In fresh days, Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported that he had asked the head of the MFA Radosław Sikorski to prepare Polish consulates in the United States for possible deportations of Poles from the U.S. territory in connection with announcements of mass deportations by president Donald Trump. However, most American Polonia do not show fear of this announcement.
According to the Consul General of the Republic of Poland in fresh York, Mateusz Sakowicz, the facility did not observe that the Polish community was afraid of mass deportations. Sakowicz stressed that even during the past weekend he had contact with a large number of compatriots at various events and in no way dominated the talks. Moreover, Vice-President of the Polish legislature for Polish Bożena Kaminska stated that Poles who are not criminals, murderers, did not break criminal law have absolutely nothing to fear.
Sławomir Platta, the owner of the largest Polish law firm in the United States and erstwhile candidate for the fresh York State Senate, said that our fellow Americans in the US had already legalized their stay and in any ways disappeared from the radar of immigration offices. Let us remember, however, that staying in the US only on the "green card" is simply a immense mistake. We forget that it does not defend us from deportation caused even by an unintentional crime.
It is worth noting that president Trump has repeatedly argued that Poles are a hard-working cultural group. They're people who want to succeed. In Poland, we have the possible to start lobbying about amnesty, as it was before.
Sławomir Platta, the Polish national of the United States, pointed out that they can vote in elections and have a direct influence on the political life of the country. Furthermore, Trump had already conducted crucial deportation actions in the erstwhile term, primarily directed towards criminals hiding in the US or illegal visitors from outside the confederate US border.
A Chicago journalist, Margaret Ptaszynska, recalled that it was announced in December that mass deportations in this city would begin as of Tuesday. The Washington administration is now talking about the request to make this project. Local congressmen Delia Ramirez and Jesus Garcia print on social media information about the rights of immigrants.
According to fresh data, there are about 9 million people of Polish origin in the US. Many of them have already legalized their stay or have utilized available options to get permanent residence. Hence the announcements of deportation actions in Chicago itself for many Poles do not sound dangerous.
In summary, most American Polonia do not show fear of president Donald Trump's announcement of mass deportations. Moreover, the Polonus, who have US citizenship, can vote in elections and have a direct impact on the political life of the country. It is so in the interests of any Pole who resides permanently in the US to replace the "green card" with citizenship as shortly as possible.
