Senior Polish Official Says Poland Open to Immigrants on Its Terms
However, Anders wrote, "Poles believe it is for them to decide whom they invite, and that Europe should protect its borders." She added that, "Poles reject having immigrants imposed on Poland , a sovereign state, against voters' will."
In explaining Poland's immigration priorities, Anders is deeply passionate about repatriating the families of Polish citizens who were brutally deported in cattle cars to Siberia and other parts of the Soviet Union as a result of the Hitler-Stalin pact of 1939.
Anders is the daughter of Władysław Anders, famous World War II general who in 1941-42 led to freedom some 120,000 survivors -- Poles, Ruthenians, Jews, Belarusians, Ukrainians and others — held in the Soviet Russia.
