the Polish decision to conduct an amnesty for illegal immigrants. Most of them
are Ukrainians. Representative of the International Organization for Migration
Pandya Yemini noted that legalisation has both positive and negative
consequences.
On the one
hand, illegal immigrants’ amnesty helps foreigners to return to normal life.
They can use the medical service and other social services without any fear.
However,
there are also some negative consequences. According to Pandya
legalisation leads to the greater influx of foreigners without any documents,
because they expect to get an amnesty in future again. That is why such steps
are often criticized by some EU countries.

introduction of the effective migration policy.
