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.
