Another Polish family – a mother with 5 children – brutally deported from the USA.

Another Polish family – a mother with 5 children – brutally deported from the USA.

As a Pole living in the United States since 1987 I am shocked and offended by this injustice which takes place in the USA, the country which is to be the symbol of freedom and social justice.

Why is this system so sick? Where was the Polish minority in America then? Is this how our cooperation should look like? Did the Founding Fathers want THIS? Are these those ‘special relations’ between Poland and the United States? Is this why Poland is the main partner in the coalition with the USA? Is this why Poland sends her troops to Kosovo, Haiti, Iraq, Afghanistan, Golan Heights, Panama and many other places in the world?

Is this why 20 Polish soldiers died in Iraq? Is this why General Kosciusko and General Pulaski fought for freedom of this country? Is this why Polish soldiers fought and died in the WWII on all battlefields against Nazi Germany constituting the 4th army in the allied forces?

Is this how you thank us for destruction of communism and bringing freedom to many countries of the world? Is this why we agree on the location of the new anti-ballistic shield in Poland?

Here, in the USA, you close your eye on terrorists, drug dealers, criminals, while deporting an honest, hard-working Polish family living in the USA for 21 years, a mother with 5 children. This is sick, inhumane, immoral and difficult to understand for every person with a common sense.


What is Polish American Congress doing in that matter? They eat pierogi and bigos, and raise toasts in the Polish Embassy in Washington, that’s all. And these are the results.

Where is any legal help? If that family had been given any legal help in time, they would not have been deported. Where is the co-operation with Polish government and Polish Families’ League?

What is the Committee for Cooperation with Polish Emigrants doing? Here, in the USA, and in Europe, anti-Polish media slander Poland and Poles right in the face. But our Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Polish Embassy in Washington and the Polish Congress in the USA do nothing about it.

And ex-Minister of Foreign Affairs compares 2 million Polish emigrants in Germany to 2 million Polish prostitutes, and Poland itself to ‘an ugly maid’.

Mr Bartoszewski said one more interesting thing; asked why 2 million Polish emigrants in Germany do not have the same rights as a much smaller German minority in Poland, he said (I quote): ‘2 million Poles in Germany cannot have the same rights as German minority in Poland because it is 2 million Polish prostitutes’! My first impression here is that the minister showed uncommon rudeness on the European scale.

Is this why we, Poles, vote and choose such people? Is this why Poland sends ambassadors to the USA so as NOT to protest when the honor of our country is insulted?

So much that in that case little children are involved, children who still go to school and every such situation leaves marks on their psyche and on the mind of young people.

Teresa Zajac with her one-year-old daughter Stephanie, talks about her upcoming deportation back to Poland. Shot in their Garfield Heights home Friday July 20, 2007. When Michael Zajac starts 10th grade, he might be speaking Polish in a country he has never even visited.
He and his four younger siblings expect to receive one-way tickets to Poland with their parents, Teresa and Stefan Zajac, who have lived in the country illegally for more than 20 years.

The Zajacs were ordered to leave the country more than 10 years ago and still have not gone.

Earlier this week, immigration officials arrested Stefan Zajac and told Teresa she has until the end of the month to pack up her family, sell their house and leave the country.

Once again, they're pleading for help from the Polish community and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich.

Nastepna Polska rodzina matka z pieciorga dzieci brutalnie deportowana z USA.

Nastepna Polska rodzina matka z pieciorga dzieci brutalnie deportowana z USA.

Jako Polak mieszkajacy w USA od 1987 jestem obuzony i bardzo dotkniety ta niesprawiedliwosca jaka ma miejsce w Stanach Zjednoczonym, krajy ktory ma byc tym symbolem wolnosci i sprawiedliwosci spolecznej.

Dlaczego ten system jest tak chory?
Gdzie Amerykanska Polonia byla w tedy?
Czy tak nasza wspolpraca ma wygladac?
Czy ojcowie zalozyciele tego kraju tego chcieli?
Czy to sa te specjalne relacje pomiedzy Polska a Stanami Zjednoczonymi?
Czy po to Polska jest tym glownym koalicjantem ze Stanami Zjednoczonymi?
Czy po to Polska wyslawa nasze wojsko do Kosovo, Haiti, Iraq, Afganistan, Golan Highs? Panama i wiele innych miejsc na swiecie?
Czy po to zginelo 20 polskich zolnierzy w Iraku?
Czy po to Generalowie Kosciuszko i Pulawski walczyli i wolnosc tego kraju?
Czy po to Polscy zolnienie walczyli i umierali w czasie II Wojny Swiatowej na wszyskich frontach. 4 armia koalicji przeciw Nazi Niemiec.

Czy takie mamy podzikowanie za z niszczenie komunizmu i wywalczenie wolnosci dla wielu krajow swiata?
Czy po to sie zgadzamy aby nowy system rakiet byl zlokalizowany w Polsce?
Tu w USA przymykaja oczy na terorystow, chandlarzy narkotykow, przestepcow
a deportuja utrzciwa, ciezka pracujaca rodzine Polska mieszkajaca w USA 21 lat, matke z pieciarga dzieci.
To jest chore, nieludzkie, niemoralne i trudne do zrozumienia dla kazdego czlowiega ze zdrowym rozsadkiem.
Co Polish American Congress robi w tej sprawie?
Podjada pierogi i bigos, wznasza toasty w Polskiej Ambasadzie w Waszyngtonie i takie mamy tego rezultaty.

Tak takie mamy rezultaty.

Gdzie ta pomoc prawna ? Jesli ta rodzina by dostala pomoc prawna w pore to nie bylaby deportowana. Gdzie wpolpraca z Polskim Rzadem i Liga Polskich Rodzin?
Co robi ten Komited do Wpolpracy z Polania?
Tu w USA i w Europie negatywne Polsce media wrencz szkaluja Polske i Polakow
A nasze polskie Ministerwo Spraw Zagranicznych, Polska Ambasada w Waszyngtonie, Kongres Polakow w USA nie robia rzadnej REPOSTY.

A byly minister spraw zagranicznych III Rzeczpospolitej porownuje 2 milionowa Polonie w Niemczej do dwuch milionow polskich prostytytek a Polske do „brzydkiej panny”

Bartoszewski powiedział jeszcze jedną, bardzo ciekawą rzecz; otóż na pytanie: dlaczego dwa miliony Polaków w Niemczech nie ma takich samych praw, jak o wiele mniej liczna mniejszość niemiecka w Polsce, Pan Bartoszewski odpowiedział (i tu cytuję dosłownie): „dwa miliony Polaków w Niemczech nie może mieć takich samych praw, jak mniejszość niemiecka w Polsce, ponieważ jest to dwa miliony polskich prostytutek”! Pierwszą nasuwającą się uwagą jest ta, że pan minister dał zapewne na poziomie europejskim popis chamstwa.

Czy my Polacy po to tych ludzi wybieramy?
Czy po to Polska wysyla Ambasadora do USA aby nie protestowaj kiedy honor naszej ojczyzny jest naruszany?

Tymbardziej ze glownie chodzi tutaj o male dzieci,ktore chodza to do szkoly i kazda taka systuacja zostawia slady do konca zycia w swiadomosci i psychice mlodego czlowieka.


This is ridiculous! What is wrong with our system? We let in terrorists, drug smugglers, criminals... you name it- but an honest, hard-working family is being deported? Truly an injustice...there must be someone out there that can help this family.
Co Polish American Congress robi w tej sprawie?

Podjada pierogi i bigos na roznych funkcjach i co z tego.

Takie mamy rezultaty. Gdzie ta pomoc prawna ? Jesli ta rodzina by dostala pomoc prawna w pore to nie bylaby deportowana? Tymbardziej ze glownie chodzi tutaj o maje dzieci ktore chodza to do szkoly i kazda taka systuacja powoduje niesamowity stress.

Deportation looms for Garfield Heights family

GARFIELD HEIGHTS -- Teresa and Stefan Zajac have lived in the Cleveland area for almost twenty years, getting jobs, buying a house, and raising five children.
"I'm not fighting for myself, I'm fighting for my kids," says Teresa.

The five kids, ranging in age from one- to fifteen-years-old, were all born here so they're all U.S. citizens. But they'll leave if their parents go back to Poland.

"It's pretty bad because it's ripping my family apart," says Michael Zajac, ready to enter his sophomore year at Garfield Heights High School. "We've been together for so long, we've settled in. I've lived here my whole life."

Stefan was arrested on Monday and he will stay in jail until the children's passports arrive and the family heads to Poland, perhaps as early as this month.

The I.N.S. says the family apparently failed to meet some qualification in the Life Act, passed in 1997, causing the family to fight deportation for years.

"We're helpless," says Garfield Heights Mayor Thomas Longo, one of the family's advocates.
"Something's out of kilter and now you have all these actions taking place at the national level with the immigrations bills and things like that and it's almost impossible to keep up with that so who knows what's really happening."

Another advocate, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, issued this statement about the situation:

"This is a really sad day for the Zajac family and the community who knows them and of which they have been a part of for two decades. Unfortunately, my appeals to the Office of Legislative Affairs at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and to the relevant Congressional Committee did not result in an exception being made in the law for this family. Now we can all see how the U.S. immigration policy is breaking apart families that have lived here for more than 20 years."

Why can't I stay in this country?" asks Teresa. "I need to know."

"I'm keeping my hopes up," Michael adds. "We all have to stick together. "I hope there's something we can do. I know there's a solution. There has to be one"

The family doesn't currently have an attorney. Their former attorney says the family needs money for filing fees to try to reopen the case, money the family doesn't have
