugee crisis has verifi ed the attachment to these principles. As it had happened on many occasions throughout history, in times of crisis national tendencies and interests gain the upper hand and in some countries sensible public debate is replaced by calls for a fight for a European Europe. Poland is one of thesecountries.

The Netherlands is a country with traditions of both emigration and immigration. There are others in the common crucible of culture: migrants from former colonies (Indonesians, Surinams), economic migrants from the time of the economic boom in Europe in the ‘60s (Turks, Moroccans, the people of the former Yugoslavia, Italians, Spaniards), migrant workers from the European Union (Poles, Slovaks, Romanians, Bulgarians), highly qualifi ed employees of international organizations, managers of international companies, academic staff and finally the musicians and painters here who have chosen this as their place to live. The choice of this country as a case study of migratory phenomena is, therefore, by all means justifi ed. It is most interesting to look into Dutch society and see which groups of foreigners have settled in it and how they are perceived. The intent of this article is to pay special attention to the Poles who, in large numbers, after Poland’s accession to the European Union and upon access being granted to them to the Dutch labour market, chose this particular country as a “new home” for a shorter or longer period of time.

Migrations have accompanied mankind for hundreds of years. Wandering for livelihood has been and is inscribed in historical and social processes taking place on a regional and global scale. Decisions on change of residence usually are on economic grounds, but they can also be political, religious, social or related to the climate. They are taken by adults, but their range and effects also affect children. This happens when they take them with them, for the sake of wanting to improve their life situation, or when they leave them in the country of origin, for the same reasons.The challenge for these children is related to the problems of being able to adapt to the new situation, including education and their values,when they leave with their relatives, while when they stay they may experience loneliness, the lack of family warmth and a reduced sense of security. The following text is devoted to the situation of children of immigrants.

The migration crisis of 2015 has left its mark on many EU countries. Some, such as Greece or Spain, were countries on the front line. Others, namely Germany, Great Britain, and Sweden became destination countries for many newcomers. Some, like the countries of the Visegrad Group, opposed the actions and decisions of the EU made in the face of the crisis. European solidarity has become a big question mark and we can observe a serious upsetting of the whole integration project which is, of course, up for discussion. This state of affairs consisted of the attitudes towards the crises of such countries as Poland or Hungary, here anti-immigration and populist parties came to power, creating a vision of flexible solidarity on the European political scene. The purpose of this article is to analyse the Polish migration policy, show the direction of the changes in its construction along with the change of government and the societal reaction to strangers, as a direct result of actions taken by the ruling parties. It is important to understand the political, economic and social context of the changes occurring in the social consciousness and to attempt to formulate a forecast for the future.

The article focuses on the phenomenon of the mobility, isolation, and differentiation of the emigrant groups or mobile workers, whose status is being regulated by the European law and the internal law of the acquiring country. The example chosen for analysis is the Netherlands. Different categories of Dutch immigrants, solutions used on the Dutch labor market, and elements of the political discourse oriented around this issue have all been presented here. The factors which influence the observable differentiation are: history (migration from the former colonial countries), open European market (migration in order to find work, including the increasing percentage of Polish employees), and the international industrial space. This means that expatriates are a special group among the mobile workers (these are highly qualified workers of the international corporations or institutions not connected with the industry). From the Dutch point of view, finding an efficient and acceptable adaptation policy, which will be beneficial for every social group coexisting in this country is an important challenge.
