Poland joined the European union on May 1, 2004
Polish workers have equal rights to employment in the Netherlands
since May 1, 2007. They fall under the the Dutch law and thus must
earne minimum wages of 1268 Euro a month for people working 40 hours a
week.
My Nephew is complaining about them nevertheless,
because Polish companies could send people over already
and they could possibly pay Polish mimimum wages
which would make them cheaper.
"But you get what you pay for" my Nephew adds,
implying the polish companies make a bad job of it.

It may be in the interest of US citizens though if more Mexicans were
there legally and less peope were in the USA illegally. Never mind the
moral implications.
Both the US and Mexico (and especially there peoples) would profit.
But it's up to the US citizens I presume,
if they prefer trying to stop the tide, I assume it's their choice.
